That looks fab Lad. 

Are the Coaches Squeeking?

No my Silver Fox van at the back is squeeking.

I received my Park Royals this morning. They look amazing, but I think I can see what's been causing derailments for others.

One of the brake lines on one end droops down and fouls the flange of one of the wheels:

This is a lot easier to see on the green coaches with the grey brake lines. The video shows the worst affected of my PRs, but all of them seem to have some level of contact with the wheel. This only happens at the end where the two lines cross over, the other end has enough clearance.

I have not actually experienced any derailments, but I could see this causing problems especially in combination with some iffy track.

I will be regauging mine so the wheels will be moved out, well away of these lines. But otherwise I reckon a drop of glue to stick the brake line to the underside of the floor might be the best solution.

My little take on the Park Royals.  Really well executed model.
