"John Turner" wrote Do I assume that the BR green version of the 108 will have the 4-character headcode box? Anyone seen which version they are producing in that livery?
John.
Fropm what can be seen on the front page of the Bachmann site of the 108, the green version seems to have only 2 digits.

That may be so, but the only real criticism I'd have of what is a rather nice model is the overscale distance between corridor connections. I'm rather surprised they have not produced a close-coupling arrangement based on that used on their Mk1 coaches!
John.
I was taking measurements from a planning department map of a stretch of line with which I am very familiar and as far as I can tell the infamous facing crossover works out to about 4ft in length in 4mm scale. Does that sound about right?

Lots of photos of the green 'un in this thread now :--
Excellent review. What happened to the "concealed mechanism driving both ends and full interior detail" we were promised? (I said here at the time it wasn't possible). No mention of the running qualities. I am guessing it runs better in one direction than the other although with only two units there won't be a huge difference. Critical for me is ease of changing the destination blind to something more local.
