No problem I do think you need to tell us a little more about the models though!
And a warm welch to anyone off the 1/32 yahoo group who had joined to see the pictures  :wave:

Thanks for the understanding.
45010 is the model made by Accucraft and is based on the early version.1, 45472 is the Brassworks model of a version.2
Sorry the pics are so poor but I was trying to show the differences as regards accuarcy of the models.

regards,
john.

Nice to see the different versions of the Black 5. As a 9 year old in '63 they all looked the same to me  My favoroites 45222, 45292, 45393 (1E examples).

CME,
Trackshack are selling the Accucraft models (Early or Late Emblems) for £930 including postage.
I think that for a garden line they are very good value. The Brassworks model seems to be finer detailed so may  take a little more wear in a garden enviroment.

regards,
John.

Those Accuraft models seemed to represent superb value for money - especially when compared to 7mm RTR

Ermm!....IF it was me I think I'd save up the difference and go for the Brassworks one...to me there's something seriously wrong in the firebox department with the Accucraft one , looking at the photos...it also appears to be destined for a life of tender first running looking at the reverse gear and strangely both locos still have their crosshead vac pumps fitted , taken off in the 40's on the real thing.
  Nit picking over...I too will get me coat

One looks like it has a taper boiler (Brassworks), the other (Accucraft) looks like it has a pararllel boiler from the SDJR 7F (the Midland's idea of an outside cylinder 4-6-0?), despite both having a taper boiler.
