Removed a/c Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just ordered this, not received yet. Wondering if anyone can give me some information on the coaches she would have pulled in this livery, Looks like MK1 Pullmans but I have been able to find very little about what type and how many. Not really bothered about having the exact names and number but would be nice to have a representation. So far I have found a Second class behind the loco and a BCK at the end, just don't know what comes in between ! Also can anyone tell me what these two coaches could possibly be. https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5508/14467650080_c3f04ce34d_b.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well I received it !! Very delicate, runs really well but my favourite parts are the seam down the length of the boiler and the daylight between the chassis and the tender body. This should not be happening on a £140 model !! I also received a DoG just a couple weeks earlier and in my mind it is a much better model, I can pick it up without kid gloves, runs well and has sound. TBH I am not surprised Hornby are in the mess they are in !! SMH ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly clear the tooling is knackered and QC isn't weeding out the duds. While people continue buying them in that state, there's no incentive to get it retooled. J.

robmcg Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just a note that this model is still for sale at Rails and probably other retailers, (no connection). Nearer UKP100 for we outside the EU too. I wonder how many are left, I think it was a 500 production run,. I like it, for what it's worth, and bought one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
