bachmann are always late with loco releases and never tell the truth about why that has happened also hornby are way way ahead, with the HVR 1 and 2, the live steam sets

at least hornby give good answers and do not leave complaints desks unmanned

I have bought some Bachmann locos without problems and the quality is much higher and the choice for modern locos is better

Most of Hormby and Limas models were more 'toylike' and so I go for Bachmann, though some Hornby is very good, but too expensive for me! :(

Why do you need to know which one is better. They both have their own different specialities.
