Up to date set of pictures of my latest loco models, all 3 from Rails of Sheffield and needed some sort of attention as sold as spares or repairs. All our now static and used for just pictures which easily sorted the small Bachmann Prairies but the large Hornby Prairies had major problems with broken motion gears on one side (which had already been repaired but broken again). I was able to swop over the cylinders and motion rods from my older model one already in odds and ends box, through not quite right but doesn't look to out of place and being static it will put no undue pressure on this new arrangement. After taking these pictures I have decided I do need to get some brass cab side plates as there is no relief to them so they look flat........which of course they are as they are painted on!!!
