Right then, the combination of me being off work, the wife at work and young Gaylord being in nursery has finally occurred and I've got round to testing/decoder fitting a backlog of stock.
I've just tested my CoT, which runs well straight out of the box. But whilst on the rollers, something struck me about the balance weights on the driving wheels. I've not seen the prototype, and I've not seen a clear picture on the web, but their positioning looks wrong.
As I type, CoT has its cranks facing the 10 o clock postition. But the balance weights, instead of being at the expected 4 o'clock position, are at eight o' clock on the leading axle, and 6 o'clock on the trailing one.
Is this right ? I could, of course, be talking cock, and am more than willing to be correcteted
