It's sort of nice but the price is beyond belief. Yep you're right about the weird 'gunmetal' wheel colour. Just marks down what could have been awesome.
Nice video here . Tho you didn’t show the comparison between tomix Annie and clarabel behind Bachman James and bachmans troublesome trucks behind Bachman James
Nice to see another N Scale video from you. James certainly looks nice, actually surprised they gave him open windows, but the bump under his face is so distracting imo. Still, I'm totally going to pick him up when I have some extra cash.
Nice to see N Scale James reviewed He's a tad better than expected, but he does have a lot of flaws, such as the round bit above his smokebox, the oddbod face, the painted on cab roof whistle and his pulling power. However, they can still be overlooked aside of the worse James has been getting in the merchandise nowadays. i'll gladly look forward to when Toby will be presented. BTW, the N Scale range isn't the only one to have cases to pack their engines. there is the 009/HOn3 Skarloey Railway range, and they are stored in boxes/aimed at the same ages 14+ speaking of which, i am planning to get Peter Sam soon.
From afar this model looks great but when you get a closer look it could be better in places. I'm not a fan of the face mainly but the cab is the biggest letdown by far
