QUOTE (Doug @ 25 Jan 2008, 22:03) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>So they are complaining about the loco tender gap and a lack of directional lighting.
Quite rightly so, especially with brand new tooling, there is absolutely no excuse at all, sorry Doug, I don't buy the "Hornby locos are designed for tight radius curves" either. This is not a "Hornby" loco as the UK knows it - it is Hornby International AKA Rivarossi.
All the european locmotives I have with close coupling between the locomotive & tender will run quite happily on R1 curves.
Ship spoilt by a haporth of tar.
