34theletterbetweenB&D Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi can anyone tell me when Hornby upgraded the A4 to super detail Just a small cautionary note: I think the 'super detail' tag is associated with the last half dozen years of Margate design and production, late 1990s, early 2000's. These were dated tender drive locos in the case of the A3 and A4 pacifics, superficially tarted up with some improved detailing. The subsequent 2004 and onward Gresley pacific loco drive introductions, completely newly tooled and manufactured in China are in a different class, a significant advance over the 'super detail' product in most respects.
