Indeed, sorely missed. You wonder whether Barrow Hill will ever get one working again, even if only to run along a short test track. It would be great to hear one again (and record it!).
@soundseeker63 Yes it is, sort of. It's a Hornby 86 underframe and bogie sideframes with the motor and gear towers from a Heljan 33. It runs great but the Hornby bogies are shorter than scale by several mm. If I were doing it now, I'd use the Heljan 86 underframe, the bogies of which are the correct length. Judging by all the pictures I've looked at, the 81 & 86 had identical bogies.
No, it's not Howes sound, it's mine. Send me a PM and I'll give you details how to get these sounds into your model.

Little short of superb, those early classes are really missed.

Very smart looking set. Love the sounds. Is that 81 based on an 86 chassis/motor?
