Some time ago, I bought a Graham Farish Merchant Navy body and tender that someone had married to a Tri-ang Princess loco and tender chassis!
I have now utilised a modified Hornby Dublo West Country chassis, with an XO4 type, 5-pole motor. The tender chassis is a new Hornby product that fits beautifully.
The unit is very quiet in operation and smooth.
It has been in the paint shop and now sports B.R. green livery, nameplates yet to be attached.
As a model, it may not be entirely to scale but it looks far better than the Wrenn offering.
On another point, I recently purchased a King. A friend pointed out to me that the name does not match the cast number on the cab side. Is this usual?
