Hehe, If you can see their 3:00 and 12:00 points from the cab then you've got the wheels on your models in a very unusual orientation... :confused:

I knew there should have been a dangly carott on your post. Its not easy being a novice.The loco in Back to the Future springs to mind though:)

Three cylinder loco's are not always set at 120 degrees. Some like the LNWR 'A' class had the outside cylinders set at 90 degrees ( L.H. lead) with the centre cyl. set at 135 degrees.
