Ruffnut Thorston Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I wouldn’t think so....unless Hornby have sneakily re- released the old Lima version? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 There is a Hornby BR Class 90 Bo-Bo 90135 and it is Railroad, too. Probably just a simple error with loading the picture and not checking afterwards. Julian 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the power truck out of one and installed it in the other one, then wired the two motors in series and it ran quite well at reasonable speeds. The other became a dummy for double-shotting when I desired to do so. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the listing text is correct for the J50 photo... Quote BR Class 90 Bo Bo 90135 Era 8 Gauge :00 DCC Type :DCC Ready Operator/Livery :Early BR, Plain Black Class :J50 Designer :Sir Nigel Gresley Age Suitability 14+ Wheel Configuration :0-6-0T Our Hornby RailRoad collection provides a perfect entry into the exciting world of 00 gauge railway modelling. Designed to be less easily damaged, yet maintaining attractive detailing and accurate liveries, the range is ideal for both the younger enthusiast and experienced modeller. The Gresley designed J50 Class eventually comprised 102 locomotives, with design variations such as brakes, driving positions, boilers and bunker sizes resulting in four class parts. Serving across the LNER from Eastfield in Scotland, to Cambridge, where there was hard work to be done, a J50 was invariably on hand to do it. Built new in 1922 and 1924, twenty locomotives of the LNER J50 Class utilised a stock of second hand standard 4' 5" boilers, becoming J50/2 and by 1926 had become the company's Group Standard type. Fifty two more locomotives were built, thirty eight at Doncaster Works as J50/3 and fourteen at Gorton, as J50/4, between 1926 and 1939. The thirty GNR J23 locomotives from 1914-1919 were eventually re-classified by the LNER as J50/ 1s. It’s only the listing and details title heading (Class 90) that is wrong, along with the cut and pasted Hornby spiel about the Railroad range... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time the Hobbies Annual would have been a staple purchase each annual, along with the visit to Gamages with their railway catalogue. The description on the Hobbies site is correct but interestingly the price (inc P&P) is slightly higher than on e-bay. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, thank you, I had fallen into the trap of reading what was being referred to and not completed the job properly. It does rather look like some hasty posting, which got mixed half-way through the job. Which for my sins, I managed to do too! B****r!!

MrWolf Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I don't know about rare, I do remember the LMS 4F 0-6-0 there being about the most godawful thing on rails when I was a little kid. The magazine reviews weren't great. I think it was a big nail in the coffin of British outline HO. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Seller cncsports on eBay - what a chancer! Lima L149916 - Class 43 HST power car in Virgin livery BIN price of £69.99 Lima L149916 - Class 43 HST dummy power car and mk3 coach in Virgin livery BIN price of £69.99 So, basically, he has taken the power car from the set and sold it separately even listing the same Lima manufacturing number and so effectively wants £139.98 for the three car set! In the description, s/he says "unfortunately no box" which does puzzle me, as how does he know that all three items had the same number in the first place?! I'm in one of those moods - I think I shall message him/her!! HOURS OF FUN! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
