Hey guys got 2 packages today from ebay the first of which is this brand new
Trackmaster Emily, I'm not a big fan of the tender driven locomotives to be honest even the Hornby ones but I still wanted this one for a while to actually see how it runs. It runs smoothly although a bit noisy when running, the way the tender couples to the locomotive hides the tender drive quite well and when its motoring along its hard to tell that it being pushed from behind. The paint and details are quite good and the face is the one we have come to know from the pre animated tv show. It would have been nice if it came with 2 coaches but it was lucky I acquired one several weeks ago in an ebay lot. Its packaged in the box very well in its own blister inside the box, the blister holds the train in place well and would make it easy to rebox if I ever wanted to store it away.
Emily is based on a real life GNR G Stirling Single.
Overall a good engine and a welcome addition to my collection I will give it a 7/10 because it doesn't work on the motorized turntable as its tender drive.
