Hello Aber Halt Junction, thank you for your kind comments. The W1 is an okay model, however I am disappointed in the rear pony trucks not being modelled separately and with a swivel action which might have allowed the wheels to be flanged. As a result of my disappointment I have now cancelled my preorder for the forthcoming LNER Apple green and the double blastpipe versions. I know there is a lot of talk regarding this particular model, people seem to either love it or hate it. I do think myself lucky because I received an undamaged example and (at the moment) it seems to run okay, fingers crossed it will stay that way! I do also have the rebuild version still on preorder (BR Green) and hope that once this arrives, it doesn’t give me any headaches!

Hello Michael My W1 is fitted with a Zimo MX645R 8-pin Sound decoder with a 28mm 2watt round speaker supplied by YouChoos.
