I have bought a few HO scale cars for my layout over the years (more than I need) and I do not have any by BREKINA. The Hobby Shop in Faversham have some on their website. Would anybody please care to rate the models in terms of finish and detail? Do they have well detailed headlights/tail lights and the correct badges. I am interested particularly in the Mercedes 600 Pullman.

I find often that modellers will go to a lot of bother as far as the detail of their layout and trains are concerned, then they skimp on the road vehicles (might be just me

).

Cheers,
Steve

I also have a few Brekina, including an assortment of bonneted Mercedes buses. generally the detail is good but I have found that the chrome finish often needs toning down.

Hopefully of some help.
