DCC sound fitted ESU LokSound 5 with modified SWD A3 sound profile

Work carried out to bring the model up to expectations:

• Drawbar and pony truck checked and adjusted for improved running quality. All screws secured - loco can still be opened if required.
• Crank pins and Slide bars lubricated.
• Cosmetic work on chimney cap and tender water dome.
• Cab re-attached in a way that still allows dis-assembly according to the manufacturers instructions.
• Silver pick up strips painted black where they were previously visible.
• Quality checked and tested on 419mm Radius.. Chassis checked over a moderate hump in the rails to check flexibility when transitioning into and out of gradients.
