40+ years later two of the locos that I sold have re-appeared. "They have stopped working John....can you fix them?" I knew I shouldn't have offered that 50 year guarantee

"Cardiff Castle" is a Hornby Dublo 2-rail loco and I think it was quite a good model in it's day. The horrible looking blue thing is supposed to be a North British Type 2 diesel and was made by the French Playcraft company. Anyone who moans about trivial detail errors in todays models should think themselves lucky
