For the price that they are offering I think it is a marvelous engine, not a marvelous model. If you want a marvelous model y...

There is the John Turner way of speed regulation. ... An Exhaust regulator. There are many John Turners in my local group and they cope with gradients very well.

The regulators on JT's beasts are mounted on the smokebox door with a wheel where the darts would be.


Just a thought....

I should probably say that this isn't "MY" line unfortunately its Dads.

I shall get together some pics of the last open day we had.

Would that be a good place to start?....

Im to slow at this replying. Thanks for the pictures, didnt realise how dark the colour was.

Hmmm thanks.

Great western Brown looks too dark to me unfortunately.

Trying to find a picture of Phurcombe hall.

Hi all,

I'm modifying my Regner Konrad "Peter Jones" it has has a side tank added and has been stripped down for repainting.

I fancy respraying it in Brown livery as PHURCOMBE HALL.

Does anyone know what paint would be close?

Kes?

Anyone else?

Best Regards
