Diffecult to tell for sure with the vapour wafting around but the real thing does look a little "undressed" beneath the footplate - nice photos thanks Doug.

The apparent absence of the gaurd irons on the model would explain some of the emptiness.

Well, nice model but I do not like the front end, I picked up on the coupler straight away.
As for the noise of a "D", well having both fired and driven these locos, the noise I can hear now, when they are at work with a train behind them, the noise is two LOUD beats and two softer beats and did you know that a Super "D" was prone to "running" away when moving around either a yard or a shed, the water used to build up and when you opened the regulator and closed it the loco would keep going. Many a driver shook up by them doing this.

Hi,

I have checked with Bachmann, the missing objects, i.e. the guard irons, will be supplied as a separate photo-etch part for fixing by the purchaser.

Cheers,

Hugh

Well that's good to know - won't this be a first - etched guard irons?
