<P>After 13 years into G scale, with only Bachmann locomotives and rolling stock apart from a Accucraft Goose # 2, I took the plunge and bought an Accucraft RGS C-19.</P> <P>The model is good and heavy, well detailed & runs wells but I was dissapointed to find that fitting sound and a smoke unit is not going to be an easy job. Also there are only pickups on one set of drivers plus the tender wheels and one of these were broken!.</P> <P> Anyone out there fitted a sound unit using the cam on the driver or a smoke unit to one of these ?</P> <P>Also noticed that there is no brake rodding on the loco brakes. </P> <P>Anyone else got any comments on these models ?</P> <P>A correction, today whilst fixing the defect electrical pick-up on the rar driver I found a set of pick-ups on the leading driver. (sorry Accucraft!) </P> <P>Also just to make it clear I've been into model trains since I was about 5 and that was 48 years ago !</P> <P>Garden railways are my main interest but one day my OO scale GWR/LMS layout will be started !</P> <P> </P>
