Very nice models you have! I had an old version of the flying Scotsman LNER Livery from Hornby, it had 4 LNER coaches, but I’m currently planning on selling it because I have a bigger Marklin layout than a Hornby one. While the Hornby BR Flying Scotsman has a glossier paint and is faster than the Marklin, I don’t really like its whistle sound, the Marklin is more realistic. Also, the Marklin has this blue plate on top that reads “The Flying Scotsman”. But of course this shouldn’t change your opinion! Enjoy both your models!
Is the Märklin truly 1:87? It doesn’t look any smaller than the Hornby 1:76. How does their quality compare? I didn’t buy the Märklin because I already own the Hornby model and many OO carriages.
1) The Märklin is truly 1:87 and smaller than the Hornby one. 2) The Märklin quality is by far much better than the Hornby one. I own many H0 models (Märklin, Roco,…) and many OO models (Hornby, Bachmann,…). Overall, the quality of the OO models is a disaster: many models are manufactured in cheap plastic, details and painting are a mess, engines keep running off the tracks, engines need constant maintenance and care, most of the models are coming only in analog mode or digital but then with very few options,… 😔
@@PierreMaerklinFan It seems to be a combination of poor design and manufacturing. If you buy Rapido it’s a different matter… I also own many Märklin Trix Roco and Fleischmann (HO) models. The last Fleischmann HO sound locos were brilliant!!!
I can only concur: Hornby is junk, Bachmann UK is much better and Lima is surprisingly good. And nothing beats Märklin for their quality, although Roco is almost comparable. I don’t have may older Fleischmann stuff, but what I is great.
My bank account!
Ahhhhh
