GWR service using 158766 have started. A driver and spotter meet it at Crossland Station.

I am very pleased with this model; sounds good, speed and control is good. Little bit of light weathering and she has been pressed into service, shuttling my 1/2 people around.

 

You do have to remember to close the doors to move off, added realism :). The interior lights (driver and carriage) are controlled by switches rather than functions. Haven't looked at top speed as mine trundles between 2 stations so the speed it does is fine.

Mine has been out and run. Simply stunning; livery is beautiful with lots of details. My TPE class 68 happily pulls the rake, though I did install the longer coupling and that helped with buffer binding when propeling.  My only minor issue was the DVT body fits so well that I spent many nervous minutes unclipping the body with shims; it is very tight, to install the DCC chip.

 

Well done to Revolution Trains

The DVT, the wiper sits a littel of the windshield
