Brilliant job on the Junior as usual.  Geez MM, and I thought James and Mooseman were the bargain getters.  Interesting about the false SV, they also had false whistles on some of the model 1500 twins and I have one.

My boxed 1550 twin came with instructions which said that a SV wasn't fitted,



but it has one,    

I guiess the remainder will be done when Barry gets back on deck.

Cheers

Chris

Yes,

I think it was lesmarsh who said that, and a couple of others also said they had them.  It seems a lot of work to go to not to have a functiong whistle.  To be honest, I've found most toy steam whistles to be prestty ineffectual anyway.

Cheers    

Chris
