Thats a fine looking engine Merlin. Looks like a black Thomas.
RE: Hornby 0-4-0s - Nigels - 11-07-2017
Those little Hornby engines are superb models Merlin, not only do they look good, but they are very well made and just keep running, very reliable little trains
RE: Hornby 0-4-0s - Chrizzly - 11-07-2017
I can't deny that. I have an 0-4-0 from 1969 and it still runs with no maintenance!
RE: Hornby 0-4-0s - Nigels - 11-07-2017
Yeah, I got probably 6 or more that I bought over the years, never had a problem with any of them yet. Mind you for the most part I don't think I've ever had a hornby fail on me, at very worst just needed some minor maintenance...
The starter sets with one of the 0-4-0's, some wagons or coaches with an oval of track, controller etc... can usually be found for £50 or less and can't be recommended more highly as an entry level set for a young boy. Yet if they get into the hobby years later it will still be compatible

I have a Hornby Class E2 (Thomas' Basis!). I don't have any track to run it on, but I can tell that it's a good runner.

I haven't bought any Hornby/Triang for a couple of years now, I have 5 of these (2 blue and 2 red, one red one has a chromed dome, more modern I think) I think this is the oldest and rarest as it only came in a certain set for a limited time. I put new decals on it, serviced the motor and cleaned it all up. Lovely little loco.

very nice ucwepn never thought youd be on one of my my threads
RE: Hornby 0-4-0s - Nigels - 11-12-2017
Very nice little loco Ucewpn, did you repaint it as well? I'm just curious as the chassis under the train looks to be a dark green (unless its the pic)
