Excellent model, removed the fan, fitted a sound decoder and turned the lights on. Front marker lights are blue!

A Hornby staple
I would be happy if Hornby brought out a version or two every year. On this one the number font looks too large but I will be renumbering anyway and probably apply a gloss finish. Good quality although on mine one of the front LEDs is a bit misaligned.A Hornby staple. Worth the extra price over the Railroad one.
