Hattons/DJM GWR 14xx | Review

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Alfie will have two 14xx's to play with, as will you. I like that idea. The part on top of the cab roof is called a ventilation door. If you look on Lizzie's cab roof, you will see she has the exact same thing. Jimmy the Jinty has one on his roof. On a hot day, the Driver pulls the ventilation door, which has a hand-pole on its underside, open to let fresh air in to cool down. Many real steamies have a ventilation door on their roofs. On one particular Llangollen Railway occasion, if I remember right, 5199 the Large Prairie Tank Engine was running. I was waving from the top of Green Lane Bridge. The Driver stuck his hand out through the ventilation hole, and waved back.

Looking forward to collecting it in November 🤗🤗 9:04 looks familiar 😉

Think it'll make a much better addition to your collection! I'm saving for the Dapol one in green that's why it's being moved on. I have enjoyed having it in the collection of course. And yep it does look familiar , and it's never parting the collection! Thanks for watching :-)

I have a hornby 14XX and an Airfix auto coach. Have you tried tweaking the fishplates as they sometimes come loose over time.

I'm having the railway fully Rebuilt soon so will sort everything then. Thanks for watching :-)
