I was just thinking that that floor's spotless - good job!

Is the cab lighting really that 'red' and no flicker?

Looks an interesting locomotive.

Wheelslip with 4 carriages, even if they were Pullmans - is traction a limiting factor?

Al.

Yes the cab light as fitted is really that red. Traction is quite poor around the bends. I was thinking of adding some liquid traction tyres on one wheel each side to improve it without compromising the pick ups.

Couple of ideas.

1 Check the back to back on the GT3 as you say traction is poor on the bends

2 Haul some unlit carriages and see how it goes. The electical (lighing) pick up on the coaches may be causing extra (high) drag

Yes got mine today as well and all I had was a bogie. The label on the cellophane packet says "GT3 Bogie Boffer(Buffer) Beam Parts"  but no Buffer beam. Am I and others missing something here ?

Yes I got exactly the same as you! A sealed polythene bag with the KR logo  and the print saying GT3 Bogie and "Boffer" beam. Still, the handrails are a relatively minor fix to the buffer beam.

Anyone still waiting for the replacement bogie for run 1. Even though I ordered it I am losing confidence that it will be forthcoming.

 

 

Same  here. No sign of it and no communication from KR Models

Thanks for posting the photos.

Tender spring clasp - just about see it? On the front bogie it is clear to see by comparison (RHS of picture below)

I for one would be grateful if Keith would offer an upgrade package (tender frame and lighting modification), for those that would like to get the 1st run corrected. I know that the front bogie / buffer beam is FOC but the upgrade offered at a reasonable price?

 

Thats the spring buckle, I've never heard it called a clasp....
