Excellent model but quality control issues

An excellent model but a number of quality control issues. All the windows needed gluing back in, the whistle was missing and there was a broken handrail.

Its Alright

Considering what I paid for the model its a bargain. I did buy it with the quality warning in mind but I was surprised how many parts fell off of it even after getting it out of the box. Better glue is required for further releases. also better instructions I needed to remove the cab to refit the glazing pieces but there is nothing about cab removal in the instructions and refitting the doors was a pain and when I was doing this several other parts away from the cab fell off. other than that its a good model, good performance etc.,,
I would recommend picking one up but only if you're happy about refitting parts to it given its cost I think its worth a go at least, the OO gauge versions of the class on the market right now are way more expensive than this is now.

First class Second!

An excellent model which has obviously been let down by some final assembly and shipping. But, it's the easily fixed variety. Mine had; rear windows out; harp dropped off, one buffer in bits.

An hour or so with a few types of glue and it is as new. I'd have been happy at the full RRP, but this is really good.

Just need some cheap wagons to go with it now.

very good

Very good purchase
beautiful engine

7D-008-012R O Gauge Class 08 NQP

I was aware this offer has some faults and no warranty.
After fixing several flaws the loco is now complete and is running like a dream.
What i am missing is a face plan, in relation of the lights, what pin of the 21MTC is dedicated to which LED.

Hi

The British Rail Class 08 diesel-electric shunter is the most numerous of all British locomotive classes. In all 996 were produced between 1953 and 1962 at the BR works at Crewe, Darlington and Doncaster. The Class 08 became the standard BR Shunter and was a very common sight at stations and freight yards until the 1990s. However, as the nature of the British Railways changed with fixed rakes of wagons and the introduction of multiple units, the requirements for shunting diminished and many Class 08 were either scrapped or sold overseas, including 15 to Australia and 5 to Liberia. The Class 08’s role as a shunter has been continued onto the heritage railways and over 60 have survived into preservation, making it the most numerous class of preserved locomotive.

• Sprung metal buffers
