Mine arrived this morning minutes before i left to attend the Churnet Valley's gala! However iv now had it out the box on my return.
The model is very good, except mine does seem to have a bit of a gap between the bottom of the cab and the frames. Someone mentioned the lights earlier, i dont own one but im afraid it looks alot like the clayton! Its one bright light in the centre of the headcode box, but as i said i dont have a 17 so it may not be quite as bright. I was impressed by the head and tail lights though.
I think the pickups are going to be a big problem area for this model. Not the look of them, the way they contribute to the running of the model. Mine had trouble initially, it has a strange amount of sidewards play with the wheelsets which the pickups dont keep to. Problem was solved by tapping the loco sideways but i dont wish to do this everytime it runs so will have to get it to a proper layout for some running in!!
