Hornby H Class (again)
Time to have another go at getting a H class in SECR livery, now the Hornby collectors club has the Bluebell one available. The H is one of the ideal motive power options for my Kent branch line based shunting plank. I tried to get 308 when it first came out, but Hornby short-changed the place I'd ordered it from, so my order got cancelled - I've been monitoring eBay since, but most sellers on there are chancing it at an average price of about £160 (the only one on there right now is £244!). I did have to join the collector club to order it, but still comes to £127 total, which is pretty much RRP for one of these, plus I get a free 0-4-0 to butcher into something completely different (maybe a crane tank this time? I'm already CAD modelling the Neilson one to see if I can make it 3D printable). I did think about doing a CAD model of the H class to add to my (currently very limited) range and 3D printing it, but I only want to model things that aren't available RTR as the detail won't be as good. Sometimes it's worth spending the money.
Maybe I should have ordered six and put the rest on eBay...
