Mike is this the same as the manning wardle formerly FYN 1 and later to become W1 Medina in southern days.

FYN no1 was a Manning Wardle class Q and quite a bit bigger (in MW terms ! ) engine than Mikes L class kit. The wheels are 3'6" as apposed to 3'0" for instance and the loco was longer by at least 6". If you want to build an Isle of Wight MW from Mikes kit then the original Bembridge which was a type M is much closer.

The coupling rods came with the kit but I spent some time cleaning them up with a file and then ever finer grades of wet and dry used dry.  The final finish is maybe a bit bright but I'm sure that they will tone down in time.
