Been a while posting so a quick update
9F not many left 2 Evening Stars, 2 single chimney, 3 Tyne dock and 4 double chimney
The locos will go round 3'9" in both directions with the longer draw bar fitted
we have tested them pulling 21 brass coaches still drawing less than an amp
The new Loksound 4L with a stay alive is proving very popular rated at 3amps it is plenty for this loco and other accessories including smoke, this all fits inside the loco
Britannia and Duke are go from an interest point of view just go to face economical facts if the pound drops after Brexit vote we may have to wait until it picks up again.
The factory have already plonked one price increase on us which we have absorbed but another would be deadly, we got a good deal on the 9F because of the numbers we ordered but this run will be a lot smaller
There are a couple of cancelled orders at the old price on the website under finished locos
