Feedback and overall on the model:
Very well detailed from the bogies undercarriage detail is prototypical to the real-life CT251. Bogies display an excellent level of details in the molds. Only some lacking details I believe is the colors on the bogies. Overall still very nice. The same for the coupler which has a small gimmick of rotating at 45 degrees. Movable
For interior is well done. Fully almost the same to the real CT251's interior. In addition, handgrips and handlebars are in place. Along with seats. Also with closer examination, there are perch seats at the front of the train cabin. Only drawbacks for realism are the seats and handgrips colours. They dont seem accurate to the real one as the last and leading cars have grey handgrips or grey and red seats. The reserve seats in the HO model are black.
Other than the above, the model is very prototypical to its real-life counterpart at 1:87 scale.
Hope Knackstop can produce more HO scale models in the future.
