  1. Its probably worth pointing out that I supplied Richard with the 'advanced' version of the Pannier chassis. This drives on the rear axle and allows you to use an 8mm coreless motor that will appear to be the boiler of the loco, with the daylight below that real Panniers have. The builder is expected to butcher the body to achieve this, and perhaps build himself a new footplate as Julia did - sorry, I mean Missy in this parallel universe. There will also be a 'beginners' version that will drive on the middle axle as the Bachmann chassis does, and allow larger motors such as a 10mm coreless within the firebox/cab. This should require no body modifications. For the 14XX there is little alternative to the 8mm coreless. Although a 10mm version might just squeeze in if a 21:1 wormset is used instead of the 30:1.
