Albie the plumber

If you look through the previous couple of pages , you'll see the reaction is overwhelmingly positive . Unlike the PWMs , the class 11 have lights , have no body fit issues and run as sweet as a nut . Obviously made in a different factory

You would think that someone like Exteme etchings would do an etch for that . Anyone doing a Blue ,pre TOPS class 25 like me , will always have the smooth front end to deal with not to mention removing those blooming dominoes.

Sounds like a ZIMO / Digitrains project . Could be wrong though .

I'm assuming you have an 8 pin version ? The later 21 pin version simply plugged straight in to the PCB above the worm drive . There is room between front of motor and rear of grille but beware of the protruding motor shaft at the front which spins of course. Fashioning a plasticard shield between decoder and motor shaft would be a wise move .

Tubby Brush alert ⚠️ 😁

Certainly looks good from that angle 👍

The video highlighted the raggedness between the Blue and Yellow . He wasn't kidding was he .

What are the odds that they one day make an 'improved ' version in a couple of years as they did with the '33 ?

Indeed it was Roy , but we both plumped for one when the price came down to what we deemed to be acceptable . Some of the errors highlighted with Heljans 47 may well be 'overlooked' when the price comes down as it inevitably will .

I think light bleed through the blinds was quite common so it could be described by some aa prototypical.

Or put another way , accuracy is in the eye of the beholder. Same thing to me . We're discussing semantics now . Gone off topic .

I would imagine you will get a shed load of replies on this subject. I use Krystal Klear when i use lazerglaze but I'm sure Liquid glaze will do the job . While Lazerglaze is a great product . it does IMO need a little practice to do well . HTH

I didn't 😁

Accuracy, like beauty , is all in the eye of the beholder

Not to mention track that is too narrow {00} and train set curves
