RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted November 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2016 Paul Isles from Hornby's R&D Team has posted this on Twitter, I assume related to tomorrows announcement. https://twitter.com/locationsphotos/status/794237537967603714 Any Ideas??

They announce it to everyone simultaneously on "The Engine Shed" . Good move.

miles73128 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Re-engineered? What happened to the Class 71.....Class 74? Re-engineered? Maybe it's a retool of an existing older model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Utterly no idea on this one. If the photo is part of tomorrow's announcement and not a following one or red herring, then it's either something green we see in the background, however I cannot think of anything done before needing a retool which would carry that livery and in particular that bit of lining. (It does match any part of Albert and Jane). We are then left with something that has a big splasher, a big gap between the boiler and running plate so that we can see a big part of the internal motion above it that is black. Again, aside a 700 class (already done and none preserved), nothing fits out there which has also been modelled previously. Maybe, this is leading to a class 87!

Ventnor Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Actually, looking again it does look like a J36 splasher and balance weight. If so, nice change of geographical region. Not my area but would buy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word "re-engineering" is probably put in there just to drum up some froth (though it could mean something). On the other hand if anyone has noticed the last few blogs have not focused on any one product, it's constantly been about 2 or 3 products. This could just be a small piece. Of course if we take the twitter post seriously it seems to match the J36, as it matches photos I've seen of it online. Regarding the green goblin behind I have no clue!!! But it's certainly not Albert or Jane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Found this picture online - Does it answer any questions or does it raise more questions? Obviously it's a NBR C Class/LNER J36 (also spotted the green thing at the back!)https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1568/25850579694_f82b2d4cb2_b.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventnor Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 So, definitely a J36 and a Crane Tank. Don't recall a crane tank in any wishlist polls so highly likely a J36!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2016 Re-engineered? What happened to the Class 71.....Class 74? The class 71 has been released and the Class 74 is being done by DJM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles73128 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Exactly, I mean the class 71 was re-engineered to become a class 74. If you have made a class 71, there is notional cost to tool up for a 74 as well. Only slight changes to the bogies, new body sides and roof. Chassis and motor can all be the same. The class 71 has been released and the Class 74 is being done by DJM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) So what can be "re-engineered" in the Hornby range to become a J36? A J15? Could the two share much of the same chassis and get away with it? If it is a J36, it will be the first true pre-grouping Scottish engine in RTR to modern standards. Of course, maybe there are TWO items about to be announced. A J36 + something else "re-engineered" (hopefully not something that will upset someone elses announced program).

Clearwater Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Princess? Builds on the heritage like the B12. Duchess? Less likely I'd say. Optimistically, Saint? Could be pretty much anything given ex-Lima and other tools they own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted November 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2016 So, definitely a J36 and a Crane Tank. Don't recall a crane tank in any wishlist polls so highly likely a J36!!! Hello Ventnor An Industrial Crane Tank has been in The Wishlist Poll since 2014. In this year's Results published yesterday, the type made it into The Top 50 of 00 and was High Polling in N.

No Decorum Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Could it be Alfred and Judy behind the subject ? http://ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk/Great_Central_Railway-2013-page3.html I hope so. Kernow teased us with a picture of them before announcing something else. It immediately kindled a desire in me for them (never having thought of them before) such that when the announcement turned out not to be them, I suffered a sense of humour failure to an embarrassing extent, going so far as to address an extreme grump to poor old Kernow. It would make sense for Hornby to produce them because the Pecketts (small and cute) have been such a runaway success. Bill and Ben must add to the appeal.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted November 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2016 They no doubt re-tool other things as well as locos. Agreed, and there are a good number of items that should be popular if brought up to current standards, the ex-Airfix and ex-Lima Siphons, the ex-Lima LMS bogie CCT (which Hornby have never even re-released) and their own SR bogie luggage van, to name but a few.
