What a Stunner!

My Ixion Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0T Contractors loco arrived today and it is a stunner. It ran smoothly straight from the box and this may improve further after the recommended running in period. Only a couple of minor issues a small paint chip on the chimney and a loose rear spectacle glass - both were easily corrected in less time than it has taken to write this.

Let the layout planning and building commence!!!
