  1. Hi Michael, a quick search of the Hornby shop answers your question. Its R4. https://uk.Hornby.com/products/curve-4th-radius-tt8006
  2. Anyone mentioned SAS: Red Notice yet? Another showing the Channel Tunnel entrance as bereft of OHLE but had some inside the tunnel, though at least they changed the name of the train to Eurostream! If you're thinking of watching it, don't bother, IMDB's 5 rating is about right! Not as bad as Bullet Train (2022) though.
  3. Surely you'd be better with a purpose built power bogie like Halling?
  4. There are several that have similar wheelbases/wheel diameters, but that question leads onto whether modellers are willing to accept the small discrepancies caused by doing a "one size fits all" chassis. Back in the 50s Triang did it in both TT3 and 00 without many complaints but these days? I suspect that most people would accept a compromise of a mm or so but there will be a small, but vocal, minority who will try to tear Hornby to pieces for even dare thinking of doing such a thing! I'd expect any 0-6-0Ts to be the same as the 08 which is centre axle driven.
  5. It is, TTe (or TTn2.5 or TTn30!), I've done three layouts in it, two of which have been in CM! Also N gauge equipment can be used for TTm (TTn3) as well. I have some Shapeways prints knocking around for that one. I found Z to be a bit of a s*d to get running correctly, especially in TTe where speeds are so much slower than you see in SG Z, at least that's where the Rokuhan stuff came in handy, they were nice, smooth, runners when I'd sorted out the controller. Quite honestly my operators and I were glad to get back to 9mm and 12mm gauges! Both show what can be done in TT, though, with railways in the scenery, Alber (the first one) was 6ft long and the other just under 11ft.
  6. Rokuhan is much cheaper than Marklin and just as good, the Japanese do seem to be able to produce stuff cheaper. But nowhere does it say that it's going to be an 0-6-0T... Just saying...
  7. J94 and Pannier have already been announced so can't be the "surprise" 0-6-0T and of all the other small tanks that's seen as the most likely. But as usual it's simply a guess, we'll see on 2 April.
  8. Re the Jinty, its the wrong scale, though, it's like saying there's an 00 version so why bother, it's irrelevant as we're discussing TT, not TT3 or 00. Personally I'd prefer a larger LMS tank, 2-6-4 sized, even the BR standard version would be nice.
  9. Maybe, but I'd be surprised if they let it out with old markings on it. Gives a bad impression when involved in an accident.
  10. Someone on FB will be happy about that, he was having a big moan about it the other day. Its Hornby's fault that Peco fishplates won't fit Hornby track apparently...
  11. Only 17 more days of speculation to go... Not sure I can cope... 🙄 🤣
  12. Ok, we shall wait and see.
  13. It might, but as I said I'd rather they concentrate on getting the new stuff out. Sets like that are more for future to sell stuff that needs shifting from their warehouse. I suspect that a "toy" set may come first.
  14. I doubt they'd be much of a seller, but you never know, the HST would be an obvious one. I'm more interested in them expanding their range rather than messing around introducing more sets. TBH there's been little benefit in the club since all the discounts went at the end of the first 12 months, I'm only still in it because it's free.
  15. It's on an S bend by the look of it, so must have missed the low bridge sign. As both buses seem to be from the same company, Lothian, you'd have thought that their drivers would have been reminded about the bridge after the first bash, at least that one was empty, unlike the first incident.
  16. Yes, no points announced as yet, though.
  17. Worth adding that Kato will be launching some tight radius 009 Unitrack later this year, same radius as their N track but with 009 size sleepers and spacing.
  18. Blimey, they're not cheap! I think I'll stick with the BTTB VT135 for my conversion!!
  19. I was simply asking if the two videos were directly comparable, Bachmann were defending the integrity of an employee which, at least to me, shows a caring employer, were Rapido? If not, then "Rapido 1 Bachmann 0" is rather a pointless comment, if they were than I feel the score should be the other way round.
  20. I am not going to go and find that video and add to his coffers, but in fairness to Bachmann and their employee, was it directly comparable, i.e. did it poke fun at someone's disability?
  21. Maybe, maybe not, I see it more as an extension of that sort of behaviour with the added bonus (and incentive) that they will get paid for doing it.
  22. Every forum I've ever been on has posts from people who have "something" against a particular manufacturer and will do anything to "express" their views. If you haven't seen that you really must have kept your head very low!
