Thanks

When I bought my RH Jack it was knocked about by their courier and had to be sent back for repairs as well

Wasn't fond of Karen but she's a looker in blue
A steam propelled life-style.

Where are you buying these locos from?

To be honest the box your Karen was sent in looks a bit ropey compared to what Riverdale use and that made it all in once piece from the Netherlands!

I on the other hand LOVE the Karen. What a nice engine, sorry to hear about the post damage. Hopefully it gets fixed quickly.
