Beautiful machine!

My good friend's late father would have enjoyed this, he was offered a job in Britain in civil flying after years on Lancasters 1943-45, but chose instead to come back to NZ and start a family.
Cheers,

Having really only just discvered your blog, I am very pleased.. I too have bought many Hornby and Bachmann 00 BR steam locos since 2004 and have had a similar mix of new and s/h., and can concur with your opinion that it's a bit of a lottery with assembly and running qualities, both Brands having a share of 'errors' or faults, mostly however, like you I just enjoy the models. I would guess that from 100 models maybe half have some fault or other, about 10 have serious faults which can usually be repaired, and 2 or 3 need to be returned to retailer. I think given the prices and margins this is to be expected.
I do wish the A1/A2 class by Bachmann didn't droop at the cab! Not an easy easy fix, that one... I just photoshop most errors like that!

I am so so relieved to hear that we are not the only ones to have exerienced difficulties with the BP... and thankyou so much for the clear photos and excellent analysis. We have a few minor delairment issues too... probably due to back-to-backs on Peco code 100 set track and points. We sueezed a couple of wheelsets and now running seems perfect.
Thanks again.

All I can say about that latest 2P photo is wow! Superb!
I love the LMS 4-6-2 photos too, always liked them in wartime black.
Brilliant stuff.
