00 Gauge Heljan 1366 0-6-0 Pannier Tank.

 It seemed churlish to ignore Rails offer of the Heljan 1366 Pannier Tank.

What a lovely model for the price. It will be a companion to the DJ- Kernow 1361 Saddle tank on the new 00 gauge layout.

So far 1366 has had early BR insignia applied and the numbers erased from the buffer beam- I have ordered smokebox plates from Narrow Planet including shed code. Also crew members have been added to the cab.

There is a difference in running between the two, the Heljan offering being smoother and quieter than the DJ model. I do wish that the lamps supplied with the DJ saddle tank were available to fit to other western engines.
