My model 'Lord Faringdon' arrived last Saturday and although I don't anticipate doing any major work to it for at least a year, I have made a start of sorts in that I've replaced the bogie, driving wheels and removed the huge coarse motion brackets....

It already looks much improved, but clearly there is a lot of work to do! I'm currently pondering how I can lower the body on the chassis without doing too much of a hack-job on either body or chassis.
