Um ........ I thought you'd built a model of an early steam electric vsmith :-) You're really going to have to do something about those side frames. Seriously though it is a great model and definitely appeals to the kitbasher in me. <br />Troy, the expensive cost of importing locos to New Zealand is why I'm so keen on doing extreme mods on New Bright locos. I only want to make and fit up a boiler tube pilot/cow catcher and new smoke stack on my newly arrived 2-6-2 Heritage loco and give it a repaint, - AND I'm terrified enough about making a start. Crikey, imagine if I'd purchased a Spectrum!!! <br />Those Aristo motor blocks sound interesting though, I must check them out. <br /> <br />Ralph, I had a look at one of those HLW 'Big John' locos and I was somewhat interested, BUT to my critical eye it sits too high over its power trucks and lacks the more lightweight proportions of a Dunkirk loco. The other thing is the price which is a bit terrible when converted into $NZ with the shipping cost added in. <br /> <br />Annie
