sp1 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well, yes, otherwise their January announcement will be pretty flat. But to be honest I don't expect much more than perhaps some additional coaching stock and a few more wagonsI think more Collett coaches in different liveries would be a winner - the original run went very quickly (I am aware Kernow have some 'blood & custard' ones) - surely maroon and a different GWR livery would also sell?

RMweb Gold 81C Posted December 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) I would think maroon is a racing certainty but i'm not quite so sure about which GWR livery they might go for. I would expect them to monopolize on the Shirtbutton livery that was available in the recent train set unless it's cheap to set up the tampon printer, I can see these going like hot cakes like the last lot.

bensanchez43310 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I see GWR HST's,MK3(hst+sleeper) and maybe even reruns of current HST liveries on the horizon, maybe even a debranded Chiltern 67 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Haven't there already been numerous Huntley And Palmers wagons? Yes, but that doesn't mean there is no opportunity for them right now. Frankly anyone who was willing to part with a H&P wagon would probably see it's resale value peak right about now.

Southernman46 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just a decent VB 21t hopper (original or rebodied - don't care), that's all I'd like to see ............... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 A rebody would be the best option as it can also be put on the LNER XX chassis! Nooooooooooooooooo. How about a Cravens Diag. 1/146? Could even be Numbered up as a head Wrightson build. That would give us another body variation and not step on Mr Parksides toes. They are a good way there with quite a bit of existing tooling being usable from the Coke Hopper and Diag, 100 Hurst Nelson Coal Hopper. There's hundreds of photos available ( Why did the Snibston Discovery Museum have to scrap their perfect examples?) and therre is an intact example hid away in Chopwell Woods. IMG_3927_1 by aj.gardner, on Flickr Throw in one of those nice new cast metal chassis of the correct length with a few bits from their Tope and they've produced another version of the 21 ton hopper for minimal outlay. Once they've done that, maybe they can do a nice little 14" 0-4-0 Andrew Barclay (2320 or 2322 would be nice) to pull those new hoppers. The production of the AB would also not step on that nice Mr High Levels size elevens and be a overdue replacement for that Long in the Tooth and way overpriced DJH job. Me? Wishlist? Never!

Steamport Southport Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, but that doesn't mean there is no opportunity for them right now. Frankly anyone who was willing to part with a H&P wagon would probably see it's resale value peak right about now. I thought I answered that in the original post? None of which are totally accurate as they all use the wrong wagon type. Usually a RCH 7 plank. An Oxford one will fall into that trap. However, Hornby actually have a wagon that's closest to the real one in their 6 plank. As far as I know they haven't made a H&P version. Scroll down on the link here for the prototype. http://glostransport...o.uk/index.html I'm virtually saying "Yes. Make a H&P wagon. Just as long as they use the correct wagon type".

I think they'd still sell even with the wrong wagon. Having gone to so much trouble on the Peckett having an accurate wagon too would be good.

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted December 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2016 Given the way that Hornby announced loads of new stuff for this year, most of which was then cancelled and most the remainder not yet delivered, my sense of expectation over Hornby's 2017 announcements has been somewhat dulled.

surfsup Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I reckon, if not for the 2017 range then 2018 - Caledonian Sleeper Mk3s & 87. If Hornby were to consider putting such a detailed loco into a pack, then it could allow them to release 87002 & 2/3 Mk3s?* *Or a FL Class 90!** HSTs in GWT Merlin, FGW Fag Packet Green & Gold, FGW Barbie? After the MML HST PCs, Surely some of the GW liveries are on the cards next? Another Wessex liveried 153 would also be nice for us modelling the South West in the late Noughties to Mid 00s. Heart of Wessex, Heart of Wales or the St Ives Bay Belle / Looe Valley Explorer would be a nice and pleasant surprise! I'd be surprised to see an Electrostar coming from Hornby - If you look at which manufacturer has worked with whom, Bachmann seems to have a good relationship with Bombardier, Alstom & Hitachi with Hornby. But we don't and wont know until next week! **Not entirely serious comment, although Hornby will have stolen a march over Bachmann and it's long promised 90 with the 87s chassis.

surfsup Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 And my final wish from Hornby. A Consistent and matching range of models painted in FGW's Blue Please! I Just cant bring myself around to spending 200 on the new HST Power Cars with that shade of blue. It's far too light (as is the Harry Patch Power Car) and adds to the mismatch found on the Night Riviera Mk3s, the 3 different batches of HST Mk3s (Original, Modelzone & 2015), HST Power Cars and FGW 153.

DougN Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well to keep us NER modellers under control I think the wooden 20t hopper would do us. I have tried to batch build but with time more scarce than Hornby Peckett s I have failed to do so in about 8 months. They could almost be single moulds but the number of handrails is the thing that pushes the price up with all the hand assembly required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of Adnams Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 For an 'announcement' of the date topic it's been allowed to turn into another pointless wishlisting thread. Sorry to disappoint but the decisions have already been made, the catalogues printed and no doubt the web pages prepped ready for release at the appointed time. I would just wish for Hornby and the other manufacturers to be successful and may 2017 be a very good year for us all... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted December 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2016 Gutted the Class 31's are cancelled as I was looking forward to a BR Blue (TTS) & BR Green one. Just maybe they'll be pushed back to next year! (I do recall that happening previously with the MK2D Brake in BR Blue Grey). 2017 covers several upcoming significant anniversaries, some of which could be catered for by Hornby in various ways: 20th anniversary - A model of the loco hauling the last BR train, the 2315 Dollands Moor-Wembley, on 21 November 1997 by 92003 Beethoven https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_92 50th anniversary - To mark the final Southern Region steam services, a train pack consisting of a filthy, nameless, Bulleid pacific with three Mk1s in green and blue/grey 4VEP in original 1967 condition - blue with small yellow panels A class 50 numbered D400 60th anniversary - First Pilot Scheme diesels in service - class 31 D5500 released 70th anniversary - the final year of the Big Four: Original Merchant Navy with set of Maunsells in malachite Well spotted - I wonder if we'll see the previously 'cancelled' green 31 in 2017...? Would be nice! cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
