MGR Hooper! Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Maybe we can get away with it if we say "predicting" rather than "wishlisting"? Therefore I shall predict:- - newly tooled Mk4 coaches - newly tooled Mk4 DVT - newly tooled/updated BR Std 9F 5 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well - what's the harm? Those that don't like it always grumble and stamp. I always thought those not in favour should just not bother reading the topic or spoiling it for those that do like these things! 4 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2020 I hope everyone stays healthy fit and well at Hornby and everywhere else! (was that what you meant)? It is true though! 7 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black 5 Bear Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I like the idea of a newly tooled 9F, but would predict a newly tooled Stanier 8F 2 8 0. A super detailed rebuilt Crosti would also be most welcome. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 As the new range announcement date HAS been confirmed, it's legitimate to ponder upon what might be! Call it prediction, call it frothing, let's have at it! Seeing as NRM/Rails/Bachmann have their "Precedent", Hornby should go ahead and add to their stud of GER/LNER locos and announce an E4. They could also reissue teak effect clerestories to go with it.... 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Bearing in mind the success of the Coronation Scot coaches Hornby might produce some Coronation and upgraded Silver Jubilee coaches. These will boost the sales of the A4 Pacifics. Hornby might also introduce some authentic pre-grouping four and six wheel coaches as their existing four wheel coach is in need of upgrading and they will go well with the Adams Radial and Terrier. If this upsets Hattons Hornby will claim that it has been working on this project for a long time. 3 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

69843 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 If I were in a predictive mood, and not using things already mentioned: *BR Mk1 BFK *BR Mk1 RK (Dia. 700/original) *1951 Festival of Britain/U-type Pullmans (70 years since first run) *Streamlined P2 *New industrial locomotive. What that is? No clue. And as a train pack: 6000LA/Bulmers train pack to celebrate 50 years since 6000 returned steam to the main line after the ban. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, so far outside the box that it would be on another planet, another EMU, but instead of a South East thing (they all look the same), a Class 503. Thats on-site too! 1 hour ago, Kris said: Something to build on the success of Rocket. Possibly Lion and maybe some wagons. How about a Planet, or a Patentee.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2020 Perhaps we could have a specific wishlisting topic, maybe in musings and misc. Companies would know where to go for market research, and it might clear these threads of froth. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiftyfour fiftyfour Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have a request/suggestion for the actual "Hornby 2021 range announcements" thread when it happens. That it's split into TWO threads, one steam era and one modern image. The 2020 thread went wandering off down all sorts of rabbit holes and nearly 50% of readers had to plough through discussions regarding models which they have no interest in. That's usually avoidable by not opening the thread if the title isn't 'your' era but not a luxury available on an unwieldy single cover-all topic... 1 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) After Hornby's attention being heavily directed eastward for 2020, I'm hoping for at least one all-new loco numbered thus: 30xxx.

RMweb Premium Downer Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2020 I’d be happy with the 59’ Bulleids in crimson/cream and the Coronation Scot SO and RK, suitably revised, in that or maroon. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
