A Bachmann 'Thomas' loco with a proper smokebox door......NO.

That's nice, especially in the brown...

Nice to see Charlie Insley's loco loco in production after he won the 40th anniversary chalenge.

Sorry, but it's not brown but instead it is described as maroon

Minitrains should have gone to SpecSavers - it is a very light brown! The lining on it is excellent. A nice little loco

The box has maroon printed on it ?

Something in translation ?

Marron is French for chestnut (a light brown)

Perhaps a spell checker came into play and Marron became Maroon.

Is it DCC compatible?

There is no socket for a DCC decoder and fitting one you will lose the warrantee.

This is what Minitrains say:

If you modify one of our products you do this at your own risk.
Any modification of the locomotive voids all warranties.
Always test a locomotive before you modify it.
After a modification a free of charge repair or warranty replacement is not possible.

However noting the above as I think it uses the Krauss chassis and the Minitrains web site has details of fitting DDC to a Krauss.
