Thomas vs. Thomas

Helping mum sort out some her harage over the weekend and found my old Thomas - I got the set for my 4th birthday making it 28 years old. Set up a test loop, and after a juddery start he runs better than my son's brand new Percy and Thomas, and some other locos I have.

Comparing old British made and new Chinese made, I'm genuinely surprised at what little difference hornby have made in nearly 30 years - the only noticeable difference is tue lack of traction tyres on the new.

Order a few spare parts and he should be as good as new :)
