Usual reviews, comment, letters etc.

 

I was interested in the N7 article, as I was unaware of the existence of this kit.  Like an old Wills kit I have unfinished (before they became SE Finecast), it is designed to fit a Hornby 0-6-0T chassis (specifically the Railroad class 08).  Unlike the Wills kit, it contains components to model a number of different variations, including Belpaire or round-top firebox.  However there are a couple of things that don't look right to my eyes - the cab side window size and the profile of cab roof.

 

It makes me feel old to remember Yatton when it was first featured in the magazine!
