I think I'll be looking at the Scalelink option by the sounds of it.
The tender wheels have been swapped with some wheels i had to hand and looks ok
I am in no way a pedant and if the number of spokes is out, I can live with it for this model. once the wheels are rotating they are more difficult to count
The Lilliput model is v nice as you say , but with the dark nights coming its nice to have a challenge
