Banbury Connections couldn't resist the £109 King from Cambourne shed (aka Kernow Model Centre!) which is a superb runner and able to haul a seven coach express over the stiff grades from Wolverhampton to London without any additional weight. This was the centrepiece of a recent Western Region acquisition program comprising also a Grange and a Hall. Helmingham Hall required extra boiler and cab weight (as done with Rood Ashton and Olton Halls) to meet 5MT performance specifications. Paviland Grange exhibits better adhesion out of the box but required some minor adjustments to improve the motion.
