My fathers email is what he thought the wheels size were, he was obviously mistaken. Now everyone has the correct information. Our apologies for the misinformation and confusion. So now that’s the wheels sorted, can you comment on whether the orientation of the release handles on the ends has been corrected? John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndon Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I've had an email from KR Models confirming that the end release handles are now both facing towards the same side of the wagon (i.e. facing left at one end and right at the other).

johndon Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Hats off to KR for listening, the end release handles are both the right way round and the vacuum pipes are now the correct way up. A couple of the bits are still a bit 'chunky' and the vertical part that the handles pass through on the ends should be open rather than solid but, overall, they look good. Hoping to get to see some of them in real life later this week. Edited March 14, 2022 by johndon 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that some of the packs of wagons have the totem and others don’t as it disappeared from the wagons after a few years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
