Specs for my Dad's (somehow unsold) one went in yesterday, apparently they're being sprayed right now.

as soon as it comes I'll get a picture for y'all though

I like the Victorian smoke box. Looks like it would be better running cab first on very tight bends due to the rear overhang. I should think tight bends won't slow it though. Lovely loco with different lines. Very exciting to have one on order, so thanks for sharing the fun.

Some close pictures from when the prototype came to Dads line on test.

WoW real shots! Do you know what bend radius it will handle?

Its not mine, its just not sold through my Dad's shop, which is unusual for a new model

however it is a lovely loco though!

Ok so I have some more images for those who want them, my Dad's stock arrived yesterday so I spent this morning photographing it (and a lovely Little John just like mine!) for the website.

This model is Crimson lake.

Overall view

Rear view

Topside view

The underside

Anyone who wants any more images let me know as its still out!

The Roundhouse website suggests a minimum 2' 6" radius.

Cor what a treat! What is the box between the running gear and the rear pony truck/bogie. It has 2 brass screws undershot.

I really want one of these, but, I'd have to sell Tom Rolt to fun it. Hmm! The running working slip eccentric gear looks just like Charles. What should I do?

Do let us know running times bend radius handling etc. thanks for the shots. I shorted the computer drooling!

Its deifnatley grown on me since it was announced, alot! If your looking at getting one, I definatly suggest using Derails, great people to deal with and willing to answer any questions! (No connection just a happy customer when buying my Karen)

I' not sure what that box is, and she's back in her box now so until its out next time I won't know! I'm afraid I'll never run it, its in then stock room now, however much I'd love to give it a secret steam

No problem, my pleasure

Do you think the box might be for R/C receiver & bateries?

Could be R/C receiver, the batteries are held under the cab roof.

I'll see if I can get it back out later

It might have RC gubbins in, buts also a representation of a ash pan isn't it?
The Karen is getting on fine
