RMweb Premium Legend Posted September 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2019 I think it’s a rerun of an old advert . Not that old as the 4VEP is shown . I’ve seen it before so I think it’s on YouTube maybe in a compilation of other Hornby adverts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good they did as they need this sort of exposure! https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/Hornby-brings-first-tv-ad-three-years/1108774 Don't worry, it's bang up to date for 2012! They're not daft. I'd guess they'd done it deliberately just to get you talking. Keeps them in the public face. Good marketing Hornby. I-us-we can expect another 'clanger' like that from now, until half-term holidays in October-November. "It's only logical, captain". James T Quirk.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted September 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) We need a hollywood film about model railways. it worked with cars, we had a car that transforms to an “autobot” and had an arch enemy in deceptacons.... and now theres TV series, animations and even 6 Hollywood films, the latest a vw beetle called “bumblebee”. I’m sure Mattel arent complaining. We now have model railways in a TV series featuring WCRC 47’s and earth quakes / volcanos... perhaps a kid finding his late grandfathers DCC sound fitted loco that gives hidden messages in its “f” numbers leading to the discovery of a real gold train hidden in a hill side since the war... with booby traps solved by riddles found wrapped in rolled up pieces of paper inside box vans... when they ultimately find the treasure, they have to set up the layout, with a locos headlight shining directly on the right button to press... behind it, is a golden giraffe car.

atom3624 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If there's a Hollywood film, it would have to transform into Big Boy surely? !! Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I think there may already be films featuring a Big Boy, albeit nothing to do with railways......... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the reaction to the trailers for Free Willy years ago I suspect a trailer for ‘Big Boy hammers the rails’ may elicit similar mirth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2019 The stationary VEP on that slope is probably running at full tilt with the wheels spinning away as there is no way in hell the model could every hope to climb that incline without the proverbial Hand of God shoving it up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
