What I’m saying is that you cannot , in any retailer , buy a current model ( most recent tooling, new ) off the shelf of BR original colours - and yet they have th time and production capacity to produce made up ridiculous liveries that’ll end up in the bargain bin no doubt . Hornby seem to like filling that up on a regular basis 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Blue/Grey at the moment would be fictitious anyway due to the presence of CDL on the tooling* (and that includes the new tooling that's coming this year). * Excluding the bodged ex-Lima ones which then have printed CDL when they should have it.

Unless you are the older side of 90 I don't think you have long to wait for a brand new class 50 - as competition to the Hornby versions. Bet they will have the parking brake chains too !!!!

surfsup Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) So, the mystery TransPennine Express IET model seems to be making a surprising appearance again - this time in Network Rail's Transpennine Route Upgrade promotional material. Surely it cant be long before it's announced as part of the main range? (yes, that is an odd hybrid 150/1 / 195 too!) https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=148188837907078&set=a.148184981240797 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=148188987907063&set=pb.100081478877971.-2207520000..

Edit, I actually think it's a photoshop as the light pods on the sides near the doors are missing, these are definitely on the Hornby model And as @Kaput says, the TPE 802 was announced in January.

hellotojasonisaacs Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) 3d printed samples of the upcoming class 755/4 FLIRT at GETS today. Motor to be a low profile type in one driving car and most likely arriving Easter 2023 according to SK. (I can never seem to get photos to upload the right way up here so rotate your device/head!)

No Decorum Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 So far it looks tempting. If only Hornby doesn’t make a mess of it. Light bleed, derailments, melting roofs, plastic pantographs and awkward decoder and speaker installation are all things which should not have got through QC but have done recently. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes out as a corker I might buy one as they are a cool looking unit. Not in region, but given my stock is ECML I could have a Peterborough day and hide the Northern/TPE stuff 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted October 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2022 Some pretty impressive detail on the FLIRT Impressive looking model, even in 3D printed form (and even through I’m slightly miffed Hornby doing means we’ll probably never see one in N Gauge) Tom. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes to something that launching new gauge range to an unknown new market trumps releasing a model that serves nearly 30% of the nation. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
