I find nearly all Stuart Turner models are expensive unless you buy the kit of materials and machine it yourself, but saying that, their steam engines are nice.

thats a very happy little runner.  I've never seen a RC driven 16mm loco driven so smoothly.  I'd get one if I had a railway.

The new liveries are nice too.  The old Cheddar plain black Iver was a bit drab, even though you could do it up yourself.

it actually runs better than most Roundhouse locos I've seen.  Then again it could just be the drivers!

My Ivers a bit ermm uncontrollable. Then again its a prototype and has thicker cylinder faceplate things Stores extra steam when you start it, making it shoot off

Later ones were thinner
