    There is what looks like a 6 wheeled brake van in maroon followed by an assortment of four coaches in SR green. These are clearly not a set. The van could be this LNER van that was still around in 1964, although there might be a ducket on the film van.

    one way to stop track limits would be if any wheel go's outside of the line its a drive throw the pits 

    this would stop it over night as it would cost to much time

    If you want 'inside' information on the Britannia Bridge, I'm your man! The very first job I did for BR (on the FIRST day I was there!) was to help load testing the Bridge in Sept. 1969, and then re-testing it after the fire in 1970. I was ON it when the rivets failed on the south tube on the Monday, VERY Scary!

    Yes please!  I was very pleased with my Pigeon Van, and this is too cheap to refuse.  I am developing a fondness for rigid framed NPCCS, and a 6 wheeler will be a departure, and perhaps something of a challenge to get to run reliably on Cwmdimbath's curves.  1946-9 production is right in my time frame!

    The kit build as a 4 wheeler the centre wheel is a dummy with flats to clear the track

    Whilst agreeing with you in general, I have to say not for the LNWR in South Wales, which is what Brian's cameo represents. There, the 28 ft 4-wheelers dominated, so I think he should regard his Hornby 6-wheelers as placeholders until the Hattons carriages arrive; those in turn being placeholders until he gets round to building the LRM kits!

    The LNWR coaches I have will not be be used on the layout shown Blaendulais is also set in WW2

    Does that price really include the smokebox numbers as your website appears to suggest? I ask because Fox's price for the shed code plates (£2.30) is similar to yours (£2.20) while the price difference for the numbers is quite large in comparison (Fox is £9.30). For those who (like me) are after shed code and number plates (including smokebox numbers) I think Railtec would be the cheapest option if they offered an equivalent product but they don't at present - I've sent them a PM asking if they are likely to introduce one in the near future.

    yes they come with smoke box Numbers

    There is one other matter, though, which I hope either Chris Leigh or Andy from Rapido can address.

     

    Is the reason for the front tension lock coupling housing being set so far forward connected with the fact that the drive is on the leading axle? The gap between the loco and any wagons or coaches is, quite simply, absurdly large for a modern, 2021 RTR loco. Several folk have cleverly adapted couplings to get round this, but why should they have to do this?

     

    Following on from that, why is the drive on the front axle? This is the first steam outline model that I've ever seen this on. My suspicion is that it is like this, simply in order to leave space for the firebox 'glow' in the cab, is that the case, please?

     

    to get around the long coupling i did this to mine
