Happily, the Drummond T-9 which Nick built for me made it through U.S. Customs without a similar maiming! ?Somewhere "en route", it did receive enough of a jolt to dislodge four of six Tender Axlebox/Spring Castings without damaging or dislodging anything else,
including Coal Load and Figures! ?Still puzzling over what might have caused such "specific" damage!

Who knows they have x-ray gear nowadays they don’t have to take anything apart, who ever did it should be taken out the back and flogged to death.

The oil pump you see in the photos of Nick’s Garratt building project is one of my etchings, just for the record too, for all that beautiful work that Nick did on the Garratt and the paintjob done professionally it got sent over to its owner in Canada
and Canadian customs got to it and tore one of the engine units basically in half.

I? think even if you got an unbuilt kit you would end up doing a lot of extra work (although you would be a lot quicker than me) but I suspect regauging one would be even more and you would effectively end up making the engines again. This link shows an excellent
build in O16.5 and using Paul's valve gear: ohn
