Its a shame that they fudged the liveries for most of the models and used a one size fits all model. The model itself is brilliant, but it would have been nice if they'd have catered for some basic detail variation to better represent certain locomotives and were a bit more careful with researching the liveries.

Hi Matt just watched your review of the Dapol Hawthorn Leslie. I have ordered one from Rails of Sheffield with sound l have also asked them to weather it. I have ordered the spider black model. Really looking forward to getting mine now having seen your review it has got me more excited to get mine. Regards Ron @ Willenhall Parkway

They are nice models, well designed good weight, however the cylinders, what you call a draincock is actually a gravity fed lubricator pot, which Dapol/China have fitted upside down.

A good overall review of this loco here Matt, right off the bat though I will say that small industrial tank engines are of very little interest to me, compared to a big express passenger locomotive these smaller industrial type locomotives are just not as exciting to me compared to a big express passenger locomotive like for example a Peppercorn Class A1 which my most recent model was a Bachmann Tornado, onto the model you have here though from some other reviews I have seen dapol do seem to have made a nice one overall, the liver put on this one is very nice, I don’t have any NCB liveried locos myself but my dad has a J94 in N gauge and that is in a NCB blue livery, quite amazing how Dapol have have managed to fit sound into this considering how small it is, a great review overall here Matt but as I say I think it’s very unlikely for one of these to be added to my collection, it just falls into a category of loco that I don’t have much interest in.

Hmm, bit shonky on some of the details, bit clunky looking around where the chassis meets the buffer beams, no attempt to represent the frames being two plates just a block of a chassis in there. Personal taste as to that being a bit meh. The sprung buffers are nice compared to say, the hornby Peckett but the hornby Peckett does a better job elsewhere in terms of looks. Either way, another great edition to the variety of small shunters out there. Should scrub up nicely once those few easily resolved issues are dealt with.

Only a few hours ago, I watched Sam's Trains' review of the exact same model. He chose to buy the cheaper analogue version. These small saddle tank engines are deceptively powerful. Also very beautiful if I may say so. Try operating the little 0-4-0 with a longish line of wagons and a Guard's Van. She is full of surprises, believe you, me.

The NCB blue Hawthorne Leslie is a gorgeous little locomotive. My current layout is Walmington cum Yealmington, both the television name of the place and the actual name of the location. It’s a small village in West Sussex. The layout was going to be a “Dad’s Army” layout until I purchased a Class 101 diesel multiple unit.

Well you got to give dapol 10 out of 10 for that best model yet though you mentioned the lining and the magnet which hasn't spoilt the locomotive that much, as for its run around the layout and it's sounds it is like if your watching the real loco back in the days of steam. The inside of the cap with that fire glow looks truly amazing indeed.

Hi Matt. If this helps. The Class 390 Pendolino trains were built by Alstom in 2002/2003 in Italy and they were extended to 11 car sets with some remaining 9 car formations. The Hornby model was announced in 2007 and was released in 2008 if I recall correctly. Virgin Trains West Coast used to haul them from Crewe to Holyhead with Class 57's. I believe they now use Class 221's on the Holyhead-Euston services but this might have changed since 2017 when I last lived in England.

The Pendolino looks great on ‘Jubilee Road’, Matt. Swinging around your layout’s broad curves it looks totally at home. I have a Hornby Pride Pendolino. While the motor car is happy to run around my layout - whose worst curves are 3rd radius - it always derails when pulling even one coach. So now it’s only ever on static display. Although I’ve travelled on Pendolinos numerous times, my current favourite train is the Transport for Wales Cardiff-Manchester service. A real loco (Class 67), comfort of a Mk4 1st Class coach, excellent value cooked lunch and superb scenery - there’s nothing which beats it as a timetabled main line service right now.
