    Couldn't resist this little beauty at the O scale Modellers Forum I attended today.

    So it's been added to the Fleet and will get some South Maitland Railway decals and a very good weathering.

    A very smooth runner comes with lots of parts to be add to the model, like lamp irons, tools, Tool boxes.etc

    Not green ? Only 2 of the 10 class were green.

    The SMR had a couple of Kitson 0-6-0 tanks that have a similar look the the Kerr Stuart Victory :thumbup:

    So if it ends up really dirty I don't think anyone will really notice the difference

    Its far too clean for moonan flats

    Does it have a sound chip? Or is that to be added later

    Looks great

    Hi Cameron
    Yes way to shiny I think even as a factory black it's too shiny a finish, very uniform though, I think the finish was done to match the original Ixion Hudswell Clark 0-6-0 as the other 2 available colours green and Red with lining are the exact same colour.

    Re sound
    Going to need DCC and sound may look at a Zimo decoder from the UK Kimbo put one in his Victory and it sounds ok.

    Very nice Chris, I nearly purchased my second one in black when in the UK at Xmas but as I had already got the red version on order with factory fitted Zimo sound decided to pass. Agree, the finish is very clean but no doubt when you have put it through the paint shop will look the biz.:thumbs:
