Great video also relly nice loco.Someone has said there loco sprung a leak where the bung comes out.Also i think Hornby should have put a couple of spares in the detailing pack as i can see a few of these going missing also they could be made available as spares????
Very nice loco indeed, Hornby don’t really do spares to be fair, I bet that if you lost that bung they would want you to send the loco back to them so they can fit a new one, I’m speaking from experience in buying a loco from them that wasn’t fully functioning as it should, in the end I gave up and decided not to buy anymore loco’s from them again, I have seen videos of this cool loco with steam generator issues on quite a few occasion now, hopefully the issues will get the attention they need to make the system work as it should on a regular basis.
Got mine yesterday, had a real problem trying to remove the filler cap, it wouldn't shift, in the end pinged off. Guess what Hornby don't do spares! Shame as the model is great, so will probably get a friend to 3D print a replacement.

If you find a paint/coloring that matches the hornby color of the smokebox please put it here, it would be really helpful if you could.
