    It is a nice looking loco. A little bit different. The cylinder doofer shall make a bit of a challenge as well.

    Cheers

    It's actually a great start into outside motion with it being a simple piston and slide bars with no other motion or return cranks to worry about.

    Delivery service is crap ....... Still not here and I'm sure it's £12.00 for delivery as well. I'd need to check on that so to be confirmed.

    Wow that’s unusual for your post system
    Royal Mail is trying to catch up to Australia Post, It now seems to take a minimum 5 days for just about everything with out third world postage system 10+ days not uncommon now for items.

    Fingers crossed it arrives soon

    I'm not sure it's down to Royal Mail Chris. I suspect it's not in the post yet. Maybe it's time to chase it up.

    Cheers

    Still no sign ..... It did take about 3 months for my very first purchase to arrive. The second purchase was a bit better but it looks like we are going in reverse again. Shame really as it just gets my goat up and puts me off using them ........ Their loss.

    Apologies Ianvolvo ........ No harm came to my goats in the writing of this post. :thumbs:
