This loco, I have had a few problems with, the main one is the tender, it almost always de-rails whilst going over a Hornby point, it sometimes falls off when in motion and the loco speeds away, it isn't that fast and is slower then my ringfield powered Mallard.
As well as the tender the bogie has a nasty habit of de-railing too, on the bright side, when nothing goes wrong, she is a wonderful sight to behold, and to be fair is an alright runner, it is a good looking engine aswell.

So in general, this loco should do main line work and not mess with points.

Overall: Mark/10:

Looks: 8/10
