Review: Hornby Class 50 Range from 2003 to 2020

Review of the Hornby Class 50 models from 2003 to 2020 including an out-of-box review of one of the DCC Sound versions and a comparison with another Class 50 model with custom DCC sounds added. Includes the usual close-up views, short running sessions of two sound models followed by the summary and scoring sections.

Note that there is a missing loco on the list of Class 50s in the video. It's a Kernow Special Edition, R3672 Class 50 50010 'Monarch' in BR large logo blue. Only 350 were made I believe.
