The HO Bachman Duck looks just like Duck in the classic series he is fantastic he is a really good runner in my opinion his one of the best Thomas Bachman trains he goes great with the other Thomas engines I recommend this DuckDuck the Great Western Engine has been a fan favorite for as long as I can remember, and the fans had been wanting his model for years before it's release. All of the comments on Duck here seem really positive, so I've decided to give my two cents.I received my Duck model on time, new in package, and without a single scratch or problem to be seen... That is, until I took a closer look. Duck had come with some kind of dirt on his tanks and part of his running board. I have tried countless times to remove it, but with no success. However, it isn't too noticeable and may even make the model look a bit more realistic, so I'll give it a pass. So why did I deduct one star from the poop pannier tank? Well, the answer is actually his eye mechanism.As I'm sure most of you already know, Duck and all of the Bachmann Thomas & Friends characters have clever eye mechanisms that make their eyes move left-to-right as they puff along the track. Duck, however, has a slight problem: his eyes move all the way to the right, but don't complete the cycle when going left. When Duck tries to look left, his eyes stop midway through the cycle, leaving the eyes looking all wonky with his left eye completing the cycle while his right eye stops just after reaching the center. I can push the eyes around a bit with my fingers which should not happen with Bachmann's models, and I've experienced the same problem with Oliver the Great Western Engine. (These troublesome Great Western engines, I'll tell you what.)Despite it's flaws, this is a great model and I highly recommend purchasing it if you're a collector of the Bachmann Thomas & Friends range of toys. He looks just like his television/model series counterpart from the wheel arrangement all the way to the perfect recreation of his season 7 model's face.Costo mucho que llegara pero al fin llego y es perfectoI Love Thomas, but I wish the face on the trains are centered so that the face don't come off. I like Duck so make him betterThis is one of the most realistic pieces of Bachmann yet. As a matter of fact, I liked it so much that I want to purchase another one for my miniature collection, because I'm jealous of my grandson's piece. He won't let me have his. Bachmann and Amazon never let me down.Duck’s motor is somehow weak when I test run him.The face was not attached on BOTH Bachmann HO Scale model Ducks we received. We returned the first without opening, and got another one also with the face off. Opened this one to see if we could attach the face, which we did, but the engine didn't run at all! Very disappointed and upset with both the seller and the manufacturer.this is a great model it is very accurate to the original Thomas and friends live action model i recommendEl tren es muy bonito, sin duda alguna, sin embargo en cuanto llegó se le cayeron uno pequeños resortes que trae y fue imposible recuperarlos por lo diminutos que son y sin ellos no hay movimiento de la locomotora, y un juguete de mas de dos mil pesos para que en cuanto lo recibimos se estropeara pues deja mucho que desear.Husband loves it
