Looking even nicer Pete. Certainly a very nice loco & the detail is picking it out nicely.

Now all you need as an equally beautiful rake of penrhyn carriages to go with it.

You forgot to blacken the white servo-linkage, the Hitec sticker and its 3 wire cable. Use black permanent marker.....

Unimog : huge wheels, huge ground clearance, torque 6.5L diesel, 8 speed semi-pneumatic shifting, diff-lockes and 4WD on speed ON/OFF, propper diesel sound, 3.5 tons of cargo, 1.2m water depth, flexible chassis, 45% hill climing, onboard hydraulics, etc. etc...HGV license required though...

Not finished yet.

And I'd prefer a Land Rover 101 Forward Control, or Bedford MK or something. Although a Unimog or Pinzgauer would be awesome. Just don't like them too complicated! lol

Oh, and have I put my nameplates in the wrong place, ie too low?

Yep, a few mill higher. The top of the plate is on the edge where the bend of the tank "starts"

s'looking splendid pete.

I still think some milton cranks would make it looks much better!
(anyone els agree ??? )

Give me £25 then I may consider them Andy... There is not much difference at all!

Milton Cranks are miles better, no ugly round edge, and they are the right shape!

I'd agree, but it's not vital, maybe something to consider when you have some spare cash!

Unfortunately they are no longer available. DJB also make Hunslet cranks which, I believe, are also a straight swap for the Roundhouse items. Go to Accessories > Penrhyn Hunslet on their web site. http://www.djbengineering.co.uk/index.html

David at DJB dosnt seem to be casting much at the mo. The cheapests solution is to get the file out! wont take two minutes to take the rounded edges off.
I may do mine at some point....maybe

I'm not fussed at all, I think they look fine. It's a Roundhouse Linda, therefore not a correct scale model... So I'm not fitting any. If they were less than say £15 I'd consider it but not for that price. I am from Yorkshire - deep pockets.
