RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted December 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Wouldnt it be interesting if Hornby spent a few quid on its railroad range and came up with a 73/9 body ? that tooling owes them nothing at this point.

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted December 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2021 According to the tv show most of the income appears to come from brand new releases so it’s in Hornby’s interests to keep churning out new stuff so we should be seeing stuff not done by Hornby before (however I didn’t say not done by anyone else before)! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Watto1990 Posted December 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2021 Well we know they don’t like being beaten to the punch - with Bachmann motorising models from the diecast range they bought in the form of the EFE tube stock, maybe we’ll be seeing some motorised Corgi trams? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it will be on Hornby's site too but, if previous years are anything to go by, it will be slow (or hung) and difficult to find the key information quickly Would anyone like to hazard a guess at how many servers (or indeed clouds!) it would take to keep the Hornby website going on range announcement day?

On the other hand we could do what Triang always used to do and look at the latest developments from Lionel and get things like diesel loco smoke units and blowing safety valve effects on steam outline models. Thinking back to the early episodes of the documentary series, I seem to remember the engineering boffins tinkering with a new smoke/steam system similar to the TRS Trains arrangements? Something like that would be very welcome! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely won't be 'their' digital team, they outsource everything else. As I won't be ordering anything from them (let me just get in a 'Nothing in it for me' while I can ), I'll happily scroll down a page on RMWeb curated by Andy. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted December 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2021 While a reworking of the earlier versions of the HST Mk3s would be welcome. I think Hornby are going to be more radical this year: 1 large steam engine 1 medium sized steam engine 1 small steam engine possibly industrial. To paraphrase Blackadder goes Fourth, doing exactly the same thing they have done the last 35 times before is the last thing anyone will suspect. Once these locos are announced, I will once again restrain from saying there is nothing in it for me. They really should update/improve their 50 before someone else does, and someone else will. Same goes for the 31. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Merry Christmas Ray Boring! How about going for a niche EMU and announcing a model of the 503 parked next to it in the 1:1 warehouse? Of course, anything with a TTS chip in it will arrive in December 2023 due to lack of semiconductor production capacity in the Far East... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I would say - again - a 31/4 in BR Blue! Although, now having waited so long for one I wouldn’t actually buy one if they did, I think the 31 is ripe for picking off by one of the new manufacturers (along with most of their diesel range to be honest) so I’m in the process of selling anything I have that’s Hornby anyway! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standards_in_OO Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I imagine lots of re runs of models than other manufacturers are doing placed into the Railroad range such as the Class 37 and maybe the Hall as a cheaper alternative to Bachmann’s. I think someone else will pick off the remaining fleet of their diesels that haven’t already been done elsewhere in the near future. As for steam the S160 is popular on wish lists but a retool of the Black 5 or 8F might be more likely. I wouldn’t be complaining if either of those are done! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
