I've been tossing up whether to get Hornby's Patriot and Bachmann's Royal Scot classes . I've heard that these earlier models aren't all that good. Anybody got one or other that can comment on them or should I buy kit loco?

G'day Double, How anout the Tower Models kit or the Wills fine cast kit. Good, no good? or does nobody build kits anymore?

I have a three tender drive Brittania's and a 9F that I fitted Lenz 1035 decoders to. They run okay although the gear noise is noticable at speed. I've been thinking of modifiying a "Brit" to take a NWSL gearbox and an 1833 Mashima when I can get the time!

I also modified the tender and fited a sound only decoder there runs OK.
Your alternative is the comet chassis.
