    Make that 35029 Ben and I'll be up there faster than a Merchant Navy running between Basingstoke and Woking.

    It is quite easy to do.

    Just take away the two front numbers you mentioned above, multiply them together and then put them back. Bingo!

    Much easier than getting the hacksaw out to remove that extra cylinder and turn it into an axle with a wheel either end.

    I thought 46233 was an undergrown Castle?

    We don't have any more Fish & Chips available, but we still have seats.

    35 pounds for 4+ hours of mainline steam....sounds like a bargin to me!

    Running well so far so I'm told but 47773 is tucked in behind the Castle, probably shoulden't be surprised with it being effectively a loaded test run.

    Yes, the 47 is inside - there are quite a few photographs already around, but the links aren't copying on my computer for some reason.

    *EDIT* Just as I type that, my computer lets me copy links again! Here's a video of the loaded test (not mine) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqlqASGl6lg

    Has this overhaul just been a winter extended, or a major one, her boiler ticket still up in a few years im guessing?

    Pleased to read that all went well last night, though slightly disappointed she wasn't carrying "The Flying Kipper" headboard. :)
