Rebuilt Scot runs well, but doesn't look like a 'REBUILT SCOT'!
Chimney capuchon (rim) is too narrow making the chimney appear too tall.
Both Topfeed and smoke-deflectors
need slight re-shaping.
Disappointing after some excellent Hornby recent issues ( except underpowered cl.73s etc.)
The faults will probably appear on the Rebuilt Patriots, so Hornby needs to correct models before the next 2008 batch.
Bachmann/Mainline models, although inferior in running qualities still 'look right' despite some minor flaws.
