Will the back of the cab open?

Well the buses have been there for the past twenty years, the railway hasn't. These facts were known when the railway made the 'Wareham' decision.

Sorry to hear and all the best for full recovery!

The test will come when the Prairie arrives!

My home town station had a crossover between the platforms and a cut-out on one side to give clearance for the cylinder. Still there afaik.

Dinmore arrived today and it is a really stunning model - thank you Accurascale. I think the matt of the smokebox contrasts even more on the black loco than the green. This is my third Manor and first to arrive with coal moulding not fitted.

Plenty of parking in Swanage.

I bought decoder and 'extra base' speaker from Road and Rails. Sounds fine. Have a look on R&R website and under Class 33 you will see what is recommended. On a previous Class 33 I used the fuel tank for a speaker without any kit parts, just drilled some holes in bottom. That works fine too!

Mines fine. I don't understand pulling it apart trying to fix some obscure 'fault' - if it dosn't work send it back and help the manufacturer understand any issues.

Impressive! Now we can all check the forthcoming Rapido 'B' Set😀!

Also on 8th October. Booking available here https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/events/view/563-returns-to-steam

Looks superb! Is it my eyes, or does the colour emphasise the detail even more than the black versions?

Being in same camp as you with only minor/minor blemishes on 'my' two that you need magnifying specs to spot, I console myself that, as often the case, we hear about the problems but not the versions that are fine.

From said session
