TomScrut Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I do think I am going to end up capitulating and buying an LNER one! Maybe before the start of Jan to make sure my name is on the list before any mk4s might be announced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Is there some discrepancy as to the RRP of these on some sites? Hornby has them at £180. Kernow have them at £162 which is £180 minus the usual 10% discount they are allowed at launch. A lot of sites seem to have these at £170 RRP at £153. Given I have a 10% off voucher from Hornby that expires end of the year I had thought I'd just pre order from there (make sure I get it) but now I am wondering I am better off seeing if I can get it £9 cheaper elsewhere!

MGR Hooper! Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well as you'll all probably know by now, Hornby has announced re-tooled Mk4 coaches and a Mk4 DVT. There's a dedicated topic for them here - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll probably leave that until next year. Last year's aren't coming until middle of this! I'd expect either 91117 or 91120 would be popular in Europhoenix, and 91119 in its current IC livery. Wouldn't surprise me if both these happen next year. The appeal of 17 or 20 would be that you don't need a train to run with them, they buzz about by themselves or with a 37 quite a bit. 91119 would be good for those of us already getting an LNER rake as the loco can be swapped or we could buy a whole new rake, but obviously the appeal is the Swallow livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60800 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I was hoping for 91119 to be announced this year, but since there's still four separate class 91's plus four different rakes of Mk.4's to arrive this year, you can kind of see why they have haven't announced any more 91's for 2021.

The initial batch of 4 Class 91s are yet to come. They are currently reviewing painted EP samples and and are scheduled for production in March.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Perhaps the front NEM socket is a bit too pronounced, but it might be a trick of the camera. Cannot wait for my GNER example to arrive with coaches to follow. I do hope Hornby continue to produce these in plentiful supply over the coming years. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterCity80s Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Agree. Really looking forward to getting my InterCity one. Just a shame there will be a long wait for the Mark 4s... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamvb Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I've got one of each 91 and a rake of IC, GNER and LNER coaches on order. It's looking great - although the panel below the windscreen needs a bit of work as it bends upwards and the ends to my eyes. That and on the swallow one the white on the upper bonnet should go right down to the light cluster, but otherwise all good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 These are looking good, I'm hoping for some good DCC functionality now (a working pantograph is too much to ask, but good controls for the lights would be appreciated)! The LNER one doesn't seem to have the vinyl square around the logo which is good for anyone looking to change it to Virgin but for anyone wanting to keep it as LNER it's a bit of work to be done. Rather happy with these images... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted August 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2021 I had hoped with the adverts appearing in the model press and the model in the coming soon part of the Hornby website these were on the way but I think these are pre-production samples rather than production samples brought across before the main batch? I agree they look good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
