Has anyone else noticed what a complete cock-up Hornby have made with their 'new'
Mk3 TGS coach for the HST. I have seen the BR blue and grey version and quite frankly the original Lima one is actually more accurate!
For some reason Hornby have swapped the original and correct blue seats for white which is now obviously wrong. Why? Additionally the model still retains its buffers. Why didn't they remove them? Hornby, get this into your heads: HSTs DO NOT HAVE BUFFERS!!!
Also the grey is too dark and should wrap around the corners of the doors as on the real train and the rest of Hornby's BR blue and grey Mk3 HST coaches.
Aswell the corridor connecting doors have been painted grey, they should be yellow! And why do it at all when the rest of their Mk3 models have been left un-painted!
For a famous train that has been in service since 1976 you would have thought Hornby would have made more of an effort and to better blend in another manufacturers tooling with their own existing coaches.
Every HST has a Trailer Guards Standard coach - coach A. I would advise other modellers to stick with the Lima models. OK so the coaches aren't flush glazed but at least they all match! And the Lima Power cars were always so much better looking than Hornby's chunky 'clockwork' ones.
