6990WitherslackHall Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I recently found a photo of inside the W1's boiler in a book I have. I was expecting it to have a lot of tubes but it doesn't have that many tubes as a normal steam locomotive boiler. Instead it only has two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boiler is a water tube boiler so it has lots of tubes full of water connecting the drums. It is these tubes which are heated to produce the steam, which collects in the upper drum. A normal boiler is a fire tube boiler so the fire passes through the tubes to heat the water. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as they are floating wheelsets like all of Hornbies Pacifics. Would be surprised if they didn't include an alternative pair of flanged wheelsets for large radius layouts or display models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan70000 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've pre-ordered Hush Hush in original condition from TMC, but when I click to view details of my order it states "This item has sold out". I haven't been charged but I assume they would not accept pre-orders if they lacked the stock to fulfill them? I'm glad- but not surprised- that this is a very sought-after locomotive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I noticed how the wheels under the cab swung out on the curves, somewhat masked by the fencing as well. Love the locomotive 'though nevertheless. Not a lot you can do with non-scale curves. Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t assume that it is necessarily the case that it applies to your specific order.It may be that this is the way their stock system/online ordering works. If in doubt,ring them up or email is best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paftrain Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I don’t know if anybody has noticed, but, according to Hornby’s website, the Hush hush locos have quietly slipped to spring 2021 and the rebuilds to summer 2021. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

69843 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 In fairness to Hornby, they’re pushing through a bunch of newly tooled locomotives, in a global pandemic, in amongst other companies doing the same in these factories. I don’t mind the models slipping back a bit if it means we don’t have a rushed/compromised model. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's sold out at Hornby and retailers, the demand is there, so hopefully a slight delay will allow for a few more to be made !

Cheers, Keith I guess that was a bit tongue in cheek. Once a booked slot for production has been used it will be difficult to get another booked in the near future. The first run of X number amount might have sold out. How many more might be needed to satisfy demand? There needs a minimum quantity to make a new run viable and Hornby need to be pretty sure they can sell enough before re-ordering. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And alas Hornby have something of a track record of quickly reordering and over-ordering for a second run when the first sells really well or sells out. Provided they have made a profit on the first run it might make more sense to wait before the second or to stagger the variety of versions they do? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
