<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Exallent models. Wonder if they are looking at a different loco to produce.
Good drivetrain, but not so accurate as a model.
Value? Well they are about a fiver less than the better Bachmann 37.
You pays yer money and yer makes yer choice.....
As for other manufacturers making them.....?
Hornby just have their old Triang-based toy and the better ex-Lima model in their Railroad range, but these really are nowhere near good enough for serious modelling, in the present day.
It's basically Bachmann or ViTrains.
