I got the locos back from Hornby yesterday and I can honestly say I am not impressed with them.
They don't appear to have actually looked at any of the locos, infact the only difference in the contents is 12 couplings, 6 medium width, 6 full width. If it was a known problem, why could they not just send me the couplings.
In the end I had a £17 postage bill for a set of couplings I could probably have bought for £3!
Then I put them in the NEM pockets and low and behold there was no change on the 60s, still derailing, worse still, I can't get them out again.
The up side? I now know what the problem is, the couplings are catching the body on the 60s, thus are fixed by taking a file to the coupling and the corners of the 'plough'. Although they still don't pull the Rudds I have.
