I run my layout on Analogue. A lot of my older locomotives (and maybe more modern ones as well) are fitted with resisters ? To reduce TV interference. Since Radio and TV transmission has changed from Analogue to Digital are these little things redundant. Should I remove them ? Please don't blind me with science that I won't understand. Yes or No will suffice. thanks Stephen.

I would like Hornby to consider having a go at the Isle of Man narrow gauge line. Also London Underground deep tube stock from the 1950's as well as surface stock from the same period. Some RTR London Trams would also be nice. Lastly to do some early era Southern Region EMU's such as Bulleid 4-SUB, 4-LAV, 4-NOL, 4-COR, etc. There are lots of opportunities to make more coaches. There are lots of new locomotives being introduced that do not have appropriate coaches to haul. However what I expect is another version of Flying Scotsman and yet another version of the LNER A4 Mallard. Model railways is all about nostalgia and there are plenty of opportunities still for Hornby to explore and it's not all about locomotives. Regards Stephen.

Well you did ask. A 4mm scale BR(S) and a SR version of the Adams Radial 4-4-2T 4 mm scale Celestory coaches with raised moldings on the body shell. First World War Era 4mm scale coaches to match GWR City, S&D 7F, etc. 4mm scale Non Corridor coaches for branch line working. 4mm scale RTR 1960's Red Period London Underground Train, 1938 stock perhaps. 4mm scale Level crossing with working crossing gates 4mm scale Competitively priced and reliable working turntable SEE - its not a long list of locos. Regards Stephen.

Hello All, I am getting very confused about the Hornby SR & BR(S) Bogie B Passenger Brake Van. I missed out on the original release of the BR(S) version in BR Coaching Stock Green together with the SR Olive Green version - maybe it slipped out onto the market without much pre advertising. Since then it has been completely unobtainable in either guise that proves to me that Hornby under estimated the demand. Now it is to be re-released but without the option of the SR Olive Green Livery instead we are being offered BR(M) Maroon and BR TOPS Blue in addition to the original BR(S) version. I fail to see why you would not re-release both the original versions first, as you have a clear indicator that they would sell and either add the new colours later or do them all as part of the re-run. Why pick and choose additional liveries for no reason? Why not take the obvious easy route and just satisfy the original demand? I would have thought that the SR Olive Green livery would sell perfectly OK as they match the Maunsell Olive Green coaches. Either way the re-release has been postponed more times that I have had hot dinners. The latest promised delivery date has been and gone with no sign of any version at all but no doubt the asking price is increasing all the time. I guess I will have to go back to building the time consuming Ratio kits if I want to add to my collection. Hornby are really messing about with this non existent model. As some-one once said "It must be me". TBH I just don't know where Hornby are coming from, they say that they are sorting the supply chain problems out yet they continue to make unusual decisions about the liveries to be made available on re-releases. Happy Modelling, Stephen.
