  1. I have been very disappointed with the garratts build quality. When the loco first arrived, it turned up with damaged valve gear and was returned immediately. The replacement was no better, looking like it had been dropped and was covered in glue marks. This morning the third arrived and upon, opening the box all looked well and the loco finally made it to the layout! Sadly after no more than than a few minuets running the valve gear on the front engine unit failed, falling off on the left hand side of the front engine unit. I have to say Hattons have been excellent with their service and replacing the loco, I'm just hoping that the fourth loco will be fine and that future Heljan steam locos do not suffer with the same poor build quality.
