Bachmann CLASS 24/0 DIFFERENCIES

[RBC]

Can anyone advise if the latest Bachmann Class 24035 tooling is any different from the Model Zone Ltd Edition model a few years back of RDB 968007, both shown as 21 pin DCC. 

A couple of retailers advertise 24035 as a new tooling loco, apart from weathering and number is there actually any difference between these two.

Body/chassis detailing, do both have directional and cab lights etc ??

Looking at photos online, the Modelzone version is the old tooling, the latest releases are completely different to a much better standard, similar to the 24/1 with headcode box.

 

The old tooling was available with both 8 and 21 pin dcc sockets, I have both and from memory only the 21 pin one has lights.

Adding to giz's post, have a good look at the shape of the roof over the cab front. The new tooling has a much better curve to it than the old.

Thanks guys.

That's convinced me to go for the newer version.

And finally, chassis/motor wise any differences between the old and new 21 pin versions.
