RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted February 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2020 Looking for a late/recent Hornby Hall body - "Adderley Hall" or similar era. Zillions of Kneller's and Alberts from the 70s for sale, but nothing recent. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted February 8, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2020 From Wikipaedia: The Hornby Railways model of the locomotive is actually a model of a Castle class locomotive, not a Hall. Tri-ang Hornby did release a model of the Hall class in 1966; however, this model was last offered in 1983 as 4930 Hagley Hall, In 2015 Hornby introduced their model "RailRoad GWR 4-6-0 'Olton Hall' 4900 Hall Class - R3169", originally announced in 2012.[13] In 2019, Hornby announced a new Harry Potter range, ..............2 separate Hogwarts Castle locomotives with headlight, one being TTS Sound fitted. This is the first Hogwarts Castle model they have released being correctly of a Hall class. So do you have an "Olton Hall" or a "Hogwarts Castle" on the nameplate?

steviesparx Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Apologies, I think I may have confused myself regarding the 'real' and model 'Hogwarts Castle'.... My example is circa 2008 - I believe it is indeed a maroon painted Castle - My confusion was that the 'Hogwarts Castle' in the film was actually a Hall....

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted February 11, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) It can be a minefield. I did more research and the statement above from Wiki sums it up. If you want a Hornby Hall and the one for sale is maroon, you either have to buy a very recent one with a headlight (which is a Hall shell) or the Olton Hall "as preserved" with "GREAT WESTERN" on the tender.
