1. Yeovil Pen Mill in EM - curves of varying radius

... by hacking about an old Mainline(?) plastic body. I used a Finecast chassis in this loco with a large Maxon motor High Level gear box and Zimo chip....mouth wateringly slow and graceful. Having said all that I'm not sure they ever came down the Weymouth line? As I've decided to move out into the garden and a much larger site and move to EM these will all have to be converted. At present I'm building a 43xx in EM to see how I get on with the clearance between the crossheads and the crankpins on the leading wheels which I imagine is the biggest challenge of going closer to scale.

Best wishes John Hello John Thanks for your kind comments on the Prairie, I do agree the motion isn't right. Painting a wash would improve things but I also recall that the crosshead is a white metal casting and is a bit of a let down when compared to the rest of the chassis kit. As for the unaltered coach I only put it there as a comparison to show off! When I get to doing a job on it I shal do what you suggest and replace the bogies and undercart as well.
