Hornby R3743 | Class 60 Diesel Locomotive | BR Sub Sector | 60015 Bow Fell | OO Gauge | Review | HD
9Here is the first model train review to come of July 2021 and this one is the fourth model train that I got back in June 2021 for my 41st birthday. This is a Hornby Class 60 Diesel Locomotive and it is the 7th Class 60 model train that I have (I have 8 in total at the time this video was done). This one is in the BR/British Rail Sub Sector Triple Grey livery and is numbered as 60015 named as "Bow Fell" as delivered to British Rail as new back then.
60015 is still in active service and was overhauled in 2012 as part of the "Super Sixty" overhaul programme and now wear the DB large logo although at the current time this video was made. 60015 is currently unnamed in its present livery. This may well change and the real locomotive could be named in the future. So therefore another name is not be to ruled out. As far as I am aware. "Bow Fell" is the only name that 60015 has currently worn as where other members of the class have carried multiple names.
This model train was released in 2019 although unlike the two of the three 2020 models I covered earlier this year and 60100 in 2020. This is a much better made model and the model train has no damage unlike the other two models I last covered. Hornby have done a good job on this version and the performance is grand and the handling is great as expected. The model train has 8 pin DCC input, sprung buffers, opening cab doors and other nice features like cab interior and many etched parts although most are plastic. It does make the model very nice. This one is in OO gauge and my final score is fair and justified.
Overall Rating: 9/10.
