Not just whizzy cranks ............... whizzy chain, flywheel, pistons .............
And that was just him arriving up your street...
Looks great Mel. I reckon a Willi would suit the WGLR (waits for unsuitable comments... I wish Regner would change the name of it). They are quite de Winton.

Hi big jack hope you all will hope to see you soon chres for going to pickup the trak for the mighty mo
No probs Roy. Not 100% sure when Steve will be over your way. I didn't have any straights left, so I've sent you a couple of curves instead. You can use them as they are or straighten them out.
Thanks for the Welshpool shot Knotty, not seen that one before especially with the left hand shop having it's awning down .

I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while. As mentioned previously, I've also considered the new Accucraft Countess. Perhaps the Countess would have been more authentic, but I knew for certain that the Heidi would run reliably on my railway, plus it has sound, lights, smoke etc. all for less money ....... that's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks to Riverderwent for a great deal .

I've got a bit of a problem with the WGLR at the moment as the mostly dry, windy weather is blowing loads of debris out of the trees including twigs, leaves and lilac flower petals. Added to that is all the pollen from the apple tree. So running can be a bit challenging at the mo .......
But Heidi takes it all in her stride and ploughs on reliably through the lot .
She is a little on the large side, but the Accucraft W&L stock looks in proportion being a slightly larger scale than LGB.
