435arkroyal Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Which is the better of the two Bachmann Or Hornby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 They are two different designs and, strictly speaking, the Bachmann version had been withdrawn by 1981 (the remainder had lost two windows and a door on the kitchen side to incorporate a buffet counter). The Bachmann model is very nice. I don't own any of the Hornby ones but from photographs the windows and general detailing seems just as good as the Bachmann ones. Any more thoughts from people who own both? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted April 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2021 The main difference from my point of view is that the Bachmann model has a close-coupling mechanism whereas the Hornby one does not. Hence I've only got the Bachmann version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
