After the page after page on this forum about getting the correct chassis with the protypical wheel spacing for an A Class I was sure that someone of you eagle eyes readers would have spotted my latest project.

 

The chassis came in kit form from Australia and I outsourced the building of it to a friend who did his usual superb job.

The old Q Kits Metrovicks were a real diamond in the rough, but got the basics correct and could be built into a convincing model. The less said about the whitemetal version of the A the better.

 

Kieran does your loco have brass gears or rubber band final drive? I found the Bull Ant with the brass gears extremely noisey and ordered on with rubber band drive for comparison but never got round to using it.
