A new kit for Hardy's Hobbies, announced today; I've been working on this one for a while. It's been a joy to do, as the chassis (a Hornby B2) is an almost perfect match, and none of the dimensions have needed to be compromised to make it fit. This leaves plenty of space to add strengthening, and lots of spaces to add weight - coupled with the already good chassis, this one should run beautifully.

However, I always make unique versions of the Hardy's kits to run on my own layout, so the question here is - what tweaks should I make? I could play around with the sandboxes, toolboxes and ladders a bit, or maybe go for a different chimney style...
