Hi, My Drummond 700 in late BR livery arrived today. There are 2 flaws: 1) 2 casting lines are visible behind the chimney running from side to side and a single line runs back to front on each side just below the smokebox door. You have to look closely to see them. The lines are pretty straight and could be mistaken for being present on the original model. 2) more annoyingly the number on the smokebox door is just very likely lopsided. Performance out of the box if smooth going backwards, but there is some jerkiness on moving forward. The model looks very good overall. I may decide to keep mine even with the defects.

An idea! We all long for information but are unhappy as little is forthcoming. The manufacturers/sellers want sales of these & other products.They are unhappy as no sales revenue is arriving. However they know what the manufacturing position is. Why don't they give us regular updates...even if it is on very minor events..often great fun comes from the lead up to arrival of a parcel and news like this could only please customers...a good thing from all angles..the sellers & the buyers. I would strangely be interested in updates...such as "the cab mould is being corrected for testing in 3 weeks"

Hi I have 2 kits of the 00 gauge model with the supplied motorised bogies & have reached the body completion stage. I do not know how to add the bogies to the body , that is how the bogies are connected to the body. Can any of you help me please? I must say that the motorised bogies look very good.
