The Duke
OK, Golden Arrow Duke of Gloucester build starts now. Opening the box we have:
I've cleaned the loco body of the small amount of flash, needs a final fettle with some fine files to finish. There are a couple of air bubble holes in the chimney and a w/m replacement might be in the offing.
Similarly I might use some ex-JE etched deflctors now I've got the hang of them with the Clan and 2-8-2.
Tender is Chris' new BR1J and a fine moulding it is too - should match up to the Hornby chassis without much fuss.
I have a DCC ready loco drive Brit chassis from eBay ready to match up to the body which means a bit more faffing getting it to fit as the kit is designed for a tender drive chassis. Updates will follow
EDIT:
the following image shows how much longer the throw is on the GA rear pony
