Dear Chris,
 
Got it!
 
It arrived safe and sound and looks very good. Are there separate handrails? A driver in each cab? I notice how the wheelbase is longer on the new chassis. It does look very good. I shall try it at home over the weekend and let you know how it all goes.....

It does look very good, just the right amount of weathering too...

Ever since I got 26004 I have been stunned as to how it looked. I have spent hours just looking at it sitting on the layout. It doesn't have to do anything, it just sits there looking absolutely right. Of course it does go, but I don't really care, I just like looking at it. This is probably the most realistic and accurate model of a Class 26 in any scale. I just love the cab side windows, the coal sector paint job, driver, handrails, snowploughs, correct bogie sideframes, battery boxes- Are you hiding something from us, Chris? Have you got a minituriser in your workshop somewhere?

Thanks again,
David Richards
