Hi Everyone
The main thing that surprised me with this model was that although it has 2 motors, there is no live connection between coaches 3 & 4 ( irrespective of which direction the model would be running ) to ensure both motors are receiving power as 1 power car could help the other to keep going in the even that 1 of the motors hit a dead section for any of a million reasons.
I think if I was ever able to buy 1 of these, I would definitely be adding a powered connection either purchased as spares ( if available ) or make my own powered connection aswell as adding 2 extra coaches to make it like a western region set as they were in the reverse grey / blue livery.
