Mmm - I'm still torn about this - I like it, but it's a lot more (£85) than I'm used to paying for lightweight motive power. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it in the flesh - in the pictures, it looks plasticey (I know, that's what it's made of) and a bit LGB / Playmobile-ish. It may be possible to tone this down.

I like its clean lines, could be a useful piece of motive power for a small quarry line.

I'd imagine that the plasticy look would be solved by painting the model. I do like it, especially the external chain drive but I have to admit that £85 is expensive, but for the complete package & no soldering it isn't that bad really I suppose.
