I have allways thought of the 22 as a bit of an ugly duckling, that has hit a wall and pushed the front in, but saying that i will endevour to purchase one for my layout, is this the first OO gaouge loco that dapol have produced? the spec sounds good, cant comment on the split chasis on diesels, are they the same as those on steam locos? if it is a success, maybe we will get more obscure treats from Dapol in OO.
