RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted July 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2018 Opened it up, very nice Box is a bit squashed in places but I'm not planning on sitting on it for 30 years and sticking it on ebay One query - am I supposed to be able to see daylight between the top of the underframe and the bottom of the body?

Unless the body is loose and you're referring to something else, the answer is yes.

Hmm oh yes. However I think the body is ever so slightly up at one end only. Not sure it's enough to worry about though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense? The ducket is down - it's the section to the left that is raised a little bit (which also means there's a small gap above the ducket section?)

Carefully give the section above the ducket a gental squeeze down against the chassis as that should make it sit down properly. You may need to gently squeeze the coach side in so it locates properly at the same time., Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 ... Internal lighting is very good. fullsizeoutput_17d2.jpeg fullsizeoutput_17d0.jpeg fullsizeoutput_17d1.jpeg I pretty much hate all internal lighting that has been added to RTR until now - it's always way too bright and white. But this... now this looks very good ndeed. That lovely warm - but low-wattage - yellow glow from the naked bulbs. I haven't ordered one of these, them not being seen much on the M&GN or GER branchlines, but I have to say I'm now tempted. Oooh. Very pretty.

coachmann Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Interesting (to me at any rate) that Andy's image is larger than life and the dot printing of the grain is not visible. That makes it the best grained finish I have ever seen on a RTR product. What we could do with now are more grained teak coaches, but i suspect the printing alone is rather expensive and would make a Gresley corridor coach more expensive than most folk are prepared to pay.
