James, a nice early birthday present indeed. Those cannon & co bits look interesting. Have seen quite a number of these machines this week... for a nice change, and will be watching with interest

I'm looking forward to see metal and plastic get cut!

It'd be nice to have some Cannon bits in N, alas wire and what's already there will have to suffice. Thinking about this project spurred me on with 66170, and yesterday saw most of one side get done, though there's plenty of room for more. I wonder if there'll be any ideas I can nick from yours...

Awwwwright, James, go for it my man. Be watching with great interest. All the best on a great build.

Cheers, Tony

Thanks chaps - I can't wait to jump in, but I'm finishing off a few workbench jobs first... the P4 Judith Edge Sentinel is getting there, Rose Hill station is now finished and the Pacer is on final transfers and interior. I'm going to keep the PNAs and Seacow weathering and finishing off so I have an alternative project incase I get sick of the Shed

James, found this thread today, about problems with Bach 66 derailings... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/19487-bogie-design-fault-on-the-class-66/

Thought that you might like a read before gettign too engrosed with the overhaul.

Oh.... and Happy Birthday !!!!
