If you said 'Is it a monster!', you were wrong.

This, is a monster... She is called Sue Lawley, and she is U-G-L-Y!


Whereas this is my brandspanking new Accucraft Lawley...

And she is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!

Only had chance to give her a light test this evening, so the piccy doesnt do her justice! She ran very well straight out of the box! Can honestly say she is one of the finest locos I have ever seen!

Nice loco.  Looking at my finances, I think I'm not going to get a roundhouse after all.  Instead I'm going to get a Lawley myself, so that I will have some money for other things as well.

bungle80a, how well does it run, and what have you gone for controls wise?

I do like the twin safety valves, do they work like they do on the prototype though?

One thing that I don't like about Accucraft is the lack of different colours available...

Problem is they have to commision a whole new batch in that colour, and there's no guarntee (sp) that a whole batch would sell, red and green are a pretty safe bet.
