JohnC Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just looking at the latest examples on Hattons website and noticed that the painted example they are showing for the forthcoming Scotrail HST Power Cars is incorrect. The example shown does not have the exhaust cowl that is on the FGW Power Cars and these have not been removed on transfer and refurbishment. Roof profile should be the same as the profile on Old Oak Legends Power Cars. john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westie7 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'd be more worried about shelling out for coaches, I can see things changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is a pre-production sample just to check the livery and livery alone, the correct tooling combinations might not be used. Also if you think there may be an issue with something from the likes of Hornby and so on, it's best you contact them directly and inform them about the issue. Though there are atleast 2 know Hornby reps on this forum. There's no guarantee that they'll see your post. Always better to take up the issue with the source (Hornby) and not a 3rd party (RMweb). 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The artwork on the website seems to show the correct thing...so maybe there's nothing to worry about. https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/scotrail-class-43-hst-power-cars-43033-and-43183-era-11.html Get in touch with them and inform them about it, if you feel it's going to be a deal breaker for you. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted August 20, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can the two power cars be coupled back to back as I’ve seen several pairs running through Peterborough either to or from Ely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroborus Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Received my pair yesterday. I thought the 'city' printing was slightly misaligned and wasn't quite level. Not enough to send it back, just something which caught my eye. The shade of grey is very unusual, a little richer than in the images above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroborus Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 thanks for these. The "CITY" in your second picture has the very slight misalignment that mine has. A very slight anticlockwise rotation to it. Not something to worry too much about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it.... However even if it does bother someone, the base livery in that area isn't complex, quite easy to fix if one has decals or has the ability to make decals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi everyone, I just picked up my rake of 6 Scotrail MK2’s from Rainbow Railways last night. Hornby have done a superb job on them and at a good price too. They have coaches if anyone is after them. The HST is very tempting too. thanks Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falken_gt4 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Just received mine, very detailed but a couple of things have left me disappointed. The lights are very dark so when they are not lit the lenses just look too dark and blend into the front dark blue whereas the real one has light grey inserts behind the lenses giving them some proper contrast. The roof is a very shiny black, like a record vinyl. The real one is very matt and slightly greyer. It also has the twin fans from the Brush Cooling System poking through the grills for the Voith cooler that are fitted to FGW/GWR power cars, not the single bigger fan. The rest of the model is very nice though, just a bit underwhelmed with the lack of accuracy on very obvious things. Edit: below is a comparison highlighting both problems. Going back to Hornby as it's too much modification work to do on a new model. Edited August 23, 2019 by falken_gt4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
