I like the Bachmann range, Hejan also.

My Co-Co Warship is a very well built loco. Indicative of their quality and attention to detail.

die cast boiler


Is that common these days?


Most have plastic boilers, with metal weights inside. My M7 for example has weights in the tanks, with one having to be removed if a decoder is to be fitted...

With the T9 they had problems with the adhesion hence the die-cast boiler.

Most Bachmann locos are starting to get weighty boilers, my Super D has a metal boiler. I think!

Mike,

Heljan do good models. I have four of their 33's Shocked Plus a Western for good measure Wink
