coachmann Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Great images.....The BR version looks just the part. Markits do a smashing bogie wheel with extra large boss that would suit the B12 a treat. With this kind of 'modelling', I do hope Hornby has a shufty at 0 gauge one day....

rembrow Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The Hornby website is still showing estimated arrival dates as - late BR -30/11, early BR 02/12 and LNER 04/12, so all could be with Hornby within the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Whizz Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Seeing the sheer length of the black B12 at Warley this Sunday made me realise how disproportionate the "old" Hornby version was. One retailer still had the former version, new, on sale at £45 - but anyone who had seen the new one and made the comparison wouldn't hesitate, even at the higher price.

MartinTrucks Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 But still not moved to New Arrivals from Coming Soon at Hornby! I have an order with Rails of Sheffield which includes a R3431 (61533 in BR early crest - expected date 2nd. December). Rails despatched the order (minus R3431) yesterday. A telephone enquiry to Rails this morning reveals no info from Hornby regarding imminent delivery. Oh well .......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
