Hornby had been using correct heights for new tooled models for several years, but for some inexplicable reason reverted to Tri-ang dimensions for the new tooled HAA. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't they done this before? https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/lmsbrakevan/e41aa0c8 [note needs black lookout - and is the end yellow?] All you need now are some silver and black Bogie bolster C's https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brcabledrumcarrier/e1bb3fa9b and a freshly painted Black Plate, (years after this colour was no longer official) https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brwinklezvo/e1c88e041 But don't put a Thomas the tank on the train or punters will think you are taking the proverbial.

HExpressD Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The ends of the model are yellow, and the guards ducket is black, it would appear that it may have been blue initially in the render however I would guess that it was spotted at Hornby before the model went into production. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just astounded there are two in a pack. So I will probably cancel a few packs or buy them and sell on depending on how the dealers feel about it. I don't want to screw them over so will have them if they want me to, but would rather they sold them elsewhere if I don't want them. And just seen which shop you are. I was in there on Thursday!

I'm sure they were about £80 MRP when first announced, and more rare than unicorn poo - I recall a discussion on here where the "limited production run" announced for them seemed to comprise all of about 7 models! Always fancied a rake of these but for £83 a wagon when they were first done by Hattons and the original MRP on this batch, I dismissed them. I haven't seen anything further about them at all until reading the posts above..... now kind of wishing I'd tried harder to find some to pre-order when first announced! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamescav95 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Received four packs today. Can confirm it's an incredible model for £50. The wagons are flawless and the details printed to the highest standard. Not one scuff mark or wonky line in sight. Would recommend trying to get some. Only downside is that they are not a numbered limited edition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
