Hi Mike, Nice video and review lovely looking loco's same about the issues you had but Hornby seem to be having a lot lately, makes you wary of buying them. Thanks for sharing. Regards George...

I think I may have seen this video before Mike but it was nice to see these models I think my favorite would be the Lima green one. David.

Thanks David, ah yes good old Edward Elgar!

A beautiful diesel loco.

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks, yes indeed a classic

We had exactly the same issue, ours had a buffer loose in the box, my only gripe with Hornby is the lack of important spares for the class, all the underframe details, spare louvres to match the loco colour and the metal plates under the cabs for the lights which are affected by Muzak are all not available and it’s rather frustrating. Nice review tho, enjoyed the video

Thanks, a real shame eh
