A video review of the Hornby R3704 Ruston 48DS 0-4-0 diesel shunter.
Well, I am amazed, such a tiny loco with a big heart, its smaller than its attached match truck which serves to increase current pickup due to the locos small wheel base.
The truck can be detached, but the loco may then struggle over dead frog points and crossings.
The truck can be attached at the front or back of the loco and there are supplied blanking plates to fit over the NEM pocket if you wish.
The video shows my very first run with the loco, it got better as it went on, yes there were a few stutters on the points but then the track was not 100% clean!
Overall amazed, and a further order has been placed for the red one :)
