Iliketransport Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hello everyone,This should be interesting for both me and anyone else considering buying the model.Question for someone who has the set to answer: Is the set the Original hornby tool with the visible clips and bad mould? Or is it Ex-Lima? Or is it another all together?Any help will be appreciated!Thanks,Iwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carltonf Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi Iwan. I don't know for certain, and I haven't seen the set in the flesh, but looking at the image on the box, it looks like the original Hornby moulding. The tell-tale sign, I believe, are the mounting points - the one below the door, made to look like a step certainly looks like the Hornby model. I believe the Lima version had little lugs on the inside of the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carltonf Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'll take that back. Hattons have some good views of the actual model, and those mounting slots aren't there, so I would now say these are the ex-Lima models! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 We've had this discussion before, back in January 2019 (For future readers): Hornby Forum - New GWR HST set. According to JeremiahBunyan in the final comment on page 2, in that discussion, he said that the tooling will be the ex-Lima, but how true that is, I don't know. I assume he contacted Hornby Hobbies for that answer. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliketransport Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Ah right, thanks for the replies! This seems very strange! I guess to get a certain answer we'll have to wait for reviews to come out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The train set has been released now, so I am sure it won't take long for reviews on YouTube to come out, of it! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think they are worth the money, at not much more than £100.00. Yes, it's an older and ex-Lima Models tooling, but when you consider the more up-to-date train packs of the two power cars only from Hornby cost a lot more than that, over £200.00 new, it's worth. The expensive models have a lot more detail are a lt more delicate however. I really do think the new GWR High Speed Train Set is worth the money.
