We know that it's going to sell well....after all it's Hobson's choice if you want a R-T-R Star. Hornby know this ,so why go the extra mile, when "that'll do" suffices ? That is what disappoints the most. Grasping defeat from the jaws of victory or just a bean counter's hollow victory ? Isn't that attitude why British industry died a death in the late 70's ? Just a thought......

Even in the gathering darkness....a chink of light appears <cough> I was thinking of purchasing the Steam ltd version but in view of the backwards manufacturing ethic of Hornby ,I'll just stick to my pre-ordered meat and two veg version which is more optimistically priced. This is the last Hornby pre-order from me......bring back the Grange standards please!
