At least, unlike the then editor of MRJ, they give credit correctly to the people who do the work and who take the photos!
Well I did publicly mock the chimney of his Jinty...

We're a double act......... your comments are always worth it when they elicit a response from Jordan,

Are you not tempted to use AGH wheels?

I would drop the wheelset and hornblocks, that means that the leaf springs have to be removable....So how do you get the wheel with the longer female part of the axle past the brake shoes - or are you going to tell me that with scale flanges it is possible. For sure in FS, the shoes have to be unacceptably far away from the tread to make this possible - and the axle cannot be angled as the other end is still in the opposite side bearing. mind you, if my frames were scale width apart.........
You don't realise how easy S7 is

You can use the leaf spring casting/etching/shaped piece of metal to act as the keep for the block in its horn, by the way.I would drop the wheelset and hornblocks, that means that the leaf springs have to be removable....
Sorry, 4 yr old daughter bounced and hit the post 'button' before I was finished - the point I was getting to was that for my own modelling I'm sticking with Slater's as I'm not sure if the extra effort is necessarily justified on a railway where most locos are almost constantly in motion, and for those locos that are at rest both distance and viewpoint mean the subtleties are almost entirely lost.
