  Couple of comparison photos posted on RMWeb HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. The Accurascale model is head and shoulders above the others for detail, but the others still hold up well for their age. Photos attached here for reference but originals and proper context all available via links above.

  Thanks folks. Have occasionally thought about moving the wheels out on Shannon, but the loco is so tiny, there just isn't room.

  Wonderful stuff! Having been brought up in Essex and familiar with Chappel and the Sudbury branch as well as other local branch lines like Braintree and (former) Maldon, I think you have captured the atmosphere very well. And Shannon looks superb!

  People like to pee on the old Lima models these days, but the truth is with proper care the motor will run forever. Plus, they had better molding and detail than other models of the time. My Lima MK2's still look OK running behind my new locos.
