A brace of 0 Gauge Pannier Tanks.

 The 8750 Pannier Tank, on the right, was delivered from Rails as a special offer. This one is a Dapolproduct and is incorrect as it displays a smokebox number.

The black 57XX is a Minerva Models offering. This one didn't have as many fittings attached as the Dapol model, leaving it to the purchaser to add.

Which is best? Well for fittings the Dapol product is superior. However, the Minerva Pannier has many fittings to individualise my model.

 Crew wise, The 57XX has ModelU figures which were ex-display offers at Wells where the loco was aquired.

The 8750 has S&D Phoenix 1/43 figures which are white metal compared to ModelU resin.

Number plates , smokebox number and shed plate have already been ordered from Narrow Planet .

By the way, Cringle Street now has two exhibition bookings- Poole and Minehead. More details later.
