Model Railway Forum

and then Bachmann have annoubnced a new tooled Class 8F!!!

Oh no! Might not be able to resist. They are my favourite locos as I saw them working around Northwich just before the end of steam.

Have already got an ancient tender drive one which barely runs ( inherited from my dad), a Hornby one and a metal Wrenn one ( basically a 2 rail version of the Oid Hornby 3 rail I had as a kid - bit crude but she runs like a dream).

I treated myself to a new sound fitted loco, I can only try it out on a rolling road right now, but I am very pleased with how smooth and quiet the mechanism is, and the sounds hit the spot for me. Obviously looks great too
