Hi Richard, will you put a sound chip in your Rebuilt Scot, if so what one will it be?

No, I'm nothing to do with the magazines, but the pallet of MRJs was in front of the pallet of LNER 4Bs so
I had to move them out of the way and took a look inside.
The article itself talks about building the locos but there is a very nice pic of them on Heyside, suitably captioned.

Hi Len,
I'm not sure. I would like to, but with a Crailcrest providing the power, a 4 amp chip in and the boiler leaded and sealed, I have precious little room in the loco. Besides which, the chip is Digitrax, and I'm not aware that they do Scot sounds for the add-on sound chip!
I don't have to think about it for a while as it's a fair way down the build order.
Cheers,
Richard

Lovely loco and also a very nice shot of the gantry too!Hi,
Working day today, and Roger brought along his Crosti 9F for some final trials before it goes for a heavy weathering. Don't see many of those....

Roger's made a good fist of a very tricky kit. Well done

As bilboe43106 says this is the Seven Models kit but greatly enhanced with Ragstone fittings replacing many of the lost wax castings provided. The whitemetal castings for the bulbous steampipes etc. are of course unique to the kit and had to be used and some left a lot to be desired. Weathering will greatly enhance the loco. I've been asked if I'd build another, well I'd think carefully but.................? Who knows?

Here's another......
Dirty? Just a bit. In fact I never, ever saw a clean one.

What feature of the rebuild made the engines an '8' rather than a '9'?

The boiler wasn't changed, even when rebuilt, from the one used with the Crosti set up, and was smaller than the standard 9F boiler.

As mentioned above the boiler was not changed so that the loco weighed in less than a standard class 9 when the preheat boiler was removed.
