Toraly agree with you, hornbys mk4 is a disgrace, i returned all 8 lner models i received as they are just so poor in quality. There were lots of paint chips, and other paint defects like doors missing paint etc. Compared to hornbys brilliant new mk3 s these are as though they were made by a different manufacturer. Also i had to return three class 91 as all of them had dents from where the packaging comes into contact with the bodywork, seems like they were packed before the paint dried.

I agree with the cheap feel on the coach. It’s lacking something and the sticking coupling is like that if the mk3sd coaches- some fettling required. Loco is an excellent improvement on the old one though. I’m sure the full rake will look great though

Thanks for watching and your comment. It’s not giving me the wow feeling, it’s most certainly missing something in my opinion. It’s very light, the sticky coupling will be annoying, but nothings ever perfect I know! The locomotive looks stunning in my opinion and unfortunately not running in this video as I have no layout still, when tested on straight track run nicely each way :)

I was planning to get a couple of the MK4 coaches on birthday but I say the best coaches around at the moment are the Hornby MK3SD coaches

Unfortunately the mk3sd’s don’t go with the 91 and DVT tho, thanks for watching :)

They have only one coach available it’s stupid! I’ve ordered 9 LNER mk4’s but haven’t bothered with the intercity as running my 91002 with mk3 sleepers and HST DVT! Thanks for watching hopefully receive your coaches soon!

My MK4 arrived damaged and I'm awaiting a replacement but I'm encouraged that yours looks finished well. How is your 91002? On mine the black upper body paint is all cracked and crazed around the blunt end sides - is yours ok?

Hi Adam thanks for tuning in with us today. No way? What was damaged on the coach? Mine seems to be finished well, but as for new tooling it’s just been refinished slightly, the old mk4 GNER mallard coaches are still very good! My 91002 is there anything wrong with it, not that I’m aware off, as mentioned in the video the bits they got wrong, but 91002 is my favourite and on display at the moment. So sorry yours is damaged. I’ve had plenty of Hornby models that aren’t 100%. Latest was my LNER farewell HST the finish is not good for how much it bloody costs and the doors now no longer spring open! Sorry for waffling!

@@00VirginTrains1 Thanks for the reply - my MK4 had a lot of paint rubs, scratches and damaged glazing but appears to have been a one off that slipped through QC and was sent with the batch. Have a close look at your 91 - my black paint was really cracked when viewed in the light and it looks like others have been too - I didn't spot it until I had it in my hands looking at the running issues.
