No probs John H-T, there are longer reviews out there, but we try to cap ours at 15 mins maximum. Thanks for watching either way.

As far as I'm aware Hornby are supplying the correct 10 spoke bogie wheels, or at least that is what I've read up in BRM Magazine, so they are available if you call them up. But it still a bad flaw from Hornby. Also I can't agree enough on the cab grab handles being moulded, and also no builders plate on the tender of Glastonbury Abbey. Other than them flaws its an exellent model.
