Re: Wellington arrives at CHLR
Hi Mark, good to see this thread revived, I had forgotten about it until now. As mentioned early in the thread, the PDF 'Alice Class' kit, bought by 'Just Julie', is now built and running ( I volunteered!) and I was so impressed with the kit that I bought a 'Port Class' for myself.....
It is true that lots of preparation work is required but a really good paint finish is possible. Yours looks excellent, well done!
In both kits a 12v motor was supplied and I have managed to fit eight 2600 mAh (AA size) batteries and Deltang receiver in the boilers of each. They run well and make a welcome addition to the loco fleet. It is true that lots of preparation work is required but a really good paint finish is possible. Yours looks excellent, well done!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Wellington arrives at CHLR
Thanks Peter- those two look great examples - with 12v they’ll have plenty of power to call on - yes I was very pleased as it was a few months since I’d run this one and it performed perfectly out of the box - now fancying doing the Ruby

Where did I put that uncoupler?

I'll be well pleased if my Hunslet (when postal restrictions from Switzerland let up) comes out as well as your Hunslets have.

The Leanne is very nice, or in my case 'Katherine'..
Mine runs on a small Li-Po battery as they designed the back to have space underneath to hold it. Runs quite nicely but my Hunslet certainly has more power.

Re: Wellington arrives at CHLR
I’m intrigued by the 7/8ths version of the quarry hunslet, has anyone out there seen a completed model?
