I have the highest regard for all my 9 Bachmann 9F's and I cleared out all the Hornby ones later buying the Crosti as it is different, so I'll try one of the new Hornby's and see for myself.
The all new Hornby 9F.
Currently being splashed in the 'Engine Shed', EP of the new 9F tooling.
But oh dear, I can see a readily discernable dimensional error in the photographs, and I expect this represents what is to be produced, as what are definitely new components which necessarily match the incorrect dimensions are shown.
The driven axle centres should all be spaced at the same dimension; the model doesn't replicate this. (Hornby have probably perpetuated the incorrect driven wheel base from their previous model.) For me this is a 'once seen, cannot be ignored' defect.
