Is there a reason why the lining on the front of the tanks is missing the black along top edge on the models, not seen this on prototype?

Hi Graham, looking forward to seeing this, do you thing Hornby will ever bring this version out or worth doing the same if I'm after this version? I'd be looking to make 35002 Union Castle painted blue as didn't have cab modified till 1954. thanks Geoff

Thanks Graham. Will look forward to it.

Graham, What would be involved additional to the smoke deflectors to make this a later series 1? I'm assuming RT models would have the parts needed. I am hoping Hornby's next move is the later version series 1 as they look the business, if not I will be looking at doing the same. thanks, Geoff

Hi Dave, I have been looking forward to following this build, am I correct in thinking the wheels are Markits, I was wondering which part number they were? thanks, Geoff

Hi, You could try Youchoos Beattie Well tank sounds. I have used it for my LSWR 0395 as its an early Adams design with Beattie similarities.

Richard, thanks for info, do you know what the RP25 spec stands for? thanks, Geoff

Richard, thanks for info, do you know what the RP25 spec stands for? thanks, Geoff

Hi, Loco looks great, what make and part number did you use for the driving wheels? thanks Geoff

It is great that the 59ft versions will be made as I had always expected to be building these from kit. I was over the moon with hornbys announcement.

Thanks Graham and Tavy Man, hopefully Bachmann will bring out the 2406 or maybe if its just the interior detail its something a bit of modelling can resolve with vent positions etc. were the windows the same position if toilet was moved?

Graham, I am interested in putting together an ACE West of England service, do you know what diagram was used for the 'loose' coaches? I was hoping the new Bachmann BCK's would be suitable. Thanks in advance, Cheers Geoff

Dave, what tool do you use when cutting the brass sheet to desired shape? thanks, Geoff

Dave, thanks for reply, i think i will pay the extra and go for the PDK as im after the larger boiler version, I've built their kits before, a bit more work involved with the brass but pleasing results at the end.

Dave, did you have any of the cylinder/motion bracket problems with the PDK S15 kit you built earlier in the thread? I've been looking to get a H15 kit but been put off the DJH one by the running problems i had with the S15. thanks Geoff
