We now have the next batch of models in Bachmann's Underground Ernie series for children. These are based on the computer generated television series about characters (human and train) that live on the London Underground system. In time for Christmas last year, we had the basic set of track, platforms and the two car train 'Circle' plus the figure of train controller, Ernie. This set was followed in the summer by four track packs and now we have further trains and a terminus station.
'Brooklyn' is one of five overseas visitors to the system and represents the New York Subway. The train is silver with four red bands down each side and 'USA' and an image of The Statue of Liberty printed onto the sides of the power car. The latter also has the face of 'Brooklyn' on the cab front and the representation of red sunglasses and a star-studded blue baseball cap. Like its predecessor, the eyes on the face move from side to side as the train moves.
