The last of my recent Gresley purchases from ACE for the moment. That will be the tax rebate blown then. Photos on arrival. Cheers for now. Toto
Which one did you get - Cock O The North or Earl Marischal? I must confess that although I want a P2 I would probably go for the P1 initially.
and the photo's ..... out of the box ..... and the pre-rolled boiler, firebox, castings and brass rod .... and the first of the brass etches ....... and the rest ..... and the chassis etches ....... and that is your whack ........ not so much in the way of bent etches on this model which is great as it is a nice loco to have. cheers toto
"Cock o the North" is that not the opening line of your CV Another nice looking Loco Toto, you'll need another tax rebate for the wheels and motor. I prefer them in this guise than the rebuilt 4-6-2. P2 rules OK Paul
I have one of these, when i opened the box it seemed that for a large engine, not a lot of etches or bags of castings, say when compared to a david andrews A1 for example, that said i was missing an etch for the coal space! Having made a start the same old issues occur tender chassis is flimsy and needs beefing up, I've decided to replace some of the casting with ragstone ones. Picture to follow.. I was planning to do 2007 prince of wales in br blue! Totally fictitious but i imagine would look good..
