First attempt at an 009 loco. Kato chassis plus body from a well known auction site.

Nice job. Did you add any weight?

Lead added under both bonnets plus white metal crew. Makes run better.

Excellent start. Maybe the B&W could do with something like that....?!

Just as a matter of interest, is that body one of mine ( comes in a brown colour) or one of the copies off ebay ( come painted gray) - It's not a problem - I released the design for anybody to use freely - but I'd like to know what the quality of the copies is like, as I've not seen one in the flesh.

A grey one off e-bay i'm afraid. Needed some work to fit the chassis andthemoulding is a bit rough. Suspect filler primer was used tocover some of the undulations.
