First Look: Bachmann's model of Duck the GWR Engine

Bachmann have sensationally divulged the first image of their long-awaited model of Duck the Great Western Engine.

Presented on the Hero of the Scales blog, the HO scale version of the incumbent character is shown to match his TV counterpart in immaculate detail.

Duck's creation is said to be part of the model company's pledge to continue crafting classic series characters rather than new faces from the Hit Entertainment timeline.

Earlier in August, Tower Hobbies and Wholesale both spilled on the intention to launch the product for the early part of next year.

Duck from Bachmann is expected to hit US model and hobby stores on January 30th 2013.
