Hornby OO R3392TTS Railroad BR 40164 Class 40 1Co-Co1 Diesel Locomotive BR Blue with TTS Sound

Hornbys' Railroad range comprises models which are not fitted with the fine detailing applied to collectors models, making them more robust for handling and regular use on a layout. The Railroad class 40 bodyshell comes from the former Lima tooling, is generally accurate in dimensions and proportions and crisply moulded. The new Hornby motor bogie is a great improvment on the Lima drive mechanism, giving good running and making the Hornby model a good starting point for detailing projects.
Hornby have now added their budget-priced TTS sound system, bringing the deep throbbing of the engine and noted whistling of class 40s' turbo chargers which saw them gain the moniker of 'whistler' from enthusiasts to layouts everywhere.
