It's a stunner in this livery especially. Superb runner straight from the box. Hornby have designed it specifically with their HM7K decoders in mind - prefitted speaker, 21 pin decoder and space for a stay alive. The sound profile is one of the best they have done and has the obligatory coal shovelling sound programmed to also trigger the flickering firebox light. And all that in a small tank engine.

I should have used a calculator to do the scaling of this body shell.
Turned out nice though

Re: WEST ORTON
That looks nice. Is it an 08 chassis under there or something else?
Budget modelling in 0-16.5...

It's a one-off oil fired shunter for a bit of fun. Nameplates and numbers commissioned from Railtech - no.42 'Sorcerer'.
