That's probably a CG image for marketing because its not been repainted yet as far as I'm aware. Edit: The Statesman Rail Pullmans have brown coloured doors so I guess it doesn't apply to private train operators? correct, the requirement for colour contrasting doors does not apply to charter trains But only on the explicit understanding that said trains have lots of on board attendants who can assist customers waiting to board. In other words were a charter train operated under the same conditions as a ordinary TOC (e.g. just driver and guard) then colour contrasting doors would be required.

Jason Totally agree, it needs to extend to the side windows. A black or white horn grille and headlamp surround would be good as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I must admit it's slightly shady to release a terrier in the livery and condition that a lot of people wanted, only to have it a collectors club exclusive. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did they hype anything up? I only saw this thread on here, not even started by Hornby, which had attracted about one page worth of posts before the announcement. Most of which were jocular and not expecting much. I never received any emails or any third party advertising telling me about it. Certainly nothing from Hornby. I did today after the announcement. But I had already ordered by then. Jason 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is that green right? It's an awful long time since I saw it and my only photo was b&w but I don't remember all that green. Might be an age thing of course but on the other hand it would have been well weathered down by the time I came across it and a colour photo the net from around teh same year shows the green far less obviously..

Hornby being a business and all that it makes good sense to tag club membership to what may prove to be a popular variant. Worked on me anyway! I'll sell the 'free' Club Loco and get 4 magazines so this Terrier will cost no more than a shop release. With a bit of luck they might even produce something else I want as a Collectors Club special in the next 12 months (and if Hornby are reading this and looking for an idea I'd have 6256 in 1947 LMS gloss black with red nameplates please ;)) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well known enough for a G1 version to be available - probably helped by The Titfield Thunderbolt - but I can't see any appetite for the rest. None of them are as pretty for a start. I'd buy one, but then my tastes in toy trains are well known not to be mainstream... If someone did a RTR Thunderbolt in OO I'd bite their arm off but, yes not bothered by the rest of the early stuff 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9402 Fredrick Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 This just gives me more reason to join, will sign up in the next week or so, hopefully the Brighton Works Shunter will still be available for pre-order by then as it'd go great with my model of 32636(Fenchurch). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingTrainLover Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 10 hours ago, Steamport Southport said: Worked though. Just joined specifically for this model. BR 1960s garish liveried Terrier? Now that's a bit special. Jason Same ngl, I've been waiting for either this very model or Stepney in preservation IEG, which ever came first, and honestly, still will get the latter if they ever make it(please make and please make it a regular release). But yeah, had to spend more than I'd like (That USA membership cost and shipping hurt especially) but lord if I'm not excited. And in defense of Hornby, they didn't really hype this up, it was only on here, I only found out when I woke up this morning lol. Not speaking for everyone of course, but it's a bit unfair to say they were hyping this up and spreading this everywhere as if they were going to have a bunch of new reveals, model or livery wise.

Is that why the new batch of Terriers is virtually sold out everywhere? They can be churning these out for years without repetition and they'll still sell. They've hardly touched the BR era and no GWR ones yet. Jason 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Well, as announcements go, that had all the impact of a gnat trying to crush an elephant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn-on-the-platform Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 This model does look brilliant. Hornby have certainly fine-tuned the production and decoration, but it being a limited run of a popular model, perhaps leaves the door open for RoS/Dapol to still take this specific loco on. Dapol have already announced it in N and it forms part of the Gaugemaster collection in O gauge. I'd be peeved if they did a certain other A1x in IEG through the collectors club! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
