Prompt delivery well packaged good locomotive

The heft, detail, quality and running style are all top notch with the bright colour was just what I wanted to stand out on my new garden layout, weaving in and out of foliage. I will be converting to RC battery powered in due course and do not foresee any issues with that.

I don't have a lot of bad things to say about this. I cannot give a 5 star as some parts were loose in the box upon arrival but they are minor. the only other issue effects all Dapol Steam loco's in OO gauge at least is the firebox glow effect, its not great on DC as the loco needs to be doing a high speed before it'll even come on and at that point the loco is going to fast for you to see it the same problem exists on this loco. Hornby's Firebox glow effect is a lot better as it works at super slow speeds and flickers at those speeds too so I think Dapol need to upgrade this effect over all there models not just this one.
Otherwise a very nice model and its a good price for O gauge especially
