RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 Out of all the manufacturers out there who could consider one, I reckon Horby would be in a prime position to announce an all singing, all dancing 37...... They've currently only got the old Lima moulding on the go, so would you bet against them announcing one? Or even a pukka 47 at that. Both types of Loco are ripe for the pickings if someone's brave enough to have a go. It would have to be a 'definitive' version though, bit like Accurascales Deltic....... cheers Andy My tea leaves say it will be a 47 - everybody else is into EE locos nowadays and they're becoming terribly passé. Only an hour and half to go and I am so excited............ Have you told your Mrs and the dogs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 Is something happening at 10 o'clock today? I must have missed this announcement...oh wait a minute, this explains the Hornby count down advert...I should pay more attention...anyone for a brew while you wait? It's a Hattons count down add on the banner. I don't thing they'll be doing one for Bachmann's announcement next week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 Have you told your Mrs and the dogs? Mrs M is going shopping so she will miss the wailing as I don't get the loco I want in the livery I want.............again. Gus the gundog is in his bed and can't be bothered. Hugo the Hopeless Hunting Hound is running around all excited but doesn't know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack P Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You'll get a topic which has everything in it (with illustrations and even some photographs) from new toolings through to new liveries etc. plus topics for each of the new toolings. I've not read everything in the topic but I can see there are some guesses that are right; many that are wrong but there are some things coming up at 10.00 that I haven't seen any guesses for at all so there's definitely some surprises in there. One of the major surprises will be the advanced stages that some things are at, one or two of which will probably result in quite a bit of pre-ordering over the next few days due to the "I didn't know I wanted one of those but I don't want to miss out" factor. I will close this topic off before 10.00. That's certainly very exciting! Do you think maybe when you close the thread off you could include the link to the all encompassing topic please?

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's a Hattons count down add on the banner. I don't thing they'll be doing one for Bachmann's announcement next week I doubt it, but will another retailer do a Bachmann countdown, or will Hattons do a countdown which ends, oh, say an hour before the Bachmann launch? Cue 38 another pages of froth! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenman Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Only an hour and half to go and I am so excited............ "I'm so excited / I just can't stand it / I'm about to lose control and I think I like it..." Etc, etc. The champagne is on ice in my fridge, just in case it turns out to be the year of the M&GN...

Andy Y Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Do you think maybe when you close the thread off you could include the link to the all encompassing topic please? All the new topics will be easy enough to find in the Hornby area come the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 I am already locked in the safe room as SWMBO knows that I will be uncontrollable at 09.59.59 (and that isn't my Bank Account Code). This announcement is another Government ploy to distract from the real concerns of the populace. I have already written my resignation letter. Au revoir mon amis.
