Percy in BR Black? - Hornby 0-4-0 Unboxing

doomscrolling once again, I find a cheap NEW model for even cheaper, and its one I wanted for a while ever since it was reintroduced in Hornby's catalogue without a face, as I was very curious about the smokebox door.

69th like! I'm actually really excited to see how you modify it!
Edit: just subbed!

[@learn_with_gern]

£14 Shipped is a ridiculously good price.
I have one of these, got it brand new from Hampshire Models for £38 and I love it! Impressed with the speed just as you were and the Lined BR Black suits the model so well especially if you model BR. Never gonna sell mine.

Would love to see more unboxing videos

Definitely the best part about this is that you got a free coupling hook inside the motor.
Also yeah Hornby is weird like literally every single 0-4-0 I’ve got they’re all turbo speed for no reason at all.

[@SodorTrain1225]

I might just buy one of these BR black "Percys" to make an actual Percy, since I don't have the heart to (potentially) ruin an official one.
Side Note: The custom 0-4-0 "E2" looks pretty good!

[@numptypootis8012]

On the contrary an official Hornby Percy and modern 0-4-0 chassis if you can afford it, that's better value for money than spending £40 on this thkng

[@Damocles178]

Lol for some reason I heard "Percy you dropped your face! I'll get you a new one!" in Eddy's voice. Just that moment in Ed Edd 'n Eddy sprung to mind. That aside it is a surprisingly nice looking model. It's the sort of thing that might be right at home as an industrial loco. After all industrial locos were so varied in Britain that it would be hard to separate fact from fiction.

“I can’t cut straight, I’m a bit bisexual. Real.” Is crazy

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Glad to hear BR didn't scrap him.
