Re: Holiday snaps: Steam Train Time Again

Mike,
Hornby is very much still in existence, strangely enough Märklin are in big financial trouble, a much too elaborate and cost-ineffective manufacturing and finishing process (sounds like Leica) .
I'm not sure that they build a model of Sir Nigel (112mph on a measured mile), but I think they've done Mallard (126 mph) and acouple of others - there are actually two of these in North America - Dwight D. Eisenhower in the USA and Domion of Canada, of course in Canada.

Amazing how nice those art deco Steamer still look!
