Some more information on Hornby's Nord Pacifics. Of course we know that Hornby cheated by providing 4 not 6 driving wheels. But they were quite accurate when it came to producing their final version, because it was numbered 3.1290. That number was the last of the 1931 3.1251-3.1290 batch of "Super Pacifics". Here are two photos of my 3.1290. The other Hornby locomotives in the photos are the very rare Canadian Pacific 2800 and an Argentine Export 4-4-2. Lew
