Happy modelling

Perhaps an MRF version of the top gear survey?
The trouble with that is that with this forum we have such diverse interests and the chances of lots of us all having the same loco would not be enough to get a representitive sample.

ME- what i ment was that even if we did do a survey for any loco i dont thjink enough of us would own a paticular loco for the survey to be of any use.

Personally i really dont care about the quality control issues as i always make sure i get to see it run before i buy it and even if it does go wrong then it is always swapped for another. i really dont see the problem.

I have seen it claimed on here that german loco's are stronger than brittish ones. since i got a Roco 01 a couple of months ago i have so far broken it in 2 places (both easily repairable). i do think this claim is a bit of an urban legend.
