great to see Emily's basis
We live in a wondrous time in terms of dazzling quality model trains appearing from the East (and Canada!). Older railway fans with disposable income mean that exquisite locos like this one will put older models in the shade. Appreciate them, guys, this can't continue indefinitely. My collection may provide a real benefit for family upon my demise!
If I didn’t read the title, I would’ve thought the engine was the full sized version. Yes, the set is THAT detailed as shown in the thumbnail.
It's Emily.
Take one look at the GNR Stirling engine and you’ll say- “Hey, that’s Emily”.
Bought the latest issue, great to see it in action, much looking forward to it!
looks fantastic!
Hi Emily!
Hello Emily.
I still have my "Kitmaster" 00 gauge model from the 1960s!
Paid for mine in full ,but still waiting delivery.
whats going on with the footplate
One question that comes into my mind. How large is it, compared to Bachmann Emily? I know the Bachmann Gordon, is smaller than the Hornby one.
We waited how long for this?
I could do with one of these 00 scale Sterling Single Wheel locomotives for my layout; at least I would be able to thinly dress it up as Emily when I run a model version of a Day Out With Thomas event, a unique character since no heritage railway has ever had Emily yet....
Have the front "fenders" over the front guiding wheels been removed for running? I see them clearly in the first picture, but not while running ...am I (not) seeing things?
Looks & sounds fantastic, better start saving for that high price tag.
Not long now
The running model appears to be bereft of splashers on the front bogie. Do they have to be removed to take curves?
Honestly, the DCC sound does not impress. It always sounds so tinny and muffled because of how it's handled, which makes it seem really not worth the (absurd) price hike.
