coachmann Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks Larry Would you suggest brush painting the 5 thou plasticard with humbrol 9? Worked a treat on patching Hornby teaks for renumbering many moons ago on your suggestion. I have no Humbrol No.9 but I am guessing it is tan. The first thing is to apply as little glue as possible to 5thou plastikard to prevent it being disfigured. In fact, I have also used good quality paper glued on with Evostick.

You recommended it to me years ago when renumbering teaks where the teak finish had come away. Worked a treat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor7598 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Unless it's just a sample, the latest Gresley full brake in teak looks good. But on close inspection the grain on the doors is vertical again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieR4489 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Three of the newest teaks are in stock; full brake, buffet and corridor third: https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/lner-61-6-gresley-full-brake-4234-era-3.html https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/lner-61-6-gresley-corridor-third-23864-era-3.html https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/lner-61-6-gresley-corridor-buffet-21611-era-3.html They've got the grain direction on the doors correct and the graining itself looks considerably better than the last batch of coaches.

Rshakes3 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 And just out of interest the photo Hornby have of the Corridor 3rd seems to have 1's on the doors - so I gather these are 'stock' photos and not of the actual new models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I bought my first teak (a buffet) in 2004, for £35. With inflation, £35 is now £52.72 And given the pound is much weaker, this is not too bad in terms of pricing. By contrast, the RRP of an A4 in 2004 was about £85, which today is around £130, while prices in reality are generally much higher. So the teaks reprasent good value for money, albeit still with objectionable tumblehome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted August 26, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hornby have one picture on their facebook page that I would think is of the actual new coaches. They certainly look better than the last releases to me. They also look a bit different in that lighting to the original ones I have, which may be no bad thing for creating variation within a formation. I am looking forward to seeing some individual photos. I hope the link below works. Tom 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of Adnams Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It should be noted that the Hornby marketing photographs now show the graining on the door panels running in the right direction, so let's hope that update is reflected on the models...

Are they using - totally pointless - rubber gangways on these ........ or is that a plastic one poorly installed and badly distorted ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieR4489 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think it's both. On my BR buffet it seems to be rubber for the 'concertina' part and then a plastic end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
