Hi Guys and Gals here we have the Trackmaster 2 version of Royal Spencer from thecalled Two wheels good.\r
\r
So this is the first TM2 Spencer in my collection and I have to say it looks rather good until you look at the coach, Im not a coach hater! I have a full compliment of lovely coaches of all types in my collection and can remember the golden days of TOMY and Trackmaster coaches, this is rather a letdown but I guess its the only thing for now in the TM2 range apart from the new Annie and Clarabel. Its basically a truck with stickers all over it to make it look like a coach. The coach feels very cheap indeed I couldnt see the Duke and Dutchess ridding in a cattle truck masquerading as a pullman coach. Nonetheless it will still generate a small amount of excitement if this happens to be your first coach if you are new to Trackmaster :).\r

Spencer looks fantastic and at times its easy to forget that all TM2 trains are the same underneath with his streamlined swoopy shape he looks very sharp indeed. The graphics on Spencer are printed on to the plastic which looks really good against his silver paint. He runs very well also, I had to do the usual modification to get him to run on my blue track which is filing down the ivation/locking tab underneath. Lightness is an issue with these trains and I try to add weight when I can because I dont need them to climb ridiculous mountain anytime soon :).\r
\r
If you already have a TM2 Spencer then I would give this a miss (the coach isnt enough reason to buy in my opinion) but if you need to add a spencer to your collection then this is a good one to buy.\r
\r
I give this Trackmaster 2 Royal Spencer a 7/10\r
The coach made it lose points for sure but. this is otherwise a great looking engine that would do any railway proud!\r
\r
More reviews are coming soon!\r

Thanks for watching!
