These look superb

[@SansPareil]

Can you clear something significant up please (and not mentioned in your review), its subject to a lot of debate across various forums. On test you show no marker lights working yet the cover of my subscription copy shows one side working? Bachmann said there were not be be side marker lights??? Thanks

[@hornbymag]

@@SansPareil there are no working marker lights.

@@hornbymag thanks, a big shame. Assume the cover was a doctored shot then to show what the model should of could been like if Bachmann had done the proper job.

It’s looks amazing thanks

Only 2 lights on at the front? Shouldn't there be the marker light illuminated on the lineside side of the loco? Is this due to a fault or setting, or do the locos only have functioning head & tail lights, and not marker lights?

[@yorkshire_railway_photogra2631]

No they are rebuilt 20 as in real life

[@mattlander9119]

Pretty sure my BCC magazine said this is an ommision because of the position/design of the lighting internally.

[@sapphirejunction8993]

@@yorkshire_railway_photogra2631 No they are supposed to have marker lights as per prototype.

[@sapphirejunction8993]

@@mattlander9119 that is just unacceptable from Bachmann.

[@Hornhausen]

Amazing.

I thought that this particular locomotive could be supplied with a sound decoder.

[@sapphirejunction8993]

Nice model after several years of waiting and the lack of liveries or different running numbers is quite annoying and those cab end windscreen wipers are way overscale & look out of place, also why doesn't it have the marker lights on or does it come with just basic lighting functions? Bachmann you need to do better against your new competitors.

[@boballen6086]

Brilliant video (as usual) but can you change the bracket signal round.

Rear drive machine needs to be so grubby you could grow tomatoes on it !

[@petersmith4455]

hi there. great video.the bachmann class 20s are far better than the old lima ones which hornby use there is no comparisson so bachmann goes to the top of the class,
