Very interested in the Javelin, which is high on my 'would like but not available list' and the ETR is a stunning train
Just one Pendolino, give it to me, a beautiful train, from Italy

It is with a great sense of satisfaction that I post these pictures after installing (almost) all of the detail parts that come in the box on these Fox Valley GP60M and GP60B.
It takes alt on patients and time as well as several #78 and 80 drill bits but the results are great.
I also got all the decoders in and have broken them in in both directions for a couple hours. PS when you remove the shell BE SURE to give them a quick lube on the motor ends as well as worm gear ends.
Here are the pictures.

Love the locos Mike

I have recently bought some of the Fox Valley models and must say I am extremely impressed by the quality in finish and the smoothness in running. Have yet to fit decoders to my latest two so not able to run properly yet.

Class 22 6320 with DCC decoder fitted on pre-order from Hattons.  Dapol/Joel told me at TINGS that they were waiting for the decoders.  I live in hope!  :(

You will not be disappointed in that one as one of our guys has one and is a great puller and runs well so far.
