>>1657234Christ, I didn't even realise the silver thing on the firebox was an axle, what a fucking joke, they'll charge £150+ for this as well without fixing any of the issues still left with the old run.
and while we're bashing it:
>centre driving wheels are 'solid' plastic>con rods and running gear so chemically blackened they look painted>massive gap between running plate and boiler and firebox>running plate is fucking bent in the promo image>shade of green is too light, like the early release minitrix 9f's from the 1970's>STILL using that godawful tender driveshaft mechanism despite being a cunt to maintainThat last one is especially bad, the new Farish models hide their motor in the boiler, driving the wheels through a gearbox hidden in the firebox. With the amount of space to play with a in a fucking 9f they could have easily done that here, and not only would you be able to have some cab detail again, but it would shift some more weight back into the loco where it might actually have some pulling power instead of being absolutely shit on by a nearly 50 year old model
