As an owner of one Lima, and two Hornby Railroad (the 70s tooling) 08s, I think the best news for me is the likely pushing of more of the current Bachman and modern Hornby ones on to the second hand market at a sensible price :D I don't think you'll see change from 200 quid for even the most basic model in the range of this new one. Looks great, but probably over detailed for normal model railway viewing distances.

If the conrods dont bend like the present ones then I'm in full sound!
