Just wondering who among the esteemed (esteamed?) forumites has bought one of the new Piko BR64 2-6-2s? Any experiences/opinions/actual user reviews of it that anyone would care to share?

Yesterday after much humming and hah-ing I finally bit the bullet and ordered one from a dealer in Germany (via eBay.de of course), it's coming with a Massoth XLS already installed.... all brand new, total cost about £480 plus just £10 for DHL shipping - allowing a very conservative £160-ish for the value of the XLS, that means the loco itself only cost about £320! :D

I'll do a review and some pics after it's arrived, but would be very interested in hearing from existing owners of them in the meantime.

Just noticed Tony's review and decoder fitting posts, should have looked at that before posting my question.... ;)
But still very interested to hear from any others?
