During the 70's & 80's (are the apostrophies OK) I was a workoholic and had little time for "The Hobby". I had no experience of Mainline kit when new but recently have had plenty of the worn out variety. That was until this past week when I bought a Class 45 stated as unused. Not only does that seem to be true but it runs as well as any Bachmann or Hornby and without the gratuitous sound effects. I have read many comments regarding this type of locomotive (and similar) but find the appearance to be very acceptable. Did they all give such satisfaction initially and then die or was (is) it just pot luck ?
