I decided to buckle today and bought a Bachmann 2MT 2-6-0. It is a lovely little model, well proportioned like the prototype. It's nice and weighty as well and having the DCC decoder socket in the tender makes life so much simpler. For all it's design quality why oh why do Bachmann insist on omitting tender pickups on their models. On US Bachmann steam they all have tender pickups so it shouldn't be that hard to add pickups to the just the front and rear wheels of the tender on a British model. Hornby seem to accomplish it with ease so why can't Bachmann. I use dead frog points so every Bachmann model has to have tender pickups added. For 0-6-0's I add a match wagon to help bridge the gap.
Whinge over with now. It's still a ripper little model.
