rogerdee Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hi I'm interested in getting one of these when they arrive, what's people's opinions of them?. I had a B17 before and it was a pile of junk so I don't want to be stung again by buying a dud. Thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgibbons Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Superb model but flawed bogie design that is prone to derailment and chewing up the delicate valve gear. Hopefully they will have fixed this for the new batch. Edited April 4, 2021 by dpgibbons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gedlee Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Brilliant model and runs beautifully. I had a problem with the front bogie as well. I unscrewed it, inserted a thin washer, screwed it back on and had no further problems. I have another on order. cheers, Ged. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned the lesson that you must always return an unsatisfactory model to the retailer rather than trying to sort it out yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted April 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2021 Might be worth having a read through the original thread about this loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
