Well it doesn't really fit in with the line but I'm the one who has bought the Peckett from John. I've read the article by Mark and am a little worried the cylinders will cause me issues. Is there anything else to watch for on these kits/ any tips?

Thanks

Simon

It arrived today. Think I will fit roundhouse brass handrail knobs in place of split pins. Seems the biggest issue will be the crosshead assy and fitting the cylinders correctly. Very much like the look of it now to think up a nice private Owner livery...... Could end up with a matching rake of wagons! Also the resin castings look nice and thick.
