34theletterbetweenB&D Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Accurately modelled, and yet more handsome. Hornby hit the 'irresistible' spot again. Happily I don't need any excuses to have one, or two... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 That B12 is going to make a stunning stablemate to its sibling, the apple green Claud which is due out this Autumn I am hugely looking forward to the B12 arriving. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm unreasonably disappointed that the late BR one isn't 61572. I'd hoped for a 'time capsule' or perhaps Tardis opportunity to revisit the frisson I can still recall when buying its fore-runner from Mr Wilman's shop in Hitchin one school lunchtime in summer term 1965. Being my first 'big' purchase without prior consultation with my parents! I hope these samples are still standing on 'parts bin' driving wheels, i.e. they haven't been down-specced since the CAD was shown. The Nim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 That BR one really looks very nice. I have a soft spot for the B12, in spite of it having no place on my current layout: my first "large" steam loco as a teenager (a couple of centuries ago!!) was a Triang B12, which, while nowhere near modern standards, was not a bad model. I suspect the retail price of the new model will deter me from buying one, but the temptation will be there, for me. Come off it, it was only last century!

RMweb Premium 31A Posted May 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2016 Doesn't it look fat! Despite knowing that the Triang B12's boiler was too small, and having seen the real one at Sheringham many times, I suppose I'd got conditioned to thinking that real B12/3s did look like the old Triang model.

Hroth Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 One things for sure, I won't be able to have the "old" and "new" B12s on the layout simultaneously. Its bad enough when an old one gets alongside the D16/3! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2016 Excellent news. I run to more than one era, and will be getting a BR black example as well as LNER green. Lots to look forward to there. Regards, Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 From the pictures this promises to be an excellent model, and I am very tempted by R3430 in LNER green. It is good to see Hornby seeming to get back on their feet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It will be interesting to see if Hornby's manufacturer(s) for the BR variants manage to apply the lining to the LH footplate valance - the images on the Engine Shed blog are indistinct but suggest that they might this time have managed to apply some (if not all) of the lining alongside and under the piping, something that apparently is the reason why the lining that should be there on the BR D16/3s but is not.
