Hi,
Cindy, once I had improved the rolling capabilities of some of the carriages it was a little better but unfortunately the Mainline Jubilee loco is suffering from a malady that apparently plagued many of that particular brand of loco.
The design utilizes a split chassis which then uses split 2 piece axles joined by a plastic bush for each driving wheel set. These things apparently fail with regular monotomy rendering them very unreliable when running and even more noisier. Grrr, something you don't hear about until many years after they have been purchased ( and a re no longer readily serviceable !)

Yes I had been made aware of my model being wildly inaccurate in this instance, something I must get back onto and correct as best as I can given the limited info. and even more limited photographic evidence that is available on this particular building. None the less thank you for your input, each little piece of info helps in it's own way, some in obvious ways helps to solve a question and other times by posing a new question, like " I wonder what that big chimney is attached to ?"
Please keep following and reading and more importantly adding information to confirm or correct my efforts.
It is all appreciated
Cheers
Kevan
