To be honest Chris I don't know, I assume it is very clever painting, but it is the best I've seen yet.  The recent Hornby OO ones have improved greatly, but I don't think even they are as good as these.  They are awesome in my opinion, worth every penny Smile

I know what you mean, the ones Hornby produced in OO in the last couple of years have improved and now almost look like wood, but not to this level of detail.  It's not just the painted wood effect which is awesome, its the lining detail around some of the panels on the doors etc...  If I had the room (and the money) boy would I like to have a layout to run these bad boys on, but until I win the lottery I guess they will just be awesome display pieces Smile

Sure do Super, I'm so glad I bought a set of 3, (two 3rd class 'corridor' versions and the composite brake I posted pictures of).  Somehow I'm going to have to figure out someway to have the full set of locomotive and 3 carriages on display - maybe a long shelf with a custom acrylic front/cover.  Mind you that would need to be some 96" (8') long to achieve that so it may be a while till that happens.  Until then it will probably be the loco + a carriage or two on a tiered platform on tracks in a display cabinet - I think my main two are wide enough just about lol!
Happily collecting things all my life... Big Grin
