Just bought one of these from eBay at a decent price. I love 60’s and have currently 3 Hornby ones two of which have sound (YouChoos/TTS) and now 4 Lima ones. The Lima ones are all converted to DCC (or will be) with lighting. I am also experimenting with remotoring using susu motors but also going to buy at least one Bullant to see the difference. You can really tidy up the Lima version and make it comparable with a little time and effort.
