Hornby R60157 BR track research van 975667 – Bytesize Observations and Improvement

The finish and lining/ lettering application is excellent. Hornby can get it right sometimes and this looks spot on. However once on the track it suffers derailments from being too light.

Removal of the body is easy with 4 internal clips (1 on each corner) holding the body on. 

I’ve added 10g of lead over each axle , simply superglued onto the plastic chassis base. The body will click back into place with a little pressure on each corner.

The result is a much better rolling wagon that now doesn’t derail on the first set of points it encouters.
