I was having a fab time until I realised one of the wheels was missing! The kit is easy to assemble & of a good detailed standard, just a shame about the missing part... I will email Dapol to see what they can do, but if it wasn't for the missing part it would have been 5 stars. EDIT: I contacted Dapol & they sent a replacement kit! Changed from 3 to 5 stars. Although now I have a kit less a wheel haha! Thinking of doing some experimental kitbasing... Review: Great little model! - Prompt delivery of a decent model! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 14 years.

As to paint instructions you will have to decide which loco number and which era you wish it to be. Search by the web for the number you wish and select that colour. **Q: can it be motorised** A: Having built this model, I would suggest that it was designed for use as a static engine only and not suitable to be motorised. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit apart from the missing wheel. *by M***Y on 14 October 2018* I brought this kit about a month ago & I've only just gotten round to building it.
