Quality of Graham Farish models?

[Welshbloke]

If you acquire an older Farish steamer and it keeps derailing or won't pull, check the tender drawbar and the linkages between leading/trailing trucks/bogies and the mainframe. I've had one or two which needed a little adjustment in that area. Usually unscrewing the part and gently flattening any unwanted bends with smooth jawed pliers will do the trick. Obviously don't flatten any intentional bent or cranked bits!
