British Railways, 60163 Tornado 'The Aberdonian' Train Pack - Era 11

Fastest locomotive I own, outpacing my A4 significantly. Runs smoothly, haven't had a problem with it. The coaches also run smooth. They'll roll like they're weightless. This is my best Hornby set for sure

DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.

Not bad but few small details loose in box and terrible delivery packaging.Sent back first order due to damage and just received new order arrived undamaged but still the packaging was horrendous.

Beautiful model

First of all, this is an excellent value for money train package. The Tornado locomotive itself is good quality and runs superbly on the track. The carriages themselve are of equal quality and construction and detail. The train was supplied by Cheltenham Model Centre. It arrived a week before the estimated delivery date and was well packaged. Delighted to receiving the delivery early, l was slighty disappointed when l unpacked the train to find one of the carriage couplings missing (hence 4 stars instead of 5). While this has nothing to do with Cheltenham Model Centre and more to with Hornby's quality control, l contacted Cheltenham Model Centre. They asked me to provide photos of the missing part and they would see what they could do, which l did but l"m still waiting to hear back from them. However, don't let my slight disappointment from putting you off buying what is an excellent model train and gives you more bang for your buck if you were just buying a locomotive for an equivalent price. Regarding the review, l don't know what the stretch or sheerness ratings have to do with a model train, so l haven't rated them. All-in-all a good product for the price. I hope this review is helpful.
