I recently dug a K's princess kit out of my "pile of old kits I've yet to build" box. Found the boiler casting was squashed, was going to abandon project but managed to straighten it out and make it round again by using length of copper tube now glued inside smokebox. So I thought I'd go on with it.
Anyway, I though of using Romford driving wheels instead of the K's steel tyred plastic centred ones that came with the kit (really to keep it looking consistant with other locos I've got) . However, looking at the K's wheels again, they don't look too bad. Has anyone got any experience of using K's wheels, any problems with them? I appreciate this is rather old technology!
