Gruffalo 1,184 Posted December 3, 2013 Looks like a quality build of a pretty basic kit with plenty of added detail such as handrail knobs, sprung buffers, boiler stays and coal. Link to comment
RMweb Premium Barry O 148,374 Posted December 3, 2013 RMweb Premium Thanks gents - perhaps one day it may have a trundle on Cwmafon.... And I have remembered why it was built* My father built this for my late brother in law who was born and raised in Ledbury where he spent some time on the Banking engines there as a boy before joining up.When he dies my sister gave it back to me Barry O * or rather her indoors remembered for me.

Weaselfish 24 Posted December 3, 2013 Don't drop it on your foot Barry. Am I right in thinking that the K's kit also allowed you to build the version with the straight frames and running plate? Link to comment

No it would hurt and not sure about the options as I didn't build it and it was a long time ago... Link to comment
