Yes they should get things right but hornby did say that they would only be producing these quickly so as to get some return on the lima deal. They were always going to be a Hornby Basic range until they could find time in the production to fully update them.
I am pretty sure that on the detail side of things Hornby have used pictures and most probably 1:1 stock and it just happens that on these examples this is how they looked.
It was the same with the Bachmann Limpet in Dutch livery with the intercity logo that wasn't believed to be true until they released the picture of the wagon with the logo on it.
Ok, some mistakes are made but they are only human after all and they can make mistakes.
Its This kind of criticism that takes the biscuit. We have superb quality r-t-r stock and some people still have the nerve to complain when some little bits of detail are missed off a model, that has been produced for years by another company, and the blame is still tagged on to Hornby even though Lima made the moulds wrong in the first place.
Sorry for the outburst but it is now off my chest.
Its NOT a personal attack on you Keith. Just the straw that broke the camels back so to say.
