Does anyone have any knowledge of the valve gear on an A3, as modelled by Hornby?
Surely the stub crank (I think that what it's called) is too low- being lower than the axle. I've looked at numerous photos (and compared it to a model A1 and A4) and it appears that the Hornby interpretation is not quite correct- What do others think?
On another note- although an excellent model- doesn't the obvious seam line on the boiler reduce its standard significantly? (perhaps even render it somewhat toyish, albeit there is some very fine detail)
I'd be interested in what other modeller's think. Thanks
