The close-coupling bars are awesome! I'm pretty sure that they came not only with the Tara's, but the whole Project 42 run.
They couple the wagons more closely, they run more smoothly, and look less obtrusive than TLC's.

IRM 071's in 2025!!!
Who'd have thunk it?
Great to hear that there are so many kids out there getting into the hobby. They'll be snapping up any 201's, Mk4's, 071's, 111's and 22000's that might hit the market!
