Hornby's new catalogue shows their old 9F loco in the Railroad range.
I understand from MRE mag's review, that this engine will have locomotive drive.
I have several questions, therefore:-
What PRICE will Hornby have to charge, bearing in mind, Bachmann's [obviously superior] 9F model?
[.e........given the discounters' priceing for the Bachmann model, how much lower will Hornby's 9F have to be priced, to make it a worthwhile consideration?]
plus......Doubtless there were dozens of articles, detailing kits, etc, produced to upgrade the old Hornby 9F?
Are these still available?
and...would it be actually worth while, buying and upgrading the Hornby Railroad model....rather than laying out for the Bachmann item?
