RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2019 I see Hornby are still making they're usual bunch of crap even in 2019 and charging an absolute mint for it. So glad i gave up on Hornby a long time ago. It's about time they really upped there game and actually produced something of decent quality for a change. How interesting.

66738 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Diesel: Class 08 Class 31 Class 43 HST Class 50 Class 56 Class 60 Class 67 Totally agree on all of these and I’ll add the 87 and 153 to the list also. Not sure about kettles but my Black 5 is a beauty and no doubt other Steam engines will be just as good if not better.

rob D2 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I wonder if the class 60 still holds the ( probably ) the best diesel produced crown ? I certainly still love my 2 and the running is actually very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted January 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2019 Phil's been down at the Toy Fair today and has spotted this on the Hornby stand. 20190122_155426.jpg It's obviously not in the catalogue and may be there to establish interest with bigger buyers in the same way as the Downton Abbey set was a few years ago. I.e. currently it's a box and a hand-painted sample, and if someone bites and offers to buy enough of them they go ahead and make it? A pre-ordering model but in bulk? I could see this being attractive in a way that the Downton Abbey one really, really wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J.

Administrators Phil Parker Posted January 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2019 Apologies, just noted Andy 's intervention............still stand by my observations mind you...... As do mine that there has got to be something wrong with anyone hanging around and commenting on threads relating to a company whose products they don't like just because of the box colour. As others have said in response to the original bizarre trolling, Hornby has produced many superb models over the last few years. Let's just say the BMRA results will agree with me... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 someone please show me a decent model that Hornby have made in the last 10 years or so? How about you tell us/ show us the fantastic models you have bought in the last 10 years - go on I dare you and then the obviously more knowledgeable people on here can agree /disagree with you. Just for the record though mines a Peckett. Having spent my time in an area where they were used a lot they really are a delightful loco and pretty decent too.
