I think that is the point!!! £16.99 rrp for a brand new tooling of the Rocket open carriage and £24.99 for brand new tooling goods brake vans which can be sold in several liveries/eras. It certainly makes me suspicious!! Martin Edited July 1, 2020 by MartinTrucks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviousweegee Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Just pre-ordered three of the new 2nd class coaches from Hornby for just a bit more than one of rails coaches Edited July 1, 2020 by Deviousweegee Mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Rails have just cancelled their model so I suspect there will be a load of people who ordered from Rails now ordering the Hornby model. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave56 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Mine arrived yesterday, I am so impressed with the detail Hornby have managed to incorporate in such a tiny model. However, the couplings drove me to despair, until I finally got them all to stay in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted July 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2020 This was apparently scanned at the NRM in July 2018. I am amazed quite frankly that it appears to have passed unnoticed by the ....erm...”competition “.....given the close cooperation between the NRM and etc. ,etc. . I am truly sorry for Rails.They are trying damned hard and aren’t having the best of fortune lately.Never mind .Yorkshire grit will out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 And correctly described as Third Class. Probably get some numpty telling me I'm wrong again. At no point did I say they were original carriages. They are LMS. Jason 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said that Hornby do have a pretty reasonable record with LMS carriages. Though a composite - of the 60 ft gangwayed variety - would be welcome... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I tried to order 2 x Hornby, to replace the to-be-cancelled Rails version, but when I reached the checkout, they were sold out.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted July 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2020 Those pictures of the Rocket beside a Big Boy are interesting. The Big Boy is longer than the entire Rocket train.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I would have pre ordered from Rails, as they did have a go...but the delay in the system led to none being available, so I've ordered my first thing direct from Hornby! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
