Great model but fitting decoder not for the faint hearted
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!

Good quality, great value
The quality and functionality of the loco, carriage and track is amazing considering how cheap it is. Not for the rivet counters, of course, but if you're happy to watch a German outline railway running through your garden with hands free operation, this is the one for you. The sound is more play value than authentic synchronised chuffing but children will love it. The only thing I would have liked to see is a bigger range of track sections (short straights, long straights and bigger radius curves).
