I hope we're beyond 'close enough' in RTR n gauge these days. Obviously for a conversion the expectation is  different.

When i restarted in n gauge 8? years ago---someone had listed a number of minitrix Brits renamed and numbered as Clans--i was lucky enough to get one ( £40 !!! )  . Back then i thought the clans had smaller driving wheels than the Brits.

Personally I think the difference is very noticeable, the "Clan" as a result of the smaller boiler (which in itself looks different) having a taller chimney, but as with all things it is a matter of personal opinion/choice.

That said, the Minitrix Brit is already "wrong" in so many ways that sticking a Clan name and number on it without alteration probably won't matter to some one bit which is absolutely as it should be!
