KandNWL, interesting to see the differences between one of the originals and one of the rebuilds! Apart from the lining, how much modding has yours had?
Mine is one of the last in the first batch and is no.40, I also know where no.39 and no.41 are going too, lets see how many we can pinpoint! The remaining 10 of the first batch can't be far off and the other 50 will be built next year.

Concerning my Stanley, the only mods that it has suffered were after it attempted a "leap of death" and got somewhat bent. That was only really sorted out at last year´s service visit, when the skirts were also repainted from black to grey.Dannypenguin:105929 wrote:KandNWL, interesting to see the differences between one of the originals and one of the rebuilds!

Ah right Just steamed mine and luckily she didn't try the same 'leap of death'
Few things to note for those who haven't got theirs yet:
- R/C Batteries: Batteries are eaiser to access than on older models, there's a tab underneath thats removed to gain access, no need to remove the body anymore!
- Lubrication: Lubrication of the motion is pretty hard, I'm now using a syringe to oil at as getting to some parts of the motion (mainly the reverser) is a right pain. Mind you, being a tram I was expecting that.
- Cab roof: this is one to watch, it was VERY stiff out of the box so could only slide it back to fold over when pulled hard. Oil it before use (and I found loosening the nuts slightly helped) otherwise there is the risk of damage.
Thats all for now!
