I have just finally obtained the current Bachmann version of the J72, a lovely Loco with superb slow running. I have dusted/weathered over the Red painted coupling rods and painted the silver areas which has broken up the Red painted area on the Rods nicely. Crewed and real coal added to the Bunker . Bachmann had fitted a awful gloss black "Coal" casting it was easily removed. Fire irons added and a Lamp.
Lovely Mick. Always nice to see some true LNER modelling at a high standard, in physical form, brought about by use of painstakingly acquired manual skills.

I also bought a LNER Steel Container from him . This was exactly the same as the one built and shown earlier supplied by Carlisle Citadel. Sadly the ends of the sides have developed curves on the bottom corners. No response from 247 as to him replacing the faulty item . I wont be going back for anymore from him !!.
