When the Bachmann Deltic was first released I complained (here) that the nose didn't look right, that it lacked the "massiveness" of the real thing or even the Lima variant. Bachmann and their cronies countered with comparisons to the manufacturer's drawings, claiming it to be correct.
According to the latest edition of Bachmann's own club magazine, manufacturers drawings weren't available for the prototype so they had to do a laser scan of the entire body. Guess what? Even ignoring the headlamp casing, the sheer "massiveness"of the nose end is now back!
If the new Deltic is right then the old Deltic must be wrong. Hopefully, they'll do laser scans of all bodies in future instead of relying on someone's interpretation of manufacturer's drawings?
