Yep, the older version, G9011, no PCB in the tender, plugs into the wires from the loco, and you hide the decoder in an opening on the tender.
It is, a mate suggested I put a British Rail logo on the tender.lol
Is he out of his mind?
I say do it! Post pics on all the forums and drive the rivet counters insane!He's known me for 40-plus years, so probably.

One problem is that from what i've read and seen in pictures, there were a lot more "heavy" mikados build than "light' ones. And a "heavy" mikado model would be a great base to have for say anthracite burning eastern coal carriers, like Jersey Central. IHC did the same thing, they put out the"light" mikado version.
Take a closer look at the cab.
Yeah i saw that
There's sometimes the old Bowser models available, but you will have to do some modeling, because most of the time they are unfinished.
That would be very attractive.
I think all of us would as well. That color scheme is very nice.
Have you run this loco yet ?
No not yet, still in the building phase of my new layout. Thanks for the warning about the replacement gears, hopefully they're OK, because USPS is making a killing on postage to the UK. I wanted some cab interiors for my SD70s, which were $9.67 each, and I need 3, postage was $63 for ONE.
Needless to say, I'll do without.
Which colour scheme, the grey or the Southern Green ?
