The Bachmann class 08 model must be one of the best ready to run models available and with a little work can be made even better. My fleet of 08/09's have all been weathered to some degree and re-numbered and have had extra detailing parts added including bufferbeam hoses and pipes, screw link couplings, air reservoirs and windscreen wipers. 08653 has also had waist height jumper cables added as per the prototype.
