In light of recent discussions, I'm not sure Hornby think in terms of 'needing' a presence in any particular market sector, I suspect the Limby 101 will roll on as long as it keeps selling, just as other Limby models that are duplicated do
i'm puzzled. Why do you need sprung buffers on a 4mm DMU?
No, it probably isnt worth it for a twin, but if they were to go on to 3 or 4 car sets, it would come into its own. Something that would really move the short frame DMU game on IMO is a proper 'NER quad', with an MCL each end and the van in the trailer. Froth alert...
I'm sure there were others Steve, but I think it would date from around that 1968/69 kinda time - they probably came south as replacements for withdrawn Lightweights
