It is also limited to BR era layouts only; anyone like myself who is more interested in grouping or pre-grouping isn't going to want one.

 

Why is it limited to BR Layouts? I have 2 No. in LNER livery which Hornby have released - Thompson had the O4's rebuilt as O1's 1944-49?

I own a full rake and it ran without slipping when hauled by the latest Hornby Princess Elizabeth  - on flat baseboards with standard 4th radius curves.  Not tried it with a streamlined princess coronation yet as I don't own one currently. the rake does look really good when running together.

I've finally succumbed and ordered the DCC sound version! Better start saving the pennies up!

I'm still hoping for 6256 in 1946 black.

Do I stay patient or buy a BR one & re-spray it?

 

I am hoping for this to be done as well, but I could do with it not appearing for a couple of years - until I have the funds!

Placed my order at lunch for the LNER green version - that's me almost spent for the year! Don't tell the wife!

Yes, I got that email too - August it appears to be. But saying that...this time last year, I had an identical email in my inbox, save for August 2011 was the date...!

 

It's not a matter of life or death of course, but it is intriguing the number of models which have jumped the queue ahead of the B17, including the B1. I'm half expecting the O1 to appear before the B17. It couldn't, could it...?!

 

Well it could be - hattons just e-mailed me again to say the B17 is now due for release end of september 2012! Gives me more time to track down some 52'6" carriages to go with it.....

[Peterborough North]

I think I read somewhere they are now due in August Simon? I agree though that all has gone very quiet once again.

 

I had an e-mail from hattons last week saying that they were expecting the B17 "Sandringham" in stock in mid August, so fingers crossed!

I have A. H. Peppercorn on order, it is going to look fantastic in apple green!
