Pufferazzi Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The images certainly suggest that it has proper frames rather than a block...with the amount of daylight under the boiler that detail would be very telling. Looks smashing ...it would nice to have a smoke feature something like this...a pic I took in february 1967 at Chinley South Junction...we could hear it for ages as the fireman threw tons on coal in to keep her going. It was like thunder and had bad steam leaks as is evident. It would be nice if our models could come alive like this...come on Hornby give us some clagg too. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmcg Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 If the new 9F has anything like the quality of the new A2s in terms of fine detail, finesse, and also were to receive good assembly, I shall simply have to buy one or two. I had rather thought it would be hard to surpass the Bachmann model, which I think superb, but Hornby do have a knack of making the detail just that little bit finer... and sometimes more fragile. Hornby's 3D moulds look brilliant. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Downer Posted March 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2021 As a cautionary aside, pale grey shows up details up much better than black, and comparing this with a black Bachmann model may well prove misleading. I remember being highly impressed by the pale grey EP of the Rails SECR D class, and somewhat disappointed by the liveried versions when they came along. 1 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why locos were painted in works grey or photographic grey for there official pictures (picks out detail better). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandHutton Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I honestly didn't think they would be able to better the Bachmann model but I think they may just have done it. Well done Hornby. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It's some way off before the final product, or at least the EP's appear. I have my Bachmann ES 92220 out at the moment, and it does look superb - with very nice paintwork and acceptable lining. I too am curious how the 2 will compare. Al.

G-BOAF Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) I really in two minds on ordering. My Bachmann 92220 is fantastic, if a little off on the shade of green (second batch model). The Hornby model looks fantastic, especially the between frame detail which was one of the few poor points on the Bachmann 9F. If the Hornby model comes out with a top notch build quality AND green colouring (i.e. not like the A2, King and a few others recent BR green models), I will buy it. But if I wait and see, there may be non left to order...! Edited April 11, 2021 by G-BOAF 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 If not a cast complete body, let's hope there's at least a decent metal running plate, and weight 'in-filled' where possible to maximise traction. Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold zr2498 Posted July 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2021 Has anyone heard if the wheel sets will be running in bearings, unlike the Bachmann design? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It's pretty standard for Hornby and most other manufacturers to use axle bearings. If the 9f doesn't I'd be very surprised. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hornby website stating Winter 2022 for these, so on that basis, 12 months from now. However we have not yet seen a tooled EP yet, let alone livery samples, so I would suggest realistically it might slip into 2023. Normally a gap of about 9-12 months between livery samples and production arriving. Hopefully I've just placed a pre-order for Evening Star I'm wondering if I want to get 92197 for renumbering into 92212; the BR1F tender is a damn impressive vehicle. However I should also prioritise replacing my second Bachmann 9F as Bluebell-based 92240 with a d/c 1c variant (a detail mix not offered in the first batch by Hornby*) so should probably save my pennies... I would also quite like a model of 92134 in preserved single chimney form, is it is something a little different.
