It is now super smooth and powerful and runs as well as my 37885 Br44. I admit the detailing is not quite as good as the latest incarnations mentioned here, and the wheels are bright metal instead of darkened, but the total cost was < 100 euro. It also has the Cab tender, which is my favourite! Ray
