Looking at some older Lima models on eBay.
What are they like in terms of detail compared to similar Hornby?
From the descriptions I believe they are several years old -specifically Class 52 and Class 20 models.
Are they fairly reliable runners?

Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for the reply.
They currently are very cheap so might be worth the risk. I am mainly into N scale but have a small OO track I want to add a few engines too fairly cheaply.
I have seen the Bachmann and heljan models listed online and they do look very nice and one supplier has the Class 52 for about £54 but I have not seen the Class 20 as cheap as £40?

Thanks for the link. I had actually found the Class 52 on there but not the 20 - will have another look. At that price will leave the Lima models I think

Are hattons pretty reliable to deal with?
Their prices seem good in most cases.
