I know Hattons had an issue with axle boxes falling off, but it looks like IRM have an issue with axles falling off. No doubt this will be rectified before they go on sale. Maybe the two missing axles are in the box, did you check? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have skimmed through the thread and can't find the answer. What are the boxed and unboxed weights of the locos, including the special edition?
