Not much of a model then, BUT certainly doesn't appear to be reflecting the EPs we have seen on this thread :-p Clever people at Accurascale. I wonder how they manage without pickups. All the same, I’ll stick with my Bachmann (Mainline derived) Manor. Apparently, both new ones have domes. 🤦♂️ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold longchap Posted June 23, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2022 Do we know by whom and where the sound instal will be effected? I am imagining the hardware to be factory fitted, with the electronics and quality checks in the West, but that is very much subject to confirmation by those who really know these things. Call me old fashioned, but my logic circuit needs to hear this wonderful beast before ordering. I trust my approach will not result in missing out! Waiting, breath well and truly baited!
