  1. No catalogue number yet but looking back at the catalogue. I wonder if the "Mainline Express" Electric train set Era 7 (British Rail TOPS) 1971-1986 will be announced? I've always wondered what locomotive and rolling stock that'll be included? A Class 37, Class 47 (only if these are annouced when the train set will be announced) or a Class 50. Or maybe even a new tool different class diesel/electric locomotive? I reckon with a rake of BR MK1s? or BR MK2E or BR MK2F coaches.
  2. When phase one was annouced there was erroneous information of a BR HST train set. There is however a forthcoming future CrossCountry XC HST Train set in either phase two or three. (Neither was specified as to which phase).
  3. There are some Railway essentials line side accessories currently missing from the Hornby TT:120 range which I'd love to see introduced in phase 2 or onwards. Railway semaphore signals, home signal, home distant, junction distant junction home, single level crossing and a double level crossing with gates and modern barriers and trackside accessories with huts, telegraph poles, water crane, loading gauge, whistle sign and mile and gradient posts.
  4. I prefer the original live action models of Britt Allcrofts 1984 television adaptation for ITV! (I have the DVD releases) Even the 2000s CGI is an improvement the locomotives rolling stock etc look nothing like the originals unfortunately! I don't know why HIT Entertainment changed this! It looks more like Thomas and Friends meets Chuggington! The new 2020s television adaptation "Thomas and Friends All Engines Go", yes please go back to live action models! Also next year is the eightieth anniversary of "The Railway Series" of books (I have the 70th edition boxset of original mini books it's absolutely beautiful!) by Rev W Awdry 80th birthday in 2025. That should be interesting! I was disappointed that Hornby discontinued Thomas and Friends. Thankfully I did get the final run of models from 2015 and 2016 Thomas, (and the 70th matalic edition one) Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, troublesome trucks, Annie, Clarabel wagons pack 1 and 2 James coaches Gordon's coaches, Old Slow Coach etc.
  5. Ny home town of Newton Abbot! One of the Railway towns in England! Amazing photos of GNER HSTs!
  6. Wow I am impressed about this Locomotion No. 1 incredible! I am extremely very happy about this! Tiger on its own very nice! Nice to see the L&M Railway rolling stock will now be available separately! L&MR Royal Mail Coach L&MR 2nd Class Coach R40437 L&BR, No. 2 'Queen Adelaide's Saloon' - Era 1 I said these will probably be available separate back in 2023! Ill get the last two as I already have the Royal Mail coach! New new liveries I do like the GNER HST set with the MK3s Nice to see the Thompson Class L 1s back! RailRoad GWR, Class 1000 I guessed correctly! RailRoad Plus GWR, Parcels Car I guessed correctly! the rest again all nice new liveries. I do like the GWR, Loriot Y Machinery Truck with Load No. 2.! Edit: I have just heard the absolutely dreadful devastating news about Hatton's I want to say a huge thank to them. Most of my model railway including rolling stocks scenery and accessories! came from them! All of their staff and customer service has always been exceptional! I am very sad to see a beloved British retailer announce their closure I am very sorry to hear the loss of staff as well. what an absolutely awful start to this year! Gutted! 💔
  7. Thanks. Yes I did mention a few years I'd love to see the Class' 25 last produced in 2001, 29 last produced in 2000, 35 Hymek last produced in 2004?, 52 (Western) last produced in 2005, 58 last produced in 2006? 86 last produced in 2005, etc updated back into the RailRoad range.
  8. Hornby can release anything no matter what it is I am always impressed about it all! As I'm always guaranteed to be amazed the LNER Coronation coaches for example blew me away! So whatever new tool any steam any era priod etc, or of any diesel/electric locomotive from any era I'll be flabbergasted! All this aside I'd really love to see returns of long absences of any loco, DMU, EMU, rolling stock etc, including RailRoad, of anything with ten years or more back in the range! Furthermore what I really want to see is, a new tooled AC Electric BR Class 81 as a Hornby Dublo model or in the main range only if it is extremely super detailed with everything 100% authentic and accurate in terms of the detailing. With nothing missed out on it! It'll have to be the best ever produced with no faults or any missing details.
  9. I know there is a planned Cross Country XC HST train set to arrive in a future phase. But there was erroneous information when phase 1 was launched and now I want to see it actually being a train set! a Hornby TT:120 BR HST Train set. Two BR Class 43 power cars in original BR Blue Yellow livery with 2 x BR MK3 coaches. 1x Transformer, 1x Controller, 1x Rerailer, 1x 3rd Radius Starter Oval with Track Pack 1.
  10. Yes more late 1990s early 2000s Post Privatisation eras franchises of HSTs Great Western 'Merlin with the INTERCITY Swallow typeface on the Great Western Merlin on the MK3s!
  11. I have just received the annual new years range email. Asking us what we want/are hoping to see in the range.
  12. The last time Hornby produced a BR Class 142 pacer Railbus, was way back in 2012 and 2013. It was a Northern Class 142 Pacer, catalogue number R3140. Attached image. So another one is long overdue I think! Perhaps it would now be part of the RailRoad range now.
  13. I'd personally like to see their back catalogue of their diesel /electric classics of super detailed retooled models. As Bachmann and Hornby will both eventually be selling and producing super detailed BR Class 37s for example. So I would be surpised and I both wouldn't be surpised in the future to see these Hornby classics retooled :BR Classes 06, 20, 25, 29, 35 Hymek, 37, 47 (37 and 47 possibly arriving soon), 52 Western, 58, and 90.
