Gerald Henriksen Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 There's not much new, maybe 1 or 2 new announcements from Red H, O, R and Blue H, plus prototypes of what's to come from one and all, but the jungle drums this week have really only suggested a cattle wagon from Hornby and a Tank wagon from Heljan have actually made the retailers shelves this week. From the just released Rapido UK newsletter we know (in terms of non-Hornby announcements): - 2 DMU announcements from Realtrack - a bogie wagon from Revolution in N, with a possibiltiy of OO if enough interest - a mystery partner who has contracted Rapido to produce a new locomotive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Bit of a silly question, but will Hornby make the announcement 11am on Sat at the show or is that just to people how can't make the show video their social media platforms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2016 They said live so assuming it will be made at the show at 11 too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My guesses: an N7, a J38 and one other. I don't want either of them, but modelling that GWR thingy, albeit in BR days, I would buy a 16XX or two! David C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor7598 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just 24 hours to go ( for most of us } then all the mysteries and speculation will be over. I trust that some of our wishes will come true. Unlike one model a few years back, when I was told it should be available by the next Warley, and that Warley came and went !.

Hroth Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Containers are quite large - Hornby could have brought something else in ready for release at Warley? Whats due soon? They might show the B12 models as ready for delivery. The first tranche of Pecketts might be similarly exhibited. 20T coke hoppers and the latest versions of the J50s too. The engineering sample of the Wainwright H will probably be there. Surprises teased in the Engine Shed blog? Dunno.... Perhaps an announcment that all the postponed models from 2016 will be produced before the Chinese New Year? And the 2017 catalogue, possibly in a retro mid-70s style! (they are trying hard to get rid of excess copies of the 2016 "handbook"....) Really do need to proofread before clicking send.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hornby Black Friday sale.... It's either been a sell out or a washout...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2016 So 2017 is quite a significant anniversary date in Southern region history. The original form Merchant Navy obviously would be a central place in this role, I wonder if the rebuilt WC\BB or MN will also play a role in this range ? Maybe it's Bulleid turn for a gloss coloured limited edition collection ? (And of course leads on to 2018's anniversary on the Midland / BR steam as a whole) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think we will see a rather reduced announcement for 2017, with 2018 being a bumper year. Lots of end of steam limited editions I'd guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebuilt Pacifics are a different matter. Glossy finish? No thanks. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Perhaps an announcment that all the postponed models from 2016 will be produced before the Chinese New Year? ---------------------------------------------------- Don't think this will happen, since Hornby last week backdate the release dates for some loco´s, Black5 - 3-7-2017 'Drysllwyn Castle- 3-9-2017, not checked all but there will be more, beter to say they will be produced before the next, next Chinese New Year, But here are some of mine predictions on the last day before Warley : A industrial loco, since Peckett became a hit A GWR restaurant, and a new Collet coach to expand the series from last year, maybe a autocoach and a new livery of the last year released Collet coaches in GWR button livery. { money in the pocket for Hornby} A revamped 61Xx loco A SR restaurant coach, needed, maybe some re-release Maunsell coaches in lined Maunsell green, years not availlable sought after A LMS open third, long awaited for A LMS revamped Princess class loco Not many LNER , maybe one new Gresley coach or goods van And overall , an wagon for one of these GWR, SR, LMS I think they drop many items from their catalogue for one year that don't sell fast to focus on new products and good selling products, Every year change it on some and release them after a year or two,give some appetite to people to buy when they availlable again. And doing so you have some space in the production line to keep up with the release dates for new models These are only mine guesses, but you never know, maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaymzHatstand Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hornsby have posted a teaser photo on their Facebook, which I can't seem to post a like to! It features a table draped in a black cloth in front of a promotional image of Mallard with a Pullman behind it. The table seems to have something under the black cloth, which may well have a sloping end to it. That and an A4 photo, hmmmmm, is that a Coronation set under there?! It would be bloody expensive, but would be a vast improvement over my Mailcoach set that I built in my youth! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
