The original CAD drawings we had done for the HC were of Easingwold No.2. However, we subsequently obtained lots more photos from a marvellous gentleman (thanks, Martin) which showed very few of the photographed models had the 'rivets all over and sandboxes above the running plate' appearance of Easingwold No.2. So we bit the bullet and had the loco redrawn to match the 1920s/30s style which you now see. The wheels altered too, so it sounds like one of the old images has snuck into the instructions, which would be entirely my fault.
And thanks Matloughe for a fantastic review. It gives us a genuine thrill to know that something we have made gives other modellers pleasure.
