Superb!

I must say, that anyone who bitches about Accucraft should have to watch that video and then we'll see what they think! The comments that some make Accucraft's customer service is rubbish, I asked them for the size of an allen key I required to tighten the grub screws in the cranks on my Edrig, and they sent it to me free of charge.

It wasn't aimed in particular at anyone, just people who don't touch Accucraft locos 'cos they think they're crap!

Urm, actully they have. A few years ago they got board with the origanle music, and replaced it with something else that isn't as good. Also, following the music, every episode opens in a boring introduction to the island of sordor and thmas, which is read like it's being told to a 4 year old.

With you want to know how I found this out, I watched a few of the newest episodes, and man they are crap!

Well, at least the new characters they've introduced are prototypical. So fare they've now got besides the origanle main cast, a Great Eastern Stirling single, and LMS 'Micky Mouse' and a BR 9F.

I'm surprised by this, as I thought that HIT couldn't be bovered to base new characters on real locos.
