If you read the text, you would have seen:

"Donald and Douglas have so far been my most fave projects, both models have been entirely built from scratch and run on a pair of Hornby 0-6-0 motors, they have been well oiled ands run smoothly."

I will add that these two are grossly overscale in terms of height, something I know Bachmann will not cock up on ;)

Plus the materials they're made out of looks quite different to those Bachmann seems to use. Plus you can see where it's been painted, whereas our Donald and Douglas (when they arrive) will have a flawless coat :P I have to say the faces look pretty awesome. Very close to the originals.

TOMY faces I presume. I give credit to Daniel, the maker of these and MANY more. He's even made Harvey. For a modeling project, he has done well.
