Ahh I've already built a sterling, Bulter Henderson get's my vote

I was on a 12 hour shift today then i got home to find 3440 had arrived, unfortunatley the hinge had fallen off but it was a simple case of a dab of glue and pushing it back into place now as good as new, I have to blame parcel force for that, the was a fecking great dent in the box it came in but the NRM seem to have packaged it well enough. Now for the horrible bit, since ordering and paying for it my mother has given me the money for it and as such I can't use it until the 25th, as is tradition but the up side is I save ??150, another downside though is by the time the 25th is around I will be in Wales and not be home until Jan, but at least by the time it takes to the rails again it will have the full detailing treatment done to it. I was however asked to test it on arrival to check it was all good and test it I did, I have photos and even a short video as well as well (Link Below) I have to say this is a stunning model, perhaps one of Bachmann's best if not their best, it will only manage 6 Bachmann MK1's but it does so with ease (once is is moving) I however opted to show it running with 6 centenary coaches. It is smooth and silent and the track holding is phenominal straight from the box, Folks all I can say is if you're interested and can muster the cash buy now!

As a kid i'd have rather had a go with a Bachmann City of Truro than had presents at christmas

I have one of them (tender drive 3440) and it's up for sale, if you're interested?

I thought you didn't like GWR?

did take any hesitation, I have ordered mine already sent an email for a quotation for a set of brass plates for it too
