WOW! Where did you get that? Is it one of those models that keep getting advertised in the mags? Looks stunning but you need some stock to go behind it!

Very nice indeed.
Your fence needs fixing.

You mean the right one of the 2 brand new ones? I said that, but it was decided that was ok compared to the replaced 2, which had almost fallen down!!
Yes it is an LH Loveless, I have since (that was Tuesday night) changed the rear coupling to the other one which drops down to reveal the hook, and the only probllem with it is the cods mouth door, that is propped with the supplied very fine allen key!
It is Laurie Loveless' favourite engine also.
it's rear wheel drive, as the middle and front axles have the middle cylinder in the way.
it is made by FM Models in South Korea, anhd comes in a might fine box, which are colour coordinated, except mines blue!

what a beauty- that low angle front shot looks pretty much real. You're a lucky chap= now get it running at a scale 100mph with a rake of matching stock!!! A wooden plinth is no place for such a machine!

He was saying at the York show, that the next project is a full 7 car coronation in Silver, and as they can make the coach roofs and sides out of one sheet of brass, they might well come out quite a lot cheeper.

Not just the fence but it looks like the grass could do with a cut as well.

One line accross was tried, but it was too wet!

Just thought I'd update.
I've had it all this time with 3ft of Flexi, so I thought I'd wire up the track, think I need some more really!

Mark.
You can get excellent headboards from Diane Carney - I have a set of numbers for my 5" loco. I do know that she does do down to O gauge.
She has a website

highly recommended.
