Vitrains Class 37. Mechanism seems very good only put off by yellowy plastic. £55
Heljan launching un numbered Class 47s also likely to be around £50 mark
Makes £105 Hornbys well over priced.
I've just got a Heljan 27. Lovely smooth runner. If the 47s are like this then I'll be picking up a few. Nicelypackaged too.
Hopefully vitrains will bring out more modern image locos which will help keep prices in check. They might want to start with a 56 and force Hornby to moderate its ridiculous price.Russell
i managed to pick uip two 56's over the weekend on ebay for just 74 quid ...both brand new in the boxes as well
