Hi, Thank you for that, very useful. I remember building K's kits back in the early 70s and thinking what dogs the chassis were. Although the weight of the castings meant that one didnt't need to add any extra weight! Many thanks Frank.

Very nice job. I can remember building an old K's Terrier back, goodness knows when, thing ran like a dog! Got rid of it in the end. Frank.

My pleasure. Isn't Dapol meant to be producing an O2 Tank soon? Read it in British Railway Modelling I think, have to hide it from the wife as she will have a fit if I order anything else! Frank

This is a nice addition to the layout. What make is the 14xx? Looks to be a K's. Frank.

A few years back when I lived near Otterham I used to go to Bodmin, changing at Wadebridge, it wasn't very often, but the usual Beattie Tank(s) were 30585 and 30587, 30586 had it's water tank feeds raised so was unable to take on water at Penhargard column. So either 85 or 87 would be suitable. The crew rosters for Bodmin North and Wenford were one crew on the shunts at Wadebridge (usually 30586), one crew for Bodmin North passenger work, (usually an O2), one crew for the Bodmin goods, (either 30585 or 30587) and one for the Wenford goods. Hope this is of some help. Frank
