From Miniature to BIG

Another of my Hornby pre-orders has just arrived this morning, a new version of the 'Hush Hush' LNER locomotive which includes a DCC decoder and Steam Generator.  I won't include loads of pictures of the loco as if you check back through this thread you'll find my post about the original release when it came out and which already resides in my collection.  

You may wonder why I wanted this when I already have a 'standard' version of this.  Well quite simply this loco which tends to be a 'marmite' design in terms of looks and livery is one that I really love and the chance to add a version with a sound decoder and steam generator as standard was simply too tempting.

I have included a couple of shots though as it looks to my eyes that they have improved the finish of the livery even better this time round making it even more handsome than the original version.  What I've also included are a bunch of shots of the documentation that comes with it that illustrates how the decoder and steam generator function.

Enjoy!!
