Its a lovely Model. @Georgeconna I just gave it it's first run and then back into the box, I plan to make a storage/display case for it with the four coaches and when this is done the driver n fireman will be attached. The box and packaging it came in is pretty good, so good at holding the models firm that I can see it getting damaged taking it in and out - A display case I think is the best solution and then I can look at it while stored on the wall Eoin Edited July 29, 2020 by murrayec 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeconna Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 LOL, I'm sure although its will be stuffed and mounted it will pop out every now and then for a run! Just to let you know there is a 3rd class coach coming out too. It would be a nice addition to the scene! https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/l-mr-open-third-class-carriage-era-1.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmie353 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Cool if they developed a DCC sound decoder for this, support it would require a exact replica to be made of the real one to record the sounds from.. Well they did make a couple of locos in the UK like Tornado so who knows what the future will bring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a functioning replica of Rocket, it's at the NRM in York (along with another non-functioning one) and I've had short trip behind her at York Railfest in 2004. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
