A truly impressive model. Sounds and smoke effects are excellent.
What type of pilot do these models come with? Someone said that it was not a foot board pilot that all the prototype engines had. That it was the slatted pilot. If all the models come with the incorrect slatted pilot,
Thanks in advance
From an accuracy standpoint. The pilot is the least of this models problems.
Things like, the boiler is to long, and the driver spacing /position is incorrect. I believe the Belpaire firebox isn't quite right , too steep maybe? Technically the bell shouldn't swing either. In reality its Lionels rerun of H9 tooling. It even says so on the builders plates on the smoke box.
This was covered in detail in previous H10 threads.
This is not a bash, I purchased one of these knowing full well the inaccuracies. Its still a super smooth runner with phenominal slow speed capabilities.
However, if your looking for fidelity to the prototype the MTH H10 is the way to go.
