Are soldering skills essential?
All whitemetal and many of the brass components in DJH kits can be assembled using epoxy or cyano adhesives but a measure of soldering is unavoidable when you come to building the working chassis (we can assemble 00 valve gear -excluding K40- for you at an extra charge of 10 per kit, plus postage). Simple soldering is not, however, a difficult skill to acquire. The kit instructions outline the main principles and a few minutes practice with some spare pieces of metal will help you learn the basics.
