Maybe because the original Hornby ones were shorties. So enthusiasts wanting a longer train, would have purchased the Lima Mk3's. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby also had it (00), and Bachmann were I think already allowed to sell G but not 00 scale Thomas stuff. I don’t know how the Tomy (not Tomix) kids’ battery trains with blue plastic track fit into this either. So presumably they could have also licensed a separate manufacturer for N gauge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
