Received number 246 today. Lucky really that my dad was in. Very stunning and excellent model. Short clip available here. https://www.instagram.com/p/BDTyZeYpAFm/ Hopefully it plays ok.

Looking at the model there are two things which have stood out to me as being notably off, one being the bright copper pickups, the other being the colour of the cab, for a as built loco. they have notably taken the colour from the real loco as preserved which is the wrong cab colour anyway! http://alexgroverail.fotopic.net/p20318564.html the picture here is the colour the loco should be! I know the owners of those locos and aware that they in depth checked the BR spec before painting there engines. And the cab colour has 3 different specs with the suppliers all slightly different shades.

My model railway is having a good two days (shame about my bank balance!) City of Truro arriving yesterday and thanks to Trains4U I have Tornado beside me at my desk ready for when i get home!

Just too pick you up on something, there are some sections of the East Coast Mainline which the Mk4 sets with 91's operate upto 140mph, not entirely sure of the sections though but there isn't that many.
