Class 390 Pendolino Dapol first attempted a model of this class a number of years ago. It was quite crude with very poor running qualities. The paint finish had a grainy feel to it but it did tilt. Additional cars were available in a separate pack. Hornby later produced a much better model of the Pendolino with additional cars available to bring the unit up to a full set. Despite only having one powered car, the motor can pull a full length unit. Hornby also fitted a titling mechanism to the model. I originally had the Dapol version, but was quite disappointed with it and traded it in for the current Hornby version. |
