JSpencer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 And the hint of future announcements. Photographing at the Bluebell? What else have they got? Locowise: Q class U class (2 of these) SECR P class (3 of those) SECR O1 class (it actually shares parts with the H) North London Railway dock tank Baxter - that has got to be an obvious choice. Red loco for the red box company There are/were a few other industrials. They could take some existing toolings and give them Bluebell numbers: S15 as preserved on Bluebell (why did they not release this when they did the first run of the S15 is beyond me) Q1 - ok she is NRM but was last seen running on the Bluebell Schools - last time they did Stowe was in 1980 Rebuilt Battle of Britain - Sir Archibald Sinclair Terrier - Fenchurch (it has been done in BR number and colour) Rolling stock wise, there are tonnes of stuff to choose from..... I think the P class would be an obvious choice from that lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted September 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2016 That's it official then , an H class. Good for Hornby , the announcement refers to the events of the last year which they say will defer the 2017 range into the second half of the year. Quite understandable. Happy for all those folks wanting an H and it's good to see Hornby coming back on line. Probably a good subject too with all the Southern modellers saying they want one. Just hope Hornby remember there are some of us North of the Thames and even some of us in the barren wastelands north of Hadrians Wall . They are promising future announcements........

BG John Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Good point. I take it all back. Does this mean Hornby's is the right shade for GW green? I've got three Hornby GWR locos here, and the green looks pretty good to me. It matches my two Airfix GWR locos. So as long as you buy secondhand 2721 Panniers you should be OK! Each of mine is from a different release, of varying ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it requires two version's - twin water fillers, single ladder (as per BR Service) and twin ladders, single water filler (new build for her return to steam on the Bluebell Railway) Now now, I am currently read'in the definitive Bullied Power Merchant Navy book by Fry and he calls them unrebuild and rebuild, and he knew lots of people who worked 'em. So if its goodi'nuff for 'im, its goodi'nuff for me. BR or Bluebell version will be fine to me and sherley much better than me renamed Wrenn one.

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted September 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2016 Rebuild is a verb. Rebuilt is a noun. Unrebuild would be to put back into the condition prior to rebuilding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Rebuild is a verb. Rebuilt is a noun. Unrebuild would be to put back into the condition prior to rebuilding. An adjective, surely, describing the subject (the Bulleid Pacific); thus you can have 'unrebuilt' and 'rebuilt'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Locowise: Q class U class P Class They could take some existing toolings and give them Bluebell numbers: Rebuilt Battle of Britain - Sir Archibald Sinclair U Class: Problem with the U Class is the number of variants within just a 50 strong class. Would love to see it happen though. Rebuilt 'Battle of Britain' Class: Would require a brand new tooling for the tender. The 5250g tender hasn't been seen in model form since the days of Hornby Dublo. P Class: Wasn't there a thread on here not too long ago, detailing the differences between all 8 members of the class?

I’d love it too. Perhaps Bachmann territory. Problem? Rather an opportunity to extract even more cash from us poor addicts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
