Ive not seen rafts of negative comments or suggestions about TT120 apart from my own fwiw comment saying 3mm would have been my personal preference. Smaller than 00 but not as close to N as TT120 is.

So not sure if Hornby read these comments but what improvements would people like to see on future 87s? Personally a better metal pantograph like the Bachmann 90, closer attention to paint application and a better lighting suite including corridor lights.

To reduce an an 8 bay to a 7 bay, you cant simply lop one bay off and say job done...the other bays will still be incorrectly spaced plus what do use to fill the now created "cut gap". Nah ill pass on this. Im patient enough to wait for a rerun.its not life or death.

Then the wider spaced 1st class seatingv layout wouldnt align with the windows nor can i suggest would the toilets.

Indeed saw one once fetch £220. I aint paying that! I know the RRP on new stock is £95 but retailers dont have these TSOs for sale.

So no new Mk2fs announced so I thought I would check out Ebay and found a blue and grey TSO and within a matter of days its already up to £56! Ridiculous second hand prices.......hope Bachmann rerun these in Autumn otherwise theres no hope......somebodys paying the silly prices though.

And i thought we had already seen a mk1 RBR in blue and grey and executive?? Possibly under the Blue Riband branding.....

Maybe Bachmann could offer the white roof charter mk1s in a 4 pack .....

Mind you the mk1s get the new bogies with pick ups . Presume the interior mouldings have suitable cut outs across the numerous bulkheads to allow a circuit board to be installed.......

How much!!!!

Looking at last years Mk2f releases in N gauge and see the TSO's were both Midland running numbers so if we see a rerun in 00 I hope we get M numbers instead of E.

Should be a straight chassis swap with a dcc on board equivalent if youre referring to the Bachmann dcc on board set up......beyond that im not sure how easy it would be to cobble together this set up yourself. This is the frustrating thing with Bachmann and their coaches.

With the Class 31 in the Spring announcements and I dare say the vast Class 25 range will dominate tomorrows report I very much doubt an all new diesel will be announced....... Hate to say it but I would include electrics in that too for Branchline 00...... I suspect the headlines will be led by the Class 25 plus a few reliveries of a wagon or two and of course we will find out what models are to be available at launch from the new Mk1 coach tooling announced on Sunday. Maybe a Class 85 in N gauge???

Well i want one of them BSO(T)'s for sure.......hope to see those in the first run.i expect they will sell out on pre order. Would they all be ScR prefixed?

You got your wish Mark. A new Mk1 FO is coming!
