To add to my recent blogs on the subject, attached (I hope) are photos of my 517 0-4-2T, 559.

 

This was built many years ago and has a Portescap motor with the MJT gearbox conversion.

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!
