Without looking through any reference material - check the smoke-box doors, as they do vary.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted July 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2019 Builder's plates, Stembok was a Darlington loco and 61138 was North British so there are likely to be some small detail differences in the build. Smokebox doors as mentioned above were not all the same. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Thanks gents, but I should have made it clear that I'm talking about differences between the models, in the sense of the mechanisms, pickups or whatever, not details. Specifically, any difference that could affect the running qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be no different, in my relatively modest experience... having owned several early and later production versions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer, there is no mechanical difference. They are both the new super detailed version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidw Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It's very easy to move the coal plate. I did it on all mine 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
