Hi All
I've just recieved from Hattons a new Hornby A3 in blue (split from a set) and gave it a good run on the club layout last night. This is the seventh version of the new A1/3 I've collected and among them there's one dog, two with annoying clicky valve gear ( apparantly incureable), three are generally good, but this blue one is really exceptional, no parts have fallen off (that really is something you know) & it runs perfectly quietly without any hesitation or suggestion of tightness in the running gear and it has plenty of power as well.
All too often we're on here explaining our difficulties with certain models, so I thought I'd just let you know that among all the duds and averages a few real gems get through the quality control system as well,I wonder if I've got the first one off the production line after everone at the factory was just given a bonus......who knows?
Cheers
