It did and it was very naff

, looks promising I have great hopes for the improved Hornby version, I bought one of the original versions when they first came out, how I laugh now all the drive was shot to pieces upon taking delivery, how we miss Lima

Just read MRE this morning and they are quoting that the Lima Class 67 crossed with a Hornby Class 50. A new chassis (separate fuel tank/weight section that screws onto the chassis), 5-pole skew wound motor, better motor mounts, 'DCC ready', lights, pick ups on all wheels and Class 50 style gear trains on both bogies driving all axles, all sounds very hopeful

Anything has to be better than the Lima
