The Caley single is my favourite type of steam loco (even though i'm an Aussie). But this model is just horrible, it is a true abomination!!
How could you do this to such a classic loco design Hornby!!!? Shame on you Hornby, shame on you.

the only thing i would buy from hornby is the dcc elite computer controlled system, i certainly would never buy any of their trains, this video proves my point how bad they can be from hornby.

@TheSaint491 Or, to my knowledge, that's what happened I should add.
-
@KubicaAlonso123 There's a reason why it looks so similar my good man: It's because it basically IS the old triang model (or to be more concise, the updated hornby model from the 1980's) that has been repainted. It's about as cynical a marketing ploy as Hornby has ever done, personally.

lol from the looks of it, I would say that most of the railroad range locos have better detail than this. Great review
-
My 40 year old steam loco (a B12 in BR livery) has that kind of Loco-Tender coupling and it is very good
-
I have this loco and it is one of the most beautiful loco's i have ever seen. I agree that it shouldn't be called super detail but it's still nice. And after some extra running in, it runs perfectly! And you hardly notice the strange tender connection.

@SuperJimjoe railroad engines look like the premium engines compaired to that
-
Its not even average detail, its RAILROAD detail!

@connorwarren1996 - £50 to £60 I think. Can't remember now.

This model looks identical to the Triang model I have from the '60s (Single peice tender, same couplings, everything.) The model from 'The Caledonian' train pack looks much better tbh. Surely Hornby could release the locomotive from that pack on its own to replace it.

@KubicaAlonso123 - who knows, maybe in time they well release it again, much improved!
