Hachette has made a large range of trains similar to the Hornby M series maybe 15 years ago. They cannot compare in anyway to the original ones, poor quality of clockwork mechanism, very light tin, the litho was not too bad.
They made many never was pieces, just inspired by Hornby products. Some collectors enjoy to modify the locos to electric ones by using original Hornby motors.
For me it is just Chinese junk but it is only a personal opinion…..
If you make a search through goggle you will see the entire line of models.
