Hornby 00 Ruston & Hornsby diesel.


The much awaited 4 wheel R&H diesel has recently arrived.

From the box a superb runner with or without the match truck. This is clip and plug attached and is easily separated and re-assembled.

However, I have a problem. I can understand a 03 0-6-0 DM having a match truck attached for track recognition reasons but would an industrial diesel be similarly treated?

The match truck appears to be an ex Mainline or Dapol moulding so a replacement body was found at Warminster for the princely sum of a pound. A tarpaulined load was added and I think it looks more workmanlike.
