RMweb Premium CF MRC Posted January 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) What a great little model promised from Hornby, but no smoke! The original was great fun, and perhaps I should dust off my 3.5” version. Tim Edited January 6, 2020 by CF MRC Better picture 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hornby has shown it can do small with the Ruston. I wonder if there will be a DCC socket and space for a speaker in the lead coach. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestTom Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Really impressed by this. I thought there was an outside chance of Rocket showing up in the range, but at best it would be the Triang one with a new finish. It's just a shame it's a limited edition, I'd love the coaches as a separate item. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this is going to be produced as the limited edition box set (R3809, RRP £189.99) and also a normal train pack (R3810, RRP: £179.99) [Edit: Beaten to it!] Edited January 6, 2020 by Skinnylinny 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted January 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2020 I am delighted with this announcement from Hornby, its an obvious one for them to produce and surely will be the sort of thing that will sell well at Shildon and York NRM to a wider audience. I been bending Hornby reps about this for some time but claim absolutely no credit! I had a long chat with Simon at the Great Dorset Steam Fair last August and he spent a long time checking on his phone and pointing out that there wasn't an anniversary for it coming up in the near future when he will have known all about the new tooling and its release this year. At times at these public events he must have many internal chuckles to balance the rubbish he gets from customers! Certainly Hornby have pulled out the stops this year and like many others on here I hope it works for them. all the best and a Happy New Year to all Godfrey 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted January 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2020 I wonder if it will see a reworked 5 pole XT60- well can dream I guess .. Looks a great model and I am sure Rainhill trials and other early line modelling will get a boost. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity that the lining on the water tank (?) appears quite sloppy, although fairly easy to tidy up I imagine.

So the two packs are not otherwise identical. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then all the Rocket 200 and other editions they can think of. I think they'll be making these for years. Open carriages next please. Need somewhere for the plebs to travel.

No doubt It will come out next in a Top Hat Shaped Box or Science Museum Victorian Edition as The Stephenson's Steam Special Anniversary . Banging out another 2000 items limited edition.
