I think it's one of Hornbys best, great detail, nice weight and a smooth and powerful motor. Not heard of any problems with them.

I've looked at Annex 2, most relevant seems to be.. Toys and their parts and, in the case of fixed toys, their anchorages, must have the requisite mechanical strength and, where appropriate, stability to withstand the stresses to which they are subjected during use without breaking or becoming liabl...

More likely they have used the wrong photo by mistake, I've seen them do that before.

It has now.

An interesting part of Hornby history.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1970s-Hornby-R310-Old-Margate-Production-Assembly-Line-Loco-Tampo-Mould-/263596124715?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=pvUZetDqDCA4V1cKJubwLuCU9Rc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc ...

Bigglesof266, I feel that may well be post of the year, and it's only April!

I have been wondering that bringing Lyndon Davies in from Oxford Models could be beginning of a merger/takeover.

Over £500 quid for a Murdoch!!

The S15 is one of Hornbys best and available for £80 at a Cornish deales. Buy one and run it, we won't tell anyone it's incorrect.

Yes that sounds about right. I ended up buying the model before the Railroad version with the sprung rear wheels, it runs just fine. Looks like Hornby have shot themselves in the foot this time, should have left well alone.

The reply I had from Hornby soid they were having new traction tyres (presumably thicker) made.No timescale given.

I am sure the moderators have better things to do than be bothered by a duplicated one line post, hardly War and Peace.
