Interesting how Chris Leigh and others at Model Rail have been trying out the Hornby Pendolino and not had the slow running issues. Its a fantastic high speed model with a 5 star rating although it is suggested that two power units may be required if there is a plan to run a 9 car set.
Hornby may be on a bit of an 0-4-4 or 4-4-0 roll at the moment given that it is a chassis that Bachmann do not have in their stable which has to be good news for fans of this type of loco and the poll may support this thinking.
One small item that did catch my eye was the review of the German narrow gauge book. Narrow gauge railways that appear from nowhere or are in the middle of the land that time forgot do have some appeal and it does seem that Germany is full of these. Its the one thing that might actually tempt me to visit Germany one day.
Happy modelling
