JSpencer Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 46229 runs well after a couple of initial glitches.The first was a pair of steam sanders which effectively ensured no forward movement until proper relocation .The second was "that" pony truck which was so wayward that derailment was achieved at every baseboard join and set of points.Then ...Thanks Andy Y who pointed this out in a post several weeks ago...a simple fix is achieved without recourse to any extra weight or screwdriver .Gently pull downwards the bracket from which it is suspended .....and away you go.Now holds the road like an F1 and takes point work and variations in baseboard in her stride.I applied the treatment to 46256 with equal success. Nice model.Thanks Rails and Hornby.More commissions,please.Are you listening Mr.K. .? Don't kick a gift horse in the teeth...Especially when it's a winning steed. By Pony truck, are you referring to the leading bogie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwich station Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Wasn't R2179 Duchess of Gloucester? Checking hornbyguide.com again, it states that R.2179 was Duchess of Hamilton in 2000, then Duchess of Gloucester in 2001. R.2179 was announced in the 2000 catalogue as Duchess of Hamilton showing a picture of the real thing (streamlined). I believe if I can remember correctly that the model changed names before it was released thus becoming R.2179 Duchess of Gloucester in the 2001 catalogue along side R.2205 City of Birmingham, also in the maroon and gold.

Brocp Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Is it my eyes or is the LMS motif on the tender too low? Otherwise stunning model Definitely too low. Still looks lovely though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) The top of the tender insignia should be slightly higher than the top of the cabside numerals. Probably too late to change, but the image on the box lid has been corrected! Edited January 6, 2018 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
