Peter, now that I seen yours I'll have to get one. It'll look a bit odd among my BR locos but I'll come up with a real good excuse like "it's my railway I'll rin what i want"
I wonder how my Allegheny is going to look or my Texas.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>sorry folks but the Whyte numbering system does not diferentiate between seperate cartazzi trucks but rather simply lists the nimber of trailing axels and so the W1 was a 4-6-4 hudson/baltic. in order for it to be a 4-6-2-2 the first of the trailing axels would have had to be powered and it isnt.
"With these kits I see it is necessary to purchase a motor pack. Is this all that required, or would I also need to purchase wheels, tender kit, couplings, detailing etc..? "
my model is about 1/2 complete
i got a hefty O gauge motor from branchlines. the SEF W1 has a shed load of space for the motor and i have got a huge mashima and a chunky flywheel!
the tender kit comes with the loco although i found this to be the part of the model that required the most fettling it still came together satisfactorialy.
SEF also do a wheel pack that has all the correct wheels. they are markits. and are the correct LNER pattern (as opposed to the older generic wheels)
i seem to recall that couplings are included but i dont think i will be using them. i prefer to fit smityhs to all the nicer loco's
if i can figure out how to post pictures then i will but for the time being you can find them here

the W1 images are near the bottom.
since that pic was taken i have fitted the motor and the tender is just about complete.
