Model Railway Hornby Locomotive Reviews

Worth Buying - This is an average model. The model has limitations and does not have a full range of mechanical or detailing features. For a railway model to be rated as "Worth Buying" a model must score between 4 and 7. Class 92 EWS Rating (R2354A/B) Rating 6/10 Good Model, nice detailing.

I have wanted one of these models for many years, but now I have had a close look at one I am a little disappointed. The detailing is good but compared to the Hornby class 56 (2005) it pale in comparison. Like the hornby class 56 the front is detailed well with wipers, horns, lights and numbering, but no where near to the level of the class 56. This may be because the 56 has got more fictional features on the front than the much more modern class 92.

Hornby Class 92 EWS R2354A/B Picture

This model has Hornby’s five pole ringfield motor and so has good slow speed control and overall top speed. It also comes with pantograph (non-working), working front lights and cab lights. This model also comes with a set of two replacement metal pantograph tops. This is a good model and I will be buying one for my collection. Its only down sides is its lack of interior cab detail and a cab crew. This loco is used for hauling freight through the Channel Tunnel.
