Free Trade Agreement - Is never free, is not about even trade, and no one can agree what it was all for once it's signed and lopsided. I may be wrong, but I do believe there may have been just the teeniest bit of sarcasm in z4driver's post. You've posted photos of your 'UK' Plymouth before; it's interesting because it shows just how much work there is to really change the model convincingly. For starters the pilot beam is too low to just stick buffers & 3-links on it, and be done. Hasn't stopped many a UK modeller from doing just that, of course... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikjd Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Not sure this is the best place for this but, with Jordan's liking of F units and poor track i couldn't resist. An F unit hauling freight and switching in 2020. The guy has several other videos taken this year. It looks like the FP7 has been fitted with a 5-chime horn, and has a HEP unit fitted. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
