Generally we're quite spoiled for brilliant models in this hobby so it really takes a lot to blow my socks off. I think the Dapol Hawthorn Leslie has done just that though! This small 0-4-0 industrial saddle tank steam engine really has it all and is available for just £99. In a time where model prices are moving ever higher, the Dapol Hawthorn Leslie really does show that the manufacturers can still put out a fantastic model for a decent price.
