RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted March 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hornby have posted on Facebook today they are excited about 28th March.... and included a photo of what looks to be Pete Waterman in front of the camera. Not sure if this is a new announcement, or just a bit of hype for the next “Engine shed” blog. Wonder what the connection with Pete Waterman will be....

Popular Post woodenhead Posted March 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2020 He's bought Hornby and intends to drop all the railroad stuff in favour of highly detailed models with proper valve gear and inside motion as well. Only 3 link couplings and only GWR and LMS locomotives. 5 1 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 As I understand it, Pete is leading a team to build a 100' long 00 gauge layout for Chester Cathedral and Hornby is also involved, sounds like quite a project! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2020 A new feature on the Hornby Signal Box is a memories slot and Pete is sharing his on the 28th. Anyone can do this by sending an email to marketing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can do this by sending an email to marketing. Can you discuss your first railway with a Mainline Royal Scot, Peak and a J72. Eventually I did get a B17 but that was my only Hornby first time around. Edited March 12, 2020 by woodenhead 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted March 29, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2020 Surprised not to have seen any more comment on this, which leaves me wondering if it happened. Would anyone care to enlighten those of us who don't use Facebook etc.? Advance apologies if there's something relevant elsewhere which I haven't found. Hoping All remain well in these difficult times. Regards, John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
