Conveniently I happen to be filming a video on these today so was able to take a quick snap for you...

I've noticed the issue in assorted videos but, having seen your photo, I can't quite get my head around what's happening there.  The rooflines seem way out, but some of the other bits not so much?

I had a similar experience with my Dapol N gauge example, was initially put off somewhat by seeing some obvious wrong 'uns but when I finally got one mine was actually spot on!

I was somewhat puzzled as to where one might place a fifth headlamp without replacing the 5MT with a Southern loco....🤔

Spot welded to the tender rear, it would seem😉

I remember a visit to Didcot, whilst waiting for my wife who had gone to the toilet, by pacing a few steps I could see 14 locos around the yard and peeping out of the shed - and none of them were the same colour.

Perhaps change her diet? 😇

Saw this staircase today, no idea why though.

You may have had your eyes open and your head pointing that way.

On a more sensible note, that's probably where some posh lass stands when naming the boats👍

I understand the crew have spoken already to their union representative asking to be relocated as they argue that why are we here as this model doesn't function so doesn't technically need a crew?

Therefore all they are required to do is stand there and look useful! They might as well be a static model themselves?

Do the other panniers move, then?  I thought GWR branches were entirely pheasant-safe and didn't indulge in that dreadful modern trend of rushing around and going off somewhere else? 😇

And here's me thinking "that's a bit modern". 🤔

That was my first thought, too.  But it was May 2000, 24 vanished years ago, when I made the effort to catch their fleeting appearance on the overnight mails at Bristol TM.  I hadn't even got a digital camera back then! 😳

things like blue 08s sold out in TT120 and no reissue so far . 

Indeed, it's been dropped from the latest edition of the catalogue.  Pretty much the only thing you can run alongside the blue/grey HST is another blue/grey HST 🙄
