Lima HL2041 | NTV Italo | ETR575 | High Speed Train | Train Pack | HO Scale | Review | HD
56Sorry, the language is in English as I do not speak Italian. This is my review of the Hornby Lima HL2041 Train Pack and it is my very first Italian model train pack that has joined my growing fleet. The model is very well presented in a foam tray that protects the model when not in use and the artwork on the box is a nice touch as well. The model on the other hand, could have been better though and I will explain why. The things that let this otherwise superb model down is that there is no DCC interface, there is no directional lighting and also the major let down of this model train pack is that the windows are painted on the units in the pack and there is no interior either. Its a shame because the styling, the colours and the packaging are the top key points that I like about this model train. The running of this model train is sharp as well as the full set will move pretty fast at 35% of the power from the Gaugemaster Model D Train Controller which makes this model train a bit of a rocket really. Its still a nice model and great for entry level into the HO scale model trains if you like Italian model trains or are just stepping into the HO continental range from the usual British OO gauge model trains.
