Nice locomotive. Some points for Bachmann to consider if you see this... As this version is upwards of £200 don't you think you should supply a driver and a fireman? Without them it wouldn't be making any noise at all. Also why have you only supplied the roundel livery for none sound and the great western livery for sound. More people will buy the none sound version so a choice would be nice. When I owned my much loved Princess Elizabeth back in the mid 1970's I got syncro sound from a piece of sandpaper on a tender axel making a pretty good chuff chuff noise. But even better syncro smoke from the funnel. What's the use of all those steam noises and no steam? Come on Bachmann -Triang Hornby did it 40years ago. I am sure your coffins will enjoy the challenge!

I think that real smoke/ steam on n gauge is a tall order to be honest!
Who ever built that layout never layed the track properly loco running over the points any faster then it would of derailed
