<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think the review is a fair one.

**As do I, and I'd much rather read a review from someone with a little enthusiasm that a flat set of text from someone following a "formula". Neils comments mirror my own thoughts about Brawa - superbly done in general and a bit delicate in places.
However, I do think comment about size of detail is only valid if the items are the same scale and similar prototypes - Sorry Neil but it wasn't a good comparative choice - better to compare with Roco or something HO perhaps..... Or no comparison if apples for apples aint possible.
Some things I'd love to see on every review for everything:
wheel profile used
coupler type and mount (often added as a comment anyway)
back to back dimensions
for loco's always - reviewed after a short run in on each direction:
current draw (running light)
current draw (wheels slipping) *against a fixed stop on the track, not "stalled)
Regards, and thanks for a nice review
