mick Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 HORNBY R4418 PULLMAN BAR CAR THE NEW CENTURY BAR Another item of rolling stock that has been packed away since the day it was purchased and yet another classic example of the very highest quality miniature engineering from Hornby. As with the Observation Car, the cost of manufacturing unique models must be extremely high although I am sure that there are many components of the New Century Bar that are common to the wide range of Pullman coaches currently available. Even so, the modest price for such high quality is more than worth it for the level of detail on offer here. The scroll printing of the coach name on the coach side is very crisp and clear. Hornby have their critics when it comes to their interpretation of interior curtains on certain coaches but it's such a simple solution that in my eyes looks every bit the part. Perhaps the entire coach may look a bit too uniform but this has come a long way from my earlier days in the model railway hobby. The younger modeller's of today don't know just how lucky they are!
