Your has the hole in the cab roof for possibly filling the gas? Mine doesnt but I noticed that Alans did in his video as did the one in Chris's video. I just take the tank out each time, although it would be nice to buy a
tender and somehow keep the gas tank in it. I guess I should give that some thought.
Although not really to scale, mist tell me they are SM32 narrow gauge.
I am sure that you willl enjoy it, mine is a lot of fun,
I still say the best buy for the money out there.

Can you get a filling adapter long enough to reach the tank through the roof though?

:Midland Railways Gauge 1

I find it a great adition to my Stock!, It is built to fit behind any
of my Loco`s, It is fitted with armoured Pipe!.

Regards,
John.
