LocomotionatShildon Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) The LMS Black Five is a versatile mixed traffic design, which was seen widely across all regions of Britain's railways. It is a popular class of locomotive with 18 examples preserved in the UK, including No.5000.In conjunction with Hornby we have produced Black Five No.5000 of the National Collection. No.5000 was the first of the production build from Crewe Works, but not the first to enter service. This was No.5020, which Vulcan Foundry managed to construct earlier.The locomotive is finished in LMS pre-war Lined Black with a gloss finish. Only 250 have been produced and it is bound to be a popular model, so don't miss out on your chance to add it to your collection. Expected delivery to our customers will be from WC 9/10/17 £169 + £7.50 Postage Click here to Order Now http://www.locomotionmodels.com/national-collection-in-miniature/hornbynrm-exclusive-r3596-lms-black-5-class-4-6-0.htm Edited October 7, 2017 by LocomotionatShildon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2017 Mmm while generally liking gloss, not sure it works on this one. Looks like lots of Black 5 limited editions coming. I think there's a Rails one too . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairburn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Mmm while generally liking gloss, not sure it works on this one. Looks like lots of Black 5 limited editions coming. I think there's a Rails one too . Last time I was at the NRM 5000 was highly polished and sitting at the head of the Royal Train selection - probably more a museum livery than a workaday Black 5. But I've ordered one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Yes the rails one is the BR version of this exact loco. 45000 unlined. Edited October 7, 2017 by Hilux5972 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leander Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hasn't there already been a NRM limited edition produced of No 5000 about 12 years ago? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that was just Hornbys own NRM Range of locos, and it wasn’t gloss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9402 Fredrick Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I really want to get this before it runs out, but idk if I can get one without having to initially pay for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hadyn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It looks really nice in the plastic, rather than on the screen. One where the gloss works for an ex-works loco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Mmm while generally liking gloss, not sure it works on this one. Looks like lots of Black 5 limited editions coming. I think there's a Rails one too . It says that only 250 have been produced but not that it’s a limited edition. I suppose that leaves the option open for more if Shildon is besieged by frustrated placard-waving modellers and collectors. I also feel uncomfortable at the thought of only 250 being produced. Does that mean that the market is contracting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Between Sheffield and Locomotion doing the same locos but in different liveries/eras, that makes 500 which is still a healthy run. But it is better to be cautious than to over produce. Re-runs will have to wait a while though and tied in with when Hornby run that particular class of loco again. While runs are smaller, there is more out there than ever so hard to gauge if the market is shrinking. When we see less new items being announced overall (or new items being cancelled), then we can say it is shrinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then it may not be shrinking, simply availability had expanded to a level that the market did not sustain. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2017 The brutal equation is fewer punters of a certain age meets rising costs.So I think shrinkage is an inevitability.It may be that certain percentages of a pre ordered run have been offered to Rails and the NRM to defray costs and the perils of over production.Hornby produced a Black 5 only a couple of years ago remember and now there are three mainstream new varieties soon to be on the market together with what seems to be a rush of new models/reruns etc...all of which eats into cashflow immediately. A delicate balancing act... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 All valid comments. Yet more products at yet higher prices. I just have to be selective. In this case, I have selected. I want a Black 5 with an original boiler. I most certainly do not want TTS. The gloss is attractive and I have fond memories of munching sandwiches whilst admiring 5000 at Shildon and then cabbing it. LMS livery gilds the lily. For me, Black 5s have always been overshadowed by the Jubilees but seeing 5000 convinced me that the Black ’Uns have an elegance of their own. The price premium isn’t huge either. Thank you, NRM!

Alex Like I said earlier, it looks really good when you see it for real. And 5000 herself is in gloss now, as she was working on the SVR and was when new or ex works.

Personally I think it’s a great addition to Models. Yes it may not look quite right due to the whole scaling down issue, but the real things are shiny so why shouldn't our models be?

I agree that the gloss works if you are modelling it as preserved or brand new/ex-works, but to me a locomotive needs to look as they did while working. It goes back to the classic weather/don't weather argument people in our hobby do so love. Some people consider it almost blasphemy to weather a loco, especially one in an ornate/express livery, but just look at photos taken back even before BR and how many clean locos do you see running around working? Personally I cannot stand pristine locos in my collection and have all of them weathered to some degree to look worked. Even my Bachmann C Class in SECR livery will get a light weathering at some point. And so for me the gloss does not work, but I can still see why people do want it. And yes I know this is a model of the preserved loco, but it probably would have carried the livery during it's working life and that is how I would have it.

Coach bogie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It agree in preserved condition. as built it had a vacuum pump attached to the bottom slidebar http://www.railuk.info/gallery/thumbnail4.php?src=../gallery/steam/lms/m5000.jpg Which the original LMS Hornby model was fitted with. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&biw=1680&bih=919&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Hornby+lms+black+5&oq=Hornby+lms+black+5&gs_l=psy-ab.3...186191.186915.0.187410.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.TjRoV-Oi-4A#imgrc=XHJ3zSVwfAhzxM: Anorak moment over!
