Customers praised this O Scale locomotive as "a gem of a model" with "awesome detail" and excellent value. The weathered finish and smooth running impressed most shoppers. One customer noted the weathering color was "rather odd" for UK railways. Praised for protective packaging and heavy, quality construction.
What a fantastic loco awesome detail and loverly smooth runner, Im surprised these didn't sell out start away as terrific value for money.
Brilliant model of class 73, great detail, weathering 1st class, just needs a driver added to cab.
First thing is how well it’s protected in the box, nice thick foam inserts. Secondly how heavy it feels, you know this is going to look great pulling a decent load. Detailed finish is good plus the weathering helps make it look not so fresh out of the box. All in all very impressed with this model and for the money really good value for money.
Really pleased with the class 73, looks the part although havent run it yet. Hopefully the BR Blue will be available again as i would like another
A gem of a model. Well made at an excellent price. Looking forward to more offerings.
A fine model, only let down by the weathering - it's a bit "broad brush" in application and the colour is rather odd/jarring (a reddish brown that's not really suitable for UK railways).
A beautiful model but it is still in its box...! I dare not touch it
Wonderful model at a great price with speedy delivery.
