Well-pleased with depth-of-field in this desktop shot. Impressive model! zoom into the background far enough - Run!!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have been on record that Hornby's model makes a locomotive that looks appallingly ugly in photos look Quite Interesting. Robs photo confirms this. Of course, compared with a Castle or King... Edited December 30, 2021 by Hroth Tapped the wrong button.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not paranoid, you’ve just got an active mind that can see the outline of our Dark Side friend in the whiteish background of Ron’s photo… Like me I suppose, as I can see him lurking there too! I’ve got a bad feeling about this! Edited December 30, 2021 by Ruffnut Thorston Typo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farce … That’s a bit unfair, probably coloured by the experience of my first Hornby Thompson. Chamossaire is quite a nice model and I like the way Hornby has reflected the different boiler cladding plate arrangement. I’ll admit to being tempted but, you know, cost, competition and trailing wheels. Edited December 31, 2021 by No Decorum Qualifying a cheap jibe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted April 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 14, 2022 My favourite Hornby at the moment is the Peckett B2. I spent a very pleasant hour or two shunting on @Lambton58's plank with his first run Sherwood the other weekend and the B2's smooth running and slightly more secure pickup than its four-wheeled companions was very noticeable (DC so no stay-alives here). It also looks good - the rods are particularly fine (Bachmann please note). It isn't perfect (I'm aware of issues with the wheel profile and brittle pickups; also there's too much sideplay which can make coupling tiddly standard tension locks a chore) but as the basis for a small economical setup using mostly rtr components it is a very strong contender. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
