Oh yes, there's more! On a roll and once more into the box. Well I may as well do the whole train now I'm 75% there. This is a mixed bag, and this is what I have. As per usual it came off a club stand at not much money. There are risks involved here, but then that can be half the fun. Pluses are that the seller (and I know who) included a set of Romford wheels. The downsides are 1. It's Dapol made and 2.as far as I can ascertain at first sift through, there is a set of foot steps that have put the best foot forward and walked off.
The later is not insurmountable as the remaining set can be used as a pattern. The Dapol bit is, well, soft and Welsh. Made from recycled Coke bottles it ain't the best and most stable material. There is a little flash.... OK you win, there's a lot of flash. It's a Dapol kit.
A quick trawl through the mighty Paul Bartlett site (link in the list on your right) throws up two things: 1. none seem to have the footsteps altered or removed (Bugger) 2. all have the concrete weights added to the balconies. This is the easy mod. THB this is my happy place. Send more wagon kits for Christmas.
