JDaniels 132 Posted November 20, 2017 That looks superb John. For a moment I thought you had built the SEF one overnight! Thanks Mikkel No not quite that quick. I need to get the gears (High Level) but SEF did supply a Mashima motor. They have some in stock, as do High Level. One problem I had with the M and L kit was a driving wheel loose on the axle. It slipped too easily. In a fit of extravagance I ordered Ultrascale wheels to replace the Gibson ones but have discovered that my temporary solution of superglue seems to have cured the problem. The Ultrascale wheels can go on the SEF kit. They are supposed to be good, at that price they should be solid gold! Link to comment
