Absolutely right. The use of the wire handrails and other features on Bachmann, the decals and general detailing is very realistic and they are my personal favourite (along with TRIX, Lilliput). The more authentic the detailing(even if simple materials such as wire are used), the better (of course).
Hornby do some nice supe detail locos but the general ones are simply not as good.
