Hornby Railroad R3171 P2 locomotive

[GWR-fan]

Just received this beauty courtesy of a recent "black Novemeber" sale on Amazon.  Purchased international shipping free for the sum of $170.00 Aud and delivered in less than seven days,  which is less than what I paid many years ago when the model was first released.    I was fortunate back then to receive a good model as at the time the three-pole motor supplied had a poor reputation leading many to fit five- pole motors minus the flywheel found on the stock three-pole version.

 

The model received was perfect and responded to the throttle input as well as any of the much more expensive premium models.  I am extremely impressed with this "Railroad" quality model.
