trevor7598 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Of all the items announced today, the Bulleid ' shortie ' sets are the stand out models for me. For post-war Southern modellers, they are very versatile vehicles, and something to hang behind Hornby's early malachite Merchant Navies. These coaches were both main line and cross country vehicles and later used on branches as well. They were well known on the latterday Somerset & Dorset line. Well done Hornby, consider two sets sold. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! This is indeed excellent news, well done Hornby. Hopefully it will encourage Bachmann to pull their finger out with developing the longer Bulleid coaches; they have held of for far too long and undoubtedly will pay a price for that. I can see me needing to do some very careful financial planning to cope with what Hornby have announced today. Many thanks Andy for getting all this out. all the best Godfrey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGiraffe22 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hmmm a little bit modern for me, then again my layout seems to be vary between being pre, during, and post war depending on what's running, so I maaaay get a set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 From what we've been given so far, it LOOKS like these will be on the early-style Maunsell underframe not the revised version ( different battery boxes and dynamo ) that Hornby correctly used for their Driving Trailer ................. I hope they're aware of the apparent anomaly !!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listed as Waterloo-Wof E Does this mean they were on the ACE and such trains only or could they be used on the Bournemouth line? regards, Ed You can use them on any Western or Central division steam operated lines. Examples from memory and photographs: Somerset & Dorset, Guildford-Horsham, Horsham- Brighton, Waterloo Bournemouth/ Exeter, Lyme Regis ( off a service to Exeter from London ). There is even photographic evidence of a part set on the Hayling Island branch. One of the last steam runs on the Bournemouth line had two of these coaches in the train. The Southern modeller has never had it so good!. 7 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Brilliant news and another clever use of the existing Maunsell chassis. Will have to downgrade my Ian Kirk/Hornby Maunsell conversion 3 carriage set, just as I did with the Maunsell diner last year. Will be ordering both BR livery 3 set types.

Listed as Waterloo-Wof E Does this mean they were on the ACE and such trains only or could they be used on the Bournemouth line? regards, Ed They were frontline stock when built and certainly appeared in the ACE - there is a video of the ACE leaving Waterloo in SR days with two sets in the formation. Per Mike King by 1947 they were Waterloo-Salisbury and the Bournemouth-Weymouth line. As 64ft 6in stock came on stream they tended to be 'demoted' to main line stopping/semi-fast services. In Nov 1959 963-972 went to the S&D but returned to the SR proper for summer 1960 but from 1961 were allocated to the S&D for longer periods.

RMweb Gold RFS Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) What I find refreshing about this announcement is that they will be available this coming April. Compare that to some of Bachmann's products: for example, I pre-ordered the 2-HAP in March 2016 and yet there's still no indication as to when this will be available. And Bachmann's Bulleid coaches announced this time last year? Could be still a couple of years away ..... Edited January 7, 2019 by RFS 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
