New train,

Tramp

New train!

Not very exciting for everyone else, but it is for me! it's the old James which takes a 'c' battery, I'm going to give it the same treatment as gorden, new smokebox door, I'm unsure if I should 3v it or not? It runs quite well as it is,

Great find Tramp was it Ebay?. Is this like the first generation James? Is the "C" battery housed in the tender like your Gorden? Looks like he could use a little more detailing on his boiler unless I can't see any with the washed out color. He is red isn't he? Look forward to the mod.

Nice buy! I am going to do a detailed version of this James too, I did a 2012 one and I don't like the shape very much hehe Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Yeah it was from eBay, I've fancied doing another 'steamie' for a while. Your right he is very red and without much detailing, he has the boiler side bars and boiler straps cast into it but not coloured at a all, I've orders a smokebox door, his boiler is a little smaller than gordons so I've ordered a 'class D 0-4-0' door, to be honest it seems to run quite well, and is reasonably fast (and much quiter than Gordon was although I think they have the same drive unit) i really like the shape of James, it feels more proportional than Gordon who has a squished cab, I'll post updates as I go along, thanks

It seems that the UK has a lot of sellers that sell smokebox doors and maybe other accessories. The only batch I bought came from your neck of the woods Tramp.
