I thought this one may appeal to you Super as it is very similar to some of the Japanese Tomy locomotives I've seen you post about in the past
There is no detail as such inside the cab. However the cab is easily removable as is the upper front body for engine maintenance. As such it would be very simple to add a driver or some other potential detail without having to carry out any 'surgery' to the model.
Otherwise the detail is pretty good which in some ways is quite surprising as this is quite an old Hornby model. This one is actually a 'Made in England' model, whereas the majority (if not all) current production was moved to China some years back (at least 15 years I believe - wow where does the time go).
When they moved production to China they re-released a lot of models or re-tooled them as 'super detail', this one is not in that class, but even so I think it looks the part for a little loco (it is only about 5" long )
Just out of curiosity I did a search for that model, it was actually produced in 1988 so that little loco is some 30 years old, who would believe it as it looks as good as new - its only when you have a close up photo you notice the dust, but that can soon be got rid of

Happily collecting things all my life...
