A beautifully detailed 0-6-0 tender loco that runs smoothly and very steadily at slow speeds. Bachmann really put the wind up Hornby with this and other Blue Riband items. The true-life see-through gap beneath the boiler is possible because they put the motor vertically above the rear axle, and yet managed to super-detail a boiler backplate without the good-ol' motor magnet showing through to dent the imagination. If it has a fault, it's the pickups are limited to the loco only which means you have to keep rails and wheels clean and dirt-free. Finally, all the pipe work, handrails, window-glass and rivets give this product of inter-war austerity a bit too much polish; they were rarely this perfect looking. No matter - the quality is obvious and this ugly duckling of a goods work-horse is ideal for small layouts where speed is unimportant.Read full review
