BACHMANN 32-478 E/E TYPE 4 D 210 'EMPRESS OF BRITAIN

[cleanerg6e]

My class 40 and yes she does whistle. This loco is a real heavy weight. The speaker is located in the fuel tank. This is another loco with altered mid and high range CV's to get the thrash at a lower speed. I may eventually trade-up to the newer class 40. Unlike many modellers who keep hold of their models for sentimental reasons, I like to trade-up to newer models if the newer model is a significant improvement over what I have. I have some things in the house that's I'll keep for sentimental value but railway models aren't among them.

It's often struck me as odd for people willingly spend thousands on a cars and then not giving a second thought spend thousands more on a newer model of car. But to get rid of an old railway model loco and buy a newer one is to be regarded as being a heathen. Excuses such as 'my wife bought it for me for Christmas', so what know doubt you get socks and undies as presents and do you keep them forever.
