Stunning Model

I missed out on the first run of this model so made sure I didn't this time. The improvements made to chains etc have made this model even better than the previous batch, absolutely stunning

Heavyweight champion

A fabulous model, but sadly I lost one of the corner steps today. Took me over an hour to find it in the carpet, before it ended up somewhere inside the model 😳
Oh well, at least I know where it is - for now😁

Stand out model!!!!

Model takes centre stage on the layout. Running is super smooth and quiet. Looking forward to giving it a load test soon.
