15 coaches up a 40:1 hill, no problem! And factory-fitted lights. Triffic.

Which explains why Hattons had then for sale, years after the Hornby factory closed. Sorry I think I mean the Co-Bo. Not so sure why that had RH points, but never any left ones. ;-) Then there was the 110 Volt transformers. ;-P
