Today saw the release of Hornby's newest attempt at polishing an old turd, 55001. Now Lima made some old shit, don't get me wrong, but the shittiest of the shit was the Deltic, it's about a scale 6,000 ft too short (slight exaggeration) and it looked like it suffered from learning difficulties. To add insult to injury the aunts at Lima gave her a ruddy pancake motor that came straight out of Queen Victoria's DC powered monster-cock vibe.
Then when Lima died its long overdue death and finescale modellers of the world rejoiced as the factory was burned to the ground with every single class 42 ever made by them used as fuel everyone thought we'd seen the back of the pasta-enthusiast aunts.
BUT NO
Some kunt had been sucking on too much Margate rock and decided to introduce a range of polished turds under the banner of 'Hornby Railroad;' this wasn't a bad idea - cheap and cheerful models for detailers and kids alike. Problem is the daft aunts have priced them mentally, in fact so mentally that much more advanced products from competitors are near enough the same price.
Take the newest turd to arrive in the 80s style packaging, 55001 the RRP is £44, FOLK OFF YOU UTTER DAFT AUNTS, look at the glass in it, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
Anyone who buys this model should be pelted in the streets with Lima class 09 chassis weights.
Daft aunts.
Are any other viewers personally affronted by the mass re-release of amateurish pieces of shite such as this one, under the Hornby Railroad banner? Perhaps your girlfriend of eleven years accidentally sat on the Class 37 with Brush Type 4 bogies and reached climax in such a way that you were never able to achieve. And now she's left you for an O-gauge Heljan Crompton. The bitch.
