 Have you tried speaking with MMM directly ? I have always found them most knowledgeable and helpful . Also , Cheddar Models were showing some lovely and reasonably priced steam plants at the recent Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition.

If all else fails , there's always the excellent Blackpool Model Boat Show next month , which will doubtless have a number of experienced steam modelers in attendance , many of whom  I've found to be extremely helpful in the past .

Hi All
Sadly missed Lomex however, did manage a trip up to Lincoln Tues to MMM where I got answers, took along a Cheddar Puffin plant and also a Cheddar Plover plant, both will fit so now just need to make up mind which to use.
Made very welcome at MMM by Ann and immediately offered a cup and tea and biscuit, now how's that for customer relations.


Rosegarth ordered and expect delivery in around 28 days, worth the wait I think.
