All though Arry is not in this picture it is the smoothest running locomotive in my HO collection of Thomas, James, Donald, Arry, Percy and Emily. All of them run well though I must say that the more recent units (Donald and Arry) seem smoother than the older ones. I hope Bachman management does not start to economize production by replacing parts with cheaper manufacturing attempts. Probably not for small unsupervised children. Old Big Hauler also has run well for 3+ years. dck

I originally bought this along with Bert when I got back into model trains in late 2019 as Christmas gifts as I heard they were gonna be off the market. But I had to deal with Arry stuttering at times due to how the wheels are like. I tried sending it to Bachmann, but they never did anything, so I had to buy another one to get a better replacement. Not a great sign. Anyways, I think it's great that Bachmann did the ladder-less Class 08s from the show. The only issue is that there's no difference to tell Arry and Bert apart. I know Bert has more stubble, but that's you have a clear eye to notice. This is kinda why I wished Bachmann made the Class 08s back before the 2010s started as they would've gave the twins different faces like what they did with Bill and Ben. So if Bachmann brings them back, they should at least give them a different face to make them identifiable.Read full review
