Model Forum / General / Railroads / February 2005100 ton tanker
Which is the better model, the Hornby 100 ton tanker or the Lima one? I personally think its the Hornby one but I am no expert on "modern" stuff generally being a steam man. FWIW, I think the Hornby is far better - the Lima one always looked too continental for my liking.

The Hornby one suffers from bogies leftover from a Triang Transcontinental coach from the early 1960s- I'd have thought they'd have retooled them by now. Both are more-or-less spot-on dimensionally, the Lima one having bogies somewhat closer to the prototype, pivotted on their centres rather than in the somewhat curious Hornby manner. Brian I must have been thinking about 'one of the other ones' Brian. Unable to pin down a picture of either Lima model at the mo to check. Dave. |
