The new Bachmann Thompson coaches are a significant improvement on the originals, although I have mixed feelings about it. The roof profile is much improved, and there is a huge amount of chassis detail including brake rigging. The only things that let it down are the moulded door and grab handles, and the moulded handrails on the ends. At such a big increase in cost, after such a long wait, and considering that Hornby provide separate items in these areas, it is a disappointment that Bachmann have not been able to do the same. In fact the 20 year old Mk1s have separate end handrail/water fillers, so in this respect ways this new model is a retrograde step. Having said all that, there is more good than bad about the model and most modellers will be happy with it.
