Farish bargain nightmare!

Things go in circles. The Jubilee I bought earlier this year (Farish's latest offering) is 45596 Bahamas with double chimney in green + late crest. Beautiful looker and runner

Thanks for that! It will definitely go on my shopping list, though I am hankering after a prototype Deltic first and am eagerly anticipating the Blue Midland Pullman set.

Something else I've noticed with this loco is a faint thumping as it goes around my railway. I had a closer look to determine where this could be coming from and it seems that the loco wheels have some rough spots on the treads. It really seems to have been a rough loco all round and not something I have seen from recent Farish at all before. I'm not sure when this particular model came out, but it is not from the earliest batch as it has the new style box and the extra screw on the keeper plate for the bogie. (the earlier ones didn't have this and also if you fitted the bogie with larger wheels they caught on the back of the brakes for the drivers)
