Hornby Brittannia

[rodent279]

I have a Hornby Brittannia, one of the earlier models from around the mid-late 1980's.

 

How detailable is it? Can it be turned into a reasonable model, given some detailing parts?

I've had more Hornby Britannias that any other class, each one traded up as an upgraded model appeared - and the current super-detail version really is as good as Hornby gets, in my view.

 

They are not cheap but there are plenty on the secondhand market and you'll find one at an affordable price if you are patient.

 

I would question whether the 1980s version is worth upgrading when the amount you would spend detailing it would come close to the sort of price you might pay for a nearly-new second hand current one which would be head and shoulders above anything you could do with yours, sadly.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide.
