I have to say I agree with you ACE. I am still holding out inspite of a very favourable review in Model Rail this week. Interestingly they pick up two of my niggles: the bright metal pick ups and the droopy couplings.
There also seems to be some difficulty in getting inside to fit a DCC chip, according to various postings on RMWEB.
I might gamble on Bachmann producing a 00 version in a few years time as they will have done all the development work on the N scale version. I understand that the total production for the Hatton's 14 is 2,600, although they may do a second batch. I suppose it depends how robust the tooling is.
Best wishes,
