I believe that some of the front end detail was missed but the model is basically sound but as i don't model anything that recent i won't be getting one besides they are UGLY locos
Hornby 67
you can see at once it started as a Lima model but it run's very well after working out how to
pull the body off I've fitted a DCC chip there is a lot of room inside so the lighting may be worked
on later but for the price £62 a very nice loco

My Hornby 67 only has white front lights, no rear reds.
Its a balance, if you fit a lighting kit to your Lima 67 then you get better lights.
However, buy the Hornby one and get a better paint finish, 5 pole DCC socketed motor that hardly makes a noise and is very smooth, combined with better wheels.
Or buy a Hornby one and a lighting kit and get the ultimate

I don't agree at all!
Just my opinion.

I strongly suspect there won't be a decent all-new class 67 from Hornby at all now (well at least for the next five or more years).
Hornby have been releasing one or two all-new diesel models a year to the new high standard (cl's 50, 31, 08/09, 60 ).
The major types they will probably tackle next include the 37, 47, 56, 58 and HST power cars.
The ex-Lima types announced so far are, 67, 59, 73 and 121 (DMU's are generally different as they are more like a train pack- different price point etc
.
That lot combined would only have taken 5 years to release and we would have much better models as a result.
I'd love Bachmann to wade in with a class 59 and 67 of their own. That would set the cat amongst the pidgeons!

I'd also like Hornby to do the class 40 to the current high standard too!

I think a class67 should be taken on by Heljan but they must improve the lighting system
