Review - Midnight Metropolitian

Time for something different, a Review into a new train for the OO layout.

For a long time I've wanted a model of one of the London Transport Pannier Tanks used in the late 60s/early 70s. Recently, Bachmann has brought out the 'Midnight Metropolitian' containing just such a engine along with a small set of LT wagons.

I just had to get one. Plus, it gives me another controller for Blaencwm and Blaencwm Works which run off the Bachmann DC controllers.


The train is well, fantastic. The liveries are applied crisply and well done to Bachmann for creating a very unique trainset.

The engine itself is fantastic with all the right detailing and full lining applied. It is also DCC ready.


The LT engines were uniqure in having their fleet numbers painted in large numbers across the bunkers and Bachmann has recreated this brilliantly.


I haven't had a chance to run this yet so I'll post back with more infomation on how the unit runs out of the box shortly.

Until next time,

Jon
