It looks rather splendid in that retro green. Imagine a 201 in a retro silver livery pulling a rake of them.

Looks great.

Jays, was there any RTR models of the foreign variants I wonder?? would have made a good donor back before we had our own stuff.

Jaysus the 121 was bigger than U2 by the looks of it. . .

The Iraqi's had them also. I suppose the design was licensed out by GM.

From the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976). Shot in Navan for some reason . . . . .

Any chance ye could do one in these SNCF colours . . . .it really happened . . .

If I ever come across an old hornby 9f as a restoration project a might give it this look, unique to say the least.

It's a complicated company with a complicated history. The mixed feelings are understandable as their output is very uneven. All said though, I'm delighted to see Airfix get a sales boost. Hornby has become a custodian of a lot of those older and much loved brands.

Sales up globally, good news all round. https://chicago.suntimes.com/business/2021/2/10/22276171/covid-pandemic-scale-models-model-making-miniature-trains-coronavirus-airfix-hornby-peco

I've alway thought a little documentary about Jouef in Ireland would be great, I should get off my arse and think about making it.

I did one myself before, which might be one you are think of, but it wasn't great . . .

Nice, would love an OO parochial house. Somebody needs to do one . . . . .
