I wrote this a month or so back,
An opporchancity that had to be taken and very pretty it is too. What I had overlooked is the large driving wheels and the relatively coarse control the regulator provides. It took off like a scared thing and nimble is no longer my middle name so there was a horrible noise as it left the rails. Fortunately the damage is limited to scratches in the paintwork however I'd appreciate some opinions as to a matching shade of green. The photo above is taken with flash which has bleached the colour somewhat so below is a pic in daylight.
I invite any thoughts, I will refrain from giving what I believe to be the name so as not to prejudice thinking.
Regards
Martin
