Model Railway Scenery Review - Bicycles

Hornby Skaledale Bicycles – R8679            Rating 3/10

Review: The Skaledale bicycles come in a pack of two which looked very realistic when looking at the picture on the packaging.

I found it very disappointing to look at the actual bicycles produced. Both bicycles wheels were not round and it was hard to define the tyre from the mud guard when the picture on the packaged bicycles was defined clearly. The painting of the pedals and chain was completed poorly with some of the silver paint going onto the frame and some of the frame paint work going onto the tyre. The wicker basket adds character to the bicycles.

The bicycles close up do not look very good but from a distance they do not look as bad as you cannot see the flaws.

These bicycles would need to be lent up against a building as they are not free-standing or alternatively you could glue them upright.
