    Certainly an impressive round house scene though! But tsk tsk, one loco is missing a headboard!! ;)

    Well as i have to leave feedback for my christmas present my new B12 has to stay out until i run it, so i took a few snaps of her before she gets tested and put away. :wink:

    She is seen alongside two Bulleid Merchant Navy loco's, 35005 "Canadian Pacific" in BR Blue and 35028 "Clan Line" in BR green. I should have got my blue A3 and Princess out for a nice BR blue line up. :p

    Mine wasnt the set, i got this one on it's own for about £30 on ebay, not a bad buy really, the body has "Hornby Railways" on so i think it's just an improved one. I was suprised to see the tender has the little grinder thing in still to make steam loco noises!

    That's gone down in folklore that has, I remember when they first moved to China, the mag reports said they'd sent a B12 out to China with the order 'copy this'. So they did

    I think ( I haven't had my B12 out in years) it was a cam on one of the tender axles that had some kind of sand paper on it that rubbed against another piece making some sort of chuff noise

    Its only a bit of plastic and sandpaper on a very light weighted tender... loco's performance isn't affected, the original Hornby Railways B12 [which i have in LNER green] does the same.
