Chris M Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 So far as I am aware there aren't any Warley associated layouts at Taunton this year so there won't be any advance tickets for sale there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also have my glamorous assistant Clive there too. The place to be is Tudwick Road siding- 4ft 6inches of O gauge frippery over in the 'Naughty Corner'!

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted October 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2019 With next year being the Hornby anniversary year, I wonder if they will be having any announcements at Warley.... They are already on record as saying that they have plans to mark the anniversary. I know it will be nice to see the already announced items released (hopefully the Prairie tanks will be in the shops by then). Just a thought, as there are only 4 weeks to go.

Meccano's Hornby was founded in 1920 but the current one isn't a lineal decendent by only using the name and is really a decendent of the triang brand The Hornby company effectively went into Wrenn and onward at the Lines bros takeover. A bit like the current Rolls Royce car company of which there is no connection with the original apart from the name. Rolls Royce cars lives on in the VW owned Bentley Motors.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2019 Well the modern Hornby Hobbies was 1980, not sure they had any anniversaries in 1960? They might leave announcements until the anniversary year rather than this year at Warley. I suspect the same post Xmas type slot as they did before.

JaymzHatstand Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Has there been any announcement about a show wagon? I've not seen anything, but could easily have missed it! Not that I'm a fanatical collector, more a case of if it's one I like, I'll indulge! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Rolls Royce cars lives on in BMW. RR does have a connection - it controls who can use its brand name. It didn't like VW using it so refused to let them. RR does aero engine development work with BMW so was happy for them to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR does have a connection - it controls who can use its brand name. It didn't like VW using it so refused to let them. RR does aero engine development work with BMW so was happy for them to use it. Not as simple as that. When Vickers put RR up for sale BMW were expected to buy it but wouldn't pay enough so the whole lot except the RR brand name was sold to VW. BMW paid IIRC £40million for the name alone which left VW with the registered trade marked RR grill & Spirit of Ecstasy as well as the car factory and all the models being made. BMW had a contract to make engines for RR&Bentley motors so the resulting situation was clearly untenable with BMW's RR with no car factory, no models to sell and no trade marks and VW dependent on BMW for engines. They came to an agreement whereby VW would make RR cars for 5 years until BMW could gear up to make them themselves whilst agreeing to continue supplying VW with engines. As part of the agreement BMW also got the trade marks they needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) There is no show wagon this year . Interest had started to wain. There have been quite a lot of special show wagons over the years, some by Warley club and some by Virgin Trains. I designed the first ever Warley show wagon way back in the days before we went to the NEC some 31 years ago.

Thanks for that, I won't be on the lookout for one then! Like I say, it was more a souvenir of the show if it was a livery I fancied. I suspect many others were in the same boat.
