    Nice looking loco but the valve gear seems very fragile; has anyone else had problems with them? I managed to get the broken crank pins out of the centre drivers but broke one of the return cranks whilst trying to drill that end of the pin out. There don't seem to be any spares available anywhere ... Think the bin beckons ... :(
