Definitely something wrong there ! I was one of the lucky ones who got a perfectly working P2 which I really enjoy running. I was thinking about getting one of these "Scotsmans" (If there are any) but will put it on the back burner now. Its still good to see your layout though and I hope you are keeping well, all the best, Stewart PS I guess all this reflects the broken world we live in now !
Hi Stewart, I think 60103's water tank is only 3ml compared to 5ml of the P2. It is also fitted badly, which is why the smokebox door sticks out at the bottom and it leaks. Technology is fine when it works! Ah well, it's raining here......take care, all the best, Reinhard.
My Flying Scotsman runs perfectly see "Westfield IV" June update. As a result of this I have pre ordered the Hornby Black 5 Steam version from Rails of Sheffield for September.
Hi R, Hope all is well with Y, Keith & yourself. Am I correct that it's a Hornby TXS decoder fitted as that might explain the dreadful sounds as they can only make 3 sounds at anyone time? Also, I'm guessing that the "smoke" unit is one of the TRS Trains ones that uses water instead of oil? As you say, certainly VERY poor quality at a very high price! Look forward to catching up again after the "high season" Kindest regards Boa
Hi Boa, Right on all counts. K. bought this thing with the sole object of finding out how the TRS effort worked. Pity it didn't! Just his luck.. It seems a lot of them do. ATB.....R.

I'm happy yours does. As you can see, this one doesn't.

@@letzterinstanz Mind you, most of TRS stuff is designed for Zimo.
That’s not right try adjusting your cv’s Hornby has all the details
Hence I don’t buy any these days .. that sounds terrible..
It is becoming more and more an expensive luck of the draw, Dave. Not Good.
Awful. Everythings getting worse......
That sounds awful😮
That's because it is!
Absolutely terrible sound i can’t believe how bad it is. Wow Hornby really dropped the ball big time.
