Hornby offers a variety of locomotive for personal choice and yet maintaining quality in all the variants. The engines were famously known as ‘Terriers’ due to the distinctive 'bark' of their exhaust beat. It is designed to haul commuter trains on the heavily congested lines in south and south-east london, as well as operating through the marc isambard brunel designed thames tunnel. It offers other colors and railway names, but this bodiam terrier is really sharp in the blue paint scheme. It runs well and is very heavy.
This loco is smaller than your basic ho trains, but this one is a real on the track, good slow creeper also. It is used for most of the company’s commuter trains. It runs very well, nice and slow when needed, fast enough for you to worry about it launching off the track on curves. The diecast running plate really helps it to have a great weight and pulling power.
