Hornby 08s

I have since found one photo clear enough to suggest you are right, so question is why. does the outside frame mean that each weight has to balance a small part of the rods from the other side? The inside frame shunters do have the weights at 180.

Hi, Does the model have lighting. Someone I was speaking to at Glasgow last Feb seemed to think thet the new Hornby 08 had working lights. Has anyone got a definitive answer?

Cheers,

Rob.

Definitely not. I've had mine to bits today to fit a DCC decoder and there's no sign of any intent ever to have incoporated lights.

I've also no recollection of Hornby ever promising same.

Oh well, that's a shame. I love lighting up my locos.

Cheers,

Rob.

Not a clue, but then I only claim to be a photographer and a modeller of trains. I'm sure someone with experience of mechanical engineering can explain this.
