It is beginning to appear and seems pretty good quality. I haven't had a chance to check out what they run like but have seen examples of ex Jouef, Rivarossi and Lima products.

At work. In the interests of maintaining neutral status I will have to keep that location to myself!

[pedromorgan]

ok. but can i assume that they were review samples and not shop shelf models?

Has anyone actually seen them on an ordinary model shop shelf yet?

i have been to victors and they have a couple of bits of electrotren. they said they had ordered it but still no sign yet.

Having just checked Hattons website there doesn't seem to be any new Lima or Rivarossi product available there either. It's been a year since these products were posted on the Hornby International website. Looks like they have lost momentum with the Continental product.

Peter, I work for a retailer with whom I believe you have dealt. We currently have Lima Rheingold sets, a fair tump of Rivarossi Italian stock (deisel / electric locos and coaches), Jouef OCEM coaches, TEE coaches, diesels and electrics. We haven't seen any steam outline locos yet and the items we have received have been drawn from across the range.

[Doug]

Remember they were promised for 2004, then 2005 and now this year.

I've asked where these models are. and I've been told that I'll get some info at the end of the week.

 

[pedromorgan]

i think its all a big conspiricy and hornby didnt really take over lima and someone pocketed the millions and did a runner!
