Frustrated to find this exploded in a box and no one admitting to it. It’ll need $13 worth of parts so it’s not a big issue luckily.

Inconclusive results, as nobody knows who, where or when it has happened. But you can imagine my shock as I pick up the box only to hear 4000 bits instead of one big one.

In 2013, the MRSB found the driver of this Hankyu set to be in breach of common safety practice. He subsequently was banned from driving for 10 minutes and was not allowed to have biscuits with his cup of tea.

Match Wagon Pros:
*Easier to install (theoretically)

*Direct loco to MU connection
*Offers more realism for emergency situation recreations
*Less space usedCons:
*Can be fiddly to fit…

It’s not the end of the world if details go missing. A piece of plastic cut to shape and coloured will go unnoticed unless you happen to be looking on purpose for flaws.
