Hi jrg1
Thankyou for the welcome comments re the Stroudley. The origin of the kit was Gem bought on Ebay complete with basic chassis and XT60 motor minus wheels and instructions. It was just one of those kits you feel you have to rescue, a little research, photos, wheels and the invaluable scrap box made this loco very cheap and most enjoyable.
Now I have retired let the painting commence!!
regards David
