Couldn't resist any longer.
I have been looking at one of these for months, actually years but the cost kept putting me off. The good old saying "things come to those that wait" which my parents regularly drummed into me came true.
Kernow/Bachmann went all out with this one, can sort of see why its priced like it is.
Look at it, its gorgeous, a superb and well detailed model.
I think a new layout may be on the cards soon. EEK
Number 1122 was built 02/58 and survived until 02/80 as a 2H a 2 car unt. Built at Eastleigh, although the frames were manufactured at Ashford. Famous on the Lymington branch for a while.
It should have been the saviour of many a branch line, but from what i have read, just wasn't given the chance. Ringwood to Poole via Wimborne, Bournemouth to Salisbury via West Moors. Dare i say, even the Somerset and Dorset.
I get the impression that somebody had already decided that these lines were to close. Today, could have been so much different!
Anyone that travels up and down the A31 will know what i am talking about.

You can not knock the detail.
Passengers will be added when i fit the sound chip from Legomanbiffo.

The first class area, clever they put them at the opposite end to the engine, need peace and quiet while reading the Telegraph.

The cabaling, door handles and lettering is very well done.
You could almost grab the door handle, open the door and jump aboard.

Just superb.

Even the lettering is well applied.
This is the weathered version even the overspray on the windows is acceptable.

I can't fault it.
