There's been a lot of swearing at this end whilst photographing it for review with that, the couplings and internal lighting. Have Hornby actually provided a review sample?

You need to contact Pfizer for that unless Hornby found any lying around when their offices were down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, jonnyuk said: Harsh, its not a bad model No but quite a few puzzling design choices and some poor assembly and too many faulty capacitors. I was chatting to a shop owner this morning who has had returns waiting over a month with Hornby and the rep had others waiting over two months with W1’s so far. Hornby is not doing a good job overall and making life very hard for retailers on sales and repairs. Fortunately for them it’s good enough if you get a good one but hardly leading the field. It’s a good model let down by a merely adequate execution of the mechanism and electrics. Edited February 25, 2022 by PaulRhB 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a lesser model I'd just accept 'it is what it is' but the frustration with this is 'it isn't what it could have been'.

LNERLAR Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Having scrolled through the topic I’ve not seen the image shown of the train split at Heaton Car sheds in Newcastle on Colin Alexander’s Flickr page, trying to link the image but proving problematic.
