But if Bachmann do design clever no one bats an eyelid, moudled in handrails, tender brake blocks moulded with the tender frame, gearbox mount protruding from the firebox, no tender pickups.
The West Kent Sand Co have been spending their money again and bought a Peckett from the PLA and named it Westerham. Here it is dwarfed by the brake van. Lovely smooth runner straight out of the box.
I've had this before on a Bachmann, Hornby and Electrotren locomotives. It was the interference supressor failing. Removed the sepressor out of circuit cured the problem.
Yes, I just had to authorise the price increase, I had the impression these had been further delayed, good news this is one I have been looking forward to.
Two RTR models have been available as already said the Hornby model dimensional errors excepted wasn't that bad for Hornby at the time.
And the odd scale Trix model.
