I saw that. The ones with tenders are open at the rear, whereas the others
have an inverted sloping coal scuttle on the back, and redesigned open
sides. Whilst this is an interesting design (particularly on the large
one), I think the bigger you go the more value-for-money you get.
In fact, if you add up the price of a wagon pack, plus wheels and buffers,
and compare that to the price of the large set with a tender - well, it
makes very good value for parts, particularly with the rarer green, brown
and dark grey colours.
What isn't so great is the smallest engine of all doesn't even have a front
buffer bar - take a closer look at the pictures.
Odd also that the colours look like they're painted on in many of the
photographs. Look at the black engines; the black in place of the coloured
bricks is not the same as the black the rest of the train is made from. Did
someone foul up in the photography department?
And, sorry Larry, but I reckon they look early American. The desert
background suggests that TLC think so too.
