RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’ve always liked the Hornby Class 50’s but I feel that there are several liveries that Hornby have missed or done limited run. I’d like to see Hornby do a refurbished version but the first few that were released in standard BR blue which I think has never been done. 50007 ran like this on the mainline until painted in GBRf colours and D400/50050 can be seen running on the mainline in this livery, so two options. Also like to see a re-release of the original “toothpaste” NSE livery as I think it’s only been done once awhile ago and again, 50017 was seen in this livery on the mainline until recently, . Not sure if there are any other liveries that could also be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium amwells Posted January 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) So, I think in terms of numbers not modelled, we have: 50001 50003 50005 50006 first in refurbished blue 50009 50012 50014 50016 50017 LMS crimson?! 50019 Laira DCE blue? 50022 50023 - some good options here I think - ghost white, large logo blue but with small logos? 50025 50026 early NSE with black window surrounds 50028 50029 50030 50032 50034 50036 50038 50039 50040 50041 50042 50043 50044 BR two tone green as preserved?! 50047 if duplicating, preservation era Loadhaul and Intercity considering it’s been around for the best part of 20 years, that means that including limited editions (but excluding some duplicates e.g. 50007 about three times, 50037 etc), that’s an average of about 1 per year. 30 years to get through the class!

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 16, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2021 There’s also those Class 50’s in large logo with black roofs and those in blue, so you have to do a lot of research. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halvarras Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Would there be any takers for one in bog standard unnamed BR blue with central (ish) double-arrow logo? Appeared late 1973 on 50036 and eventually carried by all by 1977 (except 50017 which still had its 4 cabside logos when named - and I'm not sure about 50034), but never done RTR - even by Lima ! You could still have it named in this condition, if Revenge or Ajax would be acceptable. Or was it just TOO dull?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyfour fiftyfour Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Semi interested in an early version NSE provided the price isn't too naughty, they seem quite scarce after just one initial release some while ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
