KDG Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Excellent another run of DRS mk2f's. Wasn't able to get a full set last time around as I had my pre- order reduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finally some brand new mk 3s. The good news is that one can add lights and the ones I want (70s 80s) version are not there yet which means I can wait for peoples reviews on the first batch before ordering any. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrains29 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Nice to see the Mk2 RLO. It's a shame they haven't tooled the RLO with the windows removed, but at least they've chosen examples that can use their existing SO tooling (windows painted over). Hopefully they'll get round to producing the NX Swoosh, Visit Scotland and First Group RLOs in the future. Just need them to tool a mk2 RFB and BUO now.

Markeg Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Nice to see the LNER Coronation set. I will have to sell my near completed Mailcoach kit/set. Or I could use it for a west Riding set or spare. Nothing else really. The Titfield set and a steam generator fitted BR Flying Scotsman could tempt me. Can not comment on modern offerings. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first glimpse I had of it was as a 13-year-old in the 1979 Hornby book of trains and I’ve coveted it ever since.If they are to the standard of the Coronation Scot coaches we are in for a treat.Many thanks Hornby!

Ollie K Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Delighted to see Hornby follow up the LMS Coronation Scot with its LNER opposite number. Dared hope it would be on the cards when the observation car was revealed in Margate last year, but figured the usual trainset curve clearances / pack cost obstacles could kibosh it. Will be very interested to see what sort of coupling/articulation mechanism they’ll go for (similar to APT but without need for tilt?) Hopefully the silver ‘CORONATION’ lettering and numbering will be raised moulded detail rather than the printed numerals used on the previously released ‘Coronation’ A4s which really lets those models down IMHO. Also Hornby, please factor in easy dismantling of the observation car – if ever there was a model that cried out for a full complement of 1930s-atired passenger figures, this is it. No brittle plastic tabs please… 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Six wheeled crimson departmental coaches seem interesting. Brit15 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I always thought the Coronation train would be a good choice given that Hornby has a nice A4. Hornby should have had the confidence to offer it as a complete train. The advantage to the retailer is that they have to stock only one product and for Hornby they produce just the one item, avoiding the possibility of under/over supply if offering the coaches in separate packs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45568 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 A little sad to not see the Coronation Scot coaches appear in BR Maroon, the Coronation set looks lovely but is too era-specific for me, and post war there were doors added which will make BR-era models difficult. Cheers from Oz, Peter C. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse889 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Really good to see a range of retooled slam-door Mark 3 coaches for the HST. One rake of each to match with the new HST power car packs.... plus the obligatory rake in LNER ex-VTEC livery. It did make me smile - as well as collecting the yearly Hornby wagon and Hornby roadshow wagon, I'm thinking of starting a collection of the yearly Mark 3 rake in LNER livery....! But please, Hornby, make sure that the QC is good on them. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy2305 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Coronation coaches it is then... My poor wallet! (To be fair, I think its going to have to be a shortened set. Brake twins and the beavertail for me...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The S&DJR 4 & 6 wheel coaches look a nice set, otherwise just the Maunsell dining saloon for me. Colin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Surprised and confused that no further White roof MK 1’s have been announced. What are we supposed to do with the BCK? 66738 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainsandtravel Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m wondering if the GWR sliding door mk3 coaches announced today are the same tooling as the recently released GWR mk3 sliding door coaches or have they been retooled again to work with the new mag light system?

JackB95 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finally! Intermediate coaches for the Hitachi 80X packs allowing people to make 9-car rakes! Thank youuuuu Hornby. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestTom Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's not the most exciting announcement here, but I'm looking forward to the LSWR coaches. It's pretty easy to convert those to look more authentically LSWR (just modify the end windows), and they'll go nicely with the ones I already have. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Very pleased to see the Coronation set. Were these repainted Silver Jubilee stock or new builds for the Coronation ? Might we expect 'silver versions in the future ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beancounter Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 the BR 6 wheel departmental coaches in maroon are shown as era 7 and 8 respectively - does that seem right ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
