Really impressed with these Mk2b coaches. The close coupling works really well and the lighting is a good level and a reasonable colour temperature, much better than the Mk5. Really good level of detail with even more to add in the detail bag. They are also exceptionally free running in a straight line but do drag quite a lot when on a bend. Really neat box too, much more compact than the more recent Mk2C version.
Overall attention to detail is excellent. Close coupling is exceptional.
