the bachmann class 159 is perfect for any moden layout! you can get it in fgw,swt and central trains ect.

we have the swt vertion one of the first to be realesed,you can't get thease in the shops now so if you want one have a look on ebay.
for a new one in the shops the price starts at around £65
the 159 has a motor in the mid coach so for dcc you need to get 3 chips for it.

220/221
the voyager is very like the 159 :no dcc motor in the middle so if your dcc one it takes one more decoder,lights,and same motor.
its avalible in virgin or crosscounty. the 221 can tilt and as i said the have lights the 220 will set you back £70 and the tilting 221 will set you back £100! the 221 is a 5 car unit and the 220 is a four car but if you buy the 220 set there is a car to buy for it as you only get 3 cars
overall:82%
great model but needs dcc and if you dcc it you need 3 decoders.
pulling power :46%
very heavy motor coach
yet finds it hard to pull
looks:90%
we recomend the virgin one for its strikeing coulor
