Hornby Dublo 1963 model railways catalogue full look through from Mangley Town  

Awww…Price 1D…childhood memories 😊…Nice little breakdown train that too! Many thanks mate 👍🙂

I always wondered if there was a Hornby dublo 1964 catalogue because I've been trying to find one. Enjoyable video to watch

The trains were OO scale but the track was HO scale. The original Hornby Dublo by Meccano Ltd made some strange choices. Their first 2-rail model, ,the SR R1 0-6-0T, had all been withdrawn by the tine the model came to market. I believe their last duties were as Folkstone Harbour bankers before being replaced by GW 5700 pannier tanks and that is the model that Honrby should have produced. Another odd choice was the Metrovic Co-Bo. Famous for working the Cricklewood- Glasgow "Condor" containerised freight but most people would never have seen one.. Their chronic unreliability saw them replaced by Black 5s until Class 24s could be provided for the "Condor". The Class 24 would have been a much better choice as they had a much wider geographical spread.and would have gone well with the Class 20 which was a good model. The Deltic was rushed to market before the livery had been decided. It was too short , some detail was incorrect and the first batch were produced in an uninspiring plain green livery. Best steam loco was the Bulleid light pacific followed by the 8F, the Castle and the BR STD 2-6-4 T. the A4 and Stanier pacific were long in the tooth and the N2 0-6-2T was crude.Super detail rolling stock was good Working breakdown crane was very good. A GW 0-6-2T 56xx class "valleys" tank loco was planned but never made it into production.
