The level of fine detail on this model is very high and it needs to be handled with great care to avoid damaging the intricate pipework and delicate ladders. The finish is excellent and the smooth motor operation gives extremely realistic starting and stopping with my recent Hornby analogue controller. The main livery colour matches my recollection of the original paintwork on these loco's with the possible exception that the original paint may have had more of a gloss finish to it, whereas the model has more of a matt finish. However, this hardly detracts from the general pleasure one has when surveying the keen attention paid by Hornby in the production of this fine example of locomotive modelling.
