Thank you Tomtom, I was not certainly having a go. Jennie looks an ace little engine and something unique in the RH stable. When lined out [I have seen Tallyho green, BR Black, maroon and straw] they look stunning. Whoever buys one will be proud owners indeed.
As for Accucraft, it's a coin toss. Yes they may have detailed gear but they're Chinese built and they don't supply spares like RH do. Unless this policy has changed?

Re: Roundhouse Jennie
I am decidedly tempted by one for the 32mm side of my operations, especially if the boys in Donny would humour a request for red frames. It is the first thing of Roundhouse's for a while that I have been seriously tempted by that was not a tram engine. One thing that counts very heavily in its favour is that it looks like a NG tender locomotive. Little 0-4-2s were not uncommon at the end of the 19th century, so one could easily see it with a lamp, and a few other bits and pieces doing its bit for the Queen and Empire in some colonial backwater railway system, or somewhere in Britain's extensive export markets. Jennie without a tender could be adapted into a nice little well tank. Nice little model all around.

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Excuse me, where did I say you are a rivet counter and you said “it looked cobbled together"…..dougrail wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:45 amI've spoken some reservations about the cab height, but I do not for one moment believe it looks "cobbled together". It's still a good looking engine and as I have stated, it will run like a charm being RH Basic chassis. I was very nearly tempted by one myself to be fair [not seen one in blue yet].
Please get your facts right before mis-quoting what I have said or put.
