Have we lost sight of what this hobby is about?  The vitriol and bile espoused by a number of self appointed’guardians’ of the hobby seem to come from the cess pit of Twitter brigade.  There is no place for it in this hobby.  Buy it, don’t buy it, but stop banging on about it.  It’s a model, in OO gauge, if it was that true to life you would have a cushioned seat in the cab with a miniature driver sipping a miniature cup of tea!  KR models should be applauded for producing this model where others would not dare.  Show me a model that is perfect or without compromises… no I didn’t think so.  
 

This hobby can be a beautiful distraction from the realities of life, some posters on here seem determined to bring it all down to a base level.  No doubt every word of mine will be rebutted in every way, crack on.  I for one will still support this great hobby including all manufacturers, offering constructive feedback where necessary to encourage and support future products.  

I cannot fathom the nay sayers who go onto this forum and say....nothing for me!  We should congratulate Hornby on a colourful and ambitious programme that will appeal to all corners of the hobby, young, old and in between.  I certainly will be making some purchases.  Roll on the next 100 years.
