Hey Guys I got this today from Ebay and I'm very happy with it, its my new favorite tank steam locomotive in the collection. It is powered by the more recent smaller type of drive unit (well more recently used by TM anyways) but it is the most quiet I have heard of this type of drive unit on any of my engines, I would have to say that TOMY's manufacturing standards are higher than Trackmasters. Ok well he is a Great Western tank engine who first appeared in the stories and tv show after escaping scrap and being rescued by Douglas. He was then restored and put to work on the island of sodor on Ducks branchline (who is also Great Western). It is powered like most other engines of this type with the rear wheels being powered but the traction rods on the front wheels are free spinning to give the appearance of it having front driving wheels, this works well and looks brilliant in my opinion. It is quite a fast engine and was catching Emily on the track quite easily.
So in summary: Looks great, runs great, comes with a pair of coaches and has a good story behind it in the rws and tv show. A win all round and my first ever 10/10 score in a review!! Get one of these while you can, you will not be disappointed.
