Your set is good, but they haven't made a tanker with a face yet, maybe a possible candidate for truck 4 or 5............

But yet again they don't make Oliver or Toad ethier. But since they made a van, well cattle car, with a face I guess the troublesome tanker, as I named it, would be good as truck  4/5.

that was a spin off idea too but I forgot about it and I was sayin if there was a set that was my idea for it + look at the episode there is a troublesome tanker so yeah + it could be exclusive to the set

The Hornby Duck is a bad model; it uses a tooling that dates to the 1970s.

    Yeah, I can tell you that. I have him ::) ;)
sorry for double post but we must refrain from critisizing them further as they can't respond it says so in the forum code of conduct so yeah ;)

We had a discussion about this awhile ago. Hornby doesn't really care much for our minority of opinions, and they still get a majority control of the UK market, so I'd say it's fair game. Besides, different opinions and choosing one company over another based on which product is better encourages a Free Market and competition. I hope it ends up encouraging Hornby to improve their older products (which their products like Stepney and Oliver are stunning in quality for Thomas models, in a good way!). ;)

Their Pecry isn't the worst either.

I'll agree. The body has a unique tooling that I think has a nice appeal to it.

They're just too much like the original RW series ones, rather than the TV show. Though some of the faces are excellently crafted.

Which is the goal of their models. It brings them some individuality, like what ERTL did.

       I always had a liking to Hornby Edward, and as Sparks said, Hornby Stepney and Oliver are stunning models! Detail is excellent on them!

                            I also like hornby Thomas, (as you know) he is closer to the RWS
Are you ready for Dover Valley's Facelift?
