I have one that I got for ten or twelve quid a while back. He says it's a 'good runner' in the current ad, which is surprising, as they're generally a bit graunchy, with plastic gears. Every axle ( and there's eight ) does pick up and it can be made to run fairly well with a bit of care, but the gears will always be floppy. The blue windows don't do it any favours, but are easily changed. There is a central light, which is 'ducted' to the lamps at either end.
