    More playi...! ... testing today, this time in the cool living room and no problems with points etc (unlike when in 18 degrees sunshine). So when on the roof I'll need to keep it on the shade.

    You sure that's a 14xx, thought they were a 2-4-2 tank? (Not that I'm a GWR modeller!) :cool:

    Cheers

    Well spotted (almost) Ron the image should have been of my 0 4 2 (which will be used as an autocoach) but the photo was very poor, and I forgot to alter the title. However it is a repainted 27xx and the trucks are a Triang tank wagon and I think a Bachmamn 5 plank? to assess how the wheel sets go over the points, so ...... we both get 6/10.

    Cheers Ian :facepalm:

    Better luck next time guy's....

    Got to admit tho', the 0-4-2T for such an old type wheel arrangment lasted for some time, and (and this hurts) it actually is nice if quaint looking locomotive - but don't tell anyone I said that.

    Somehow, i'd imagine black one to be rarer than rocking horse poo, as Swindon had a habit of painting black loco's green e.g. Ivatt 2-6-0's.

    There were a few black 14XX once BR was in control.
    The DJ models/hattons model has several livery options in black

    I can recommend Tamiya flat black acrylic paint thinned 50:50 with Tamiya X-20A thinner, and Tamiya's masking tape to protect the number plates.
