mullie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Q1 for me, only wish I'd built that k's kit with its silly plastic centred wheels and motor that didn't work. Why would that be a problem for a 16 year old who had never built a kit before? Martyn 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Rule 57(b) (ii) applies here as amended by the Gilbert motion contained in appendix B2 of the rule book. So my vote goes to the Standard Class 4 tank, a great, looking loco that must rank amongst the top five go-almost- anywhere, do-almost- anything engines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know about things designed in the land the wrong side of the Humber.
