Hornby Golden Fleece

Recommended Posts

I ran in my R3994 Golden Fleece last night as a light engine and was very impressed with it. It ran smoothly, no bits fell off and I liked the crew and the firebox glow. I did not buy the tender driven version R2101 as I did not think it would be an improvement on the Hornby Dublo model introduced in 1959. I think that the new version is better than the Hornby Dublo model but I have yet to test their haulage capacity. The two pictures compare the models. I am sorry that I did not put the Hornby Dublo version on the track properly.

A much better proposition compared to some variants of the latest Hornby  Dublo GG releases.

Enjoy!
