This is my next build for HMRS in Scale 7.
As with the Kirtley Goods described here, Slaters MR/LMS Kirtley 0-6-0 Goods (Johnson) 7L007, there is less than no clearance between the splashers especially across the smaller section over the coupling rods. I have sent the O gauge wheels to Colin Dowling for reprofiling with a request to reduce the width as much as possible. When I get them back I can have another look and see whether the splasher fronts will have to be removed from this etch and refitted. I am not sure how far up into the splasher the coupling rod and crankpin extends.
