Hello All Finally managed to get an example of the Hornby Peckett after a long wait. I got hold of the latest model R3550A, in black. The model is not quite finished yet as it needs nameplates and one or two final refinements, but here's a picture of the model as it stands now. This is the first attempt at modifying a RTR model so I'm hoping that you guys may be able to offer some comments for future reference if I have the inkling to repeat the exercise. I would have altered the position of the steam dome but I cannot find a suitable replacement that is the same as the prototype. Any ideas? I have added a picture of the prototype (Lady Angela) for comparison.
