Thanks David, any photos by David Nicholson will be very helpful. Re the ?loco‘s ?balance, David N did kindly supply me with an upgrade kit which included a cast resin cab roof which should do the trick.?

Dave tells me it's 30 years since he made his, but he's going to dig it out and photograph it for us.
There is an issue with balance: the model needs a little more weight up for'ard and a little less at the rear. He replaced the white metal cab roof with wood and added some ballast in the smokebox IIRC (I'll check).

?In response to Tony’s query, the L&B Models coach kits had resin bodies (Slaters use plastic). No idea how they make up - mine are still in the “to do” drawer!
And thanks to David and Brian for their ideas on “Lyn”.

Seeing the name of David Nicholson in this thread reminded me of a question I wanted to ask. Was the L&B Models coach plastic or resin?

Many thanks
