This is a really nice DCC ready loco and I would have given it 5 stars BUT fitting a decoder is a nightmare. There is insufficient room above the socket to fit a direct decoder so it has to be a harness one but, even then, there isn't enough room above the motor either. I looked it up on the Hornby website where there were instructions a) prise off filler cap from left hand tank b) unscrew the ballast weight that sits inside the tank c) remove, with difficulty, the weight d) lay the harness flat above the motor e) fix decoder in the empty tank, using sticky tack or similar but making sure the decoder is insulated from the motor that sits adjacent. I finally did it but it's still a squeeze and, inevitably, I did some minor damage. Anyway, it's now up and running doing what I bought it for - pulling and pushing my push pull set which it does really well. I ran it for half an hour on my layout in push mode and the couplings didn't over ride and there were no derailments. All well worthwhile in the end!Read full review

A well produced model. It has lots of added detail and runs so smoothly. I would certainly recommend this item for your layout.

Lovely model, full of detail, only small issue is that there is no front coupling.
