Cut in half I use them to clean track rather than a rubber.

Many thanks for members giving me information, maroon plates for me!
Bob Hughes

I am currently doing up some old Hornby westerns which involves renumbering etc. So can anybody tell me if the maroon plates were first or the black plates or did it vary from loco to loco. I am modelling early sixties when I used to see these on the Cambrian Coast express as they displaced the king...

As a pannier tank ignoramus which classes had Stephenson valve gear/
I could then ask for sound for a ??XX class?
Thanks
Bob Hughes

These models come with a Next-18 decoder fitting and a sugar cube speaker already in the coal bunker.
Is anybody aware of a firm doing/developing sound for this class?
TIA
Bob Hughes

I am indebted to you. Thanks for your time and trouble
Bob Hughes

I have found where the number and name plates go but if anybody could tell me where the manufacturer's plate (in this case Crewe) is fitted to I'd be very obliged.
TIA Bob Hughes

many thanks for your work on this can see the solder pads' positons.
Cheers
Bob Hughes

Wires soldered to the underside of the tender.
Just one has come adrift.
You can see the positions when you invert the loco+tender
Cheers
Bob Hughes

I'd be eternally grateful if you would.
Bob Hughes

Unfortunately one of the soldered wires to the underside of the chassis has detached. Can anybody with a working rocket post a photo/diagram of where the wires are soldered.
Service sheet HSS 451 does not show this.
Many thanks
Bob Hughes

Seems a bit daft to follow up my own post but the answer is yes there is an accessory pack mine was inadvertently left out at the retailer when the loco was tested.

If anybody has got one for Xmas I would be very grateful if they can say whether their model had an accessory pack attached, i.e. front steps, engine and tender brake rods.
Mine didn't but it has the fittings for the brake rods and the front steps are not on the model.
TIA

Gremlins getting in any rebuilt Patriot Loco chassis I have a body!
My apologies
Bob Hughes

Whoops, should have said any Patriot body!
Thanks
