I'd be pleased to have either of those two beauties, but I'm reasonably happy with my Lima 37s - not too bad from two foot away. Got a Transrail logo'ed dutch engineer livery one at the Bristol show last weekend for buttons (27 quid) and they can be CD motored and DCC fitted for not a great deal, for folks on a limited budget. Anyway, good comparison, thx Jason :)
I can't say that the grill was loose on mine; dare say I'd have noticed. A light run of glue to repair? The horn set-up on them differ. Never noticed that. Nice comparison video. Cheers!
The thing that stands out to me is the Bachmann one has a separate nose end piece that creates another seam that is not there on the accurascale loco or the real thing . The horns on the on the split box locos are in the nose behind the two grills. I would say that the glazing on the accurascale 37 is very fine indeed
All my locos are detailed because I only run a TMD layout, Tip try long nosed pliers work a treat with a spot of super glue less is more in the glue department. Must admit I prefer bachmann 37s
@@tonyrobinson362 dust doesn't make it any better or worse. My bachmann model is heavily used on the layout, I don't put it away in its box when I've finished playing with it, it's heavily used and spends 99% of it life on the layout.

One buffer is missing at your model ! My advice: take both ! Greetings from Germany!
Been waiting for comments saying that LOL
Oddly i only noticed it missing myself when watching it back after uploading to here.

Thanks for the tips!
For me it would be Vitrains as non Chinese manufactured.
Why didnt you dust down the bachmann needs some tlc.

giant box
Both Chinese engineering and manufacturing at there most inexpensive .
