  1. Excellent ! ive only been waiting for....like, forever, for Hornby to release a Rf metals 60, but they obv cant be arsed.... so i shall be ordering the Metals one 🙂 they look fab.
  2. hi all, any reason why a 59005 cant be re-named and re-numbered into 59001 ?
  3. Absolute fantastic ! Me, like many other, were fed up of Hornby's lack of decent liveries / releases..... And this looks to be better than Hornby's version too. I just hope I can afford the 3 i want....
  4. For info purposes these are the sightings , and formations, i saw as a kid; 22/08/84 370006 + 007 ( Glasgow -Euston, 16:30 return) 48106 48602 49003 49001 48607 48503 48303 48406 48201 48107 01/04/85 370003 + 007 ( Glasgow -Euston, 16:30 return) 48103 48406 48604 49006 49003 48607 48503 48303 48201 48107 02/08/85 370001 + 003 (ecs to Crewe Electric) 48101 48601 48204 49005 49002 48603 48404 48103 48103
  5. Are Hornby adverse to doing a Trainload Metals class 60 ? ive only been waiting 10 years...
  6. What a monumental error with the lettering and logo in wrong place. Im gutted. I think its pretty poor to make such a basic mistake, especially when your working from photo's.
  7. i would like to see; 50043 in large logo 50030 in revised nse
  8. After reading bits of this topic and looking at pics i see that they do not even have destinaton blinds ! this is poor ! was tempted by the Midline one, not now....
  9. has anyone had a go at re-spraying / painting any containers ? I have too many Mearsk containers and want some other or some plain ones, after looking at pics from my main period 1987-1993 ive seen a lot of plain containers, some in a sort of faded red / burgundy.
  10. I cant guess what they will announce other than it will likely be mainly from post-2010 and pre-1980 stf....lol looking forward to this years class 90 and class 117 + 121 + 2HAP. however - just 1 of the following would make me happy.... class 101 2-car in regional railways class 81 class 45 flush front class 302, 303, 304, 309, 310 class 20's in BRT livery.
  11. some good suggestions...... these are mine ;-) 31/4 BR blue with headlight. 31/5 in Dutch 31/1 in Dutch, a namer like 'The Blackcountryman' 56019 in red stripe would be nice 60 in RF Metals (come on Hornby how long does it take) 87 in BR blue with high speed pantograph. 87 in early Intercity.
  12. yes 00 gauge. and yes i know these ferrywagons are different to the cargowaggons so different tooling required.
  13. absolutely fantastic news this is. me and my mate have been waiting for a model of this bus for years. and very happy you are doing the latter variants aswell as early, and possibly the similar Park Royal bodywork version to the MCW (?). I just hope you do all 4 main liveries; origional WMPTE blue & cream, West Midlands Travel blue & cream (80's), west midlands travel grey and blue (approx 1988-1992), and then the final Red stripe version. There are also many 2nd hand operators who bought these off WMT, some had large fleets such as Andrews of Sheffield, North Western, Merseyline.
  14. good try with the email to Oxford.....but there's no way he's going to bat an eye lid at this, its not in his interests....he's obviously not into trains and if Oxford goes tits up can just get a job elsewhere in sales & marketing.
  15. Been hoping for years you would do these after your previous excellent cargowaggons....? with both VTG and Tiphook livery variants... http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/vtgbr/h1571EE44#h4a8fb84
