Model Railway Forum

Thanks Steve - With regards the 2MT the front mounting screw was loose in the box - big decision - should I send it back (see RMweb - or better still don't) - now back where it should be - took seconds. I might have a look inside the loco to see whether the speaker will fit in the smokebox - just sounds a little better with the sound coming from the front of the loco. The railway room is a little cluttered at the moment, what with people being painted, and I have been releasing people from the sprue(?) on those that you gave me, plus I chopped off a hand on one of the seated people I have the hand, but trying to see it while re-attaching it is not easy. I did lose another hand, I heard it go past my ear, so somewhere on my layout is a hand

I have any number of legless and armless figures in my coaches - can’t see them if you run at full speed.
At a guess that will have been the fat bloke leaning forward?
It will be interesting to see what’s hidden in the front end - it’s such a small loco I suspect space will be very restricted.
I’m surprised you didn’t send it back with a compensation claim for emotional support after finding that you had to use your own screwdriver. Mine was missing the cylinder steam cocks on one side (loose in the box) - I clicked it back in then went for a lie down in a darkened room to recover.

It was the fat bloke leaning forward - should I send it back for a replacement (person not hand)?

Better not - I don’t handle rejection very well.
I could refine the file to extend the middle finger on any reprints.

Crew almost ready for duty - although they appear to have the slight sheen that Steve experienced - I used the same matting agent that Steve used - a bit more experimenting required

Very nice!

I’d be more that happy with those.

More figures awaiting paint - these should make up a good cameo?

You will need to post a picture of what the photograph that the photographer is taking would have been once you have painted them!

Good grief, they are naked!
Nice little setting though
