Hi Dave,
I have bought a Bachmann 47. Not had it out of the box yet. Might not bother now.
Seriously though, you are 100% correct in what you say. The reason being is that we are more demanding now, not a bad thing I know, because we have put up with crap for years. When a new model is due there is so much hype beforehand that ANY fault is a major dissappointment.
I know with most classes of loco the subtle differences can be a nightmare for manufacturers, but we pay good money and we should get the goods we require.
Think I may have a sneak look in the box now.
