More likely, I hope , Hornby see positive vibes generated by launches at GETS and want to get in on the act . Really hope it’s not another duplication they’ve been working on for years . Big Bertha not really Hornby territory . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, whatever it is, it’s a duplicate of something someone has just announced. The “steam” in the clip, is perhaps someone in the Hornby marketing dept stamping their feet, like a petulant child! 🤣 Clouds of dust, being filmed under said stamping feet… 🤣🤣 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MrTea Posted October 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) An announcement of an announcement - Hornby really know how to set off the frothometer! The fact that the email of the announcement arrived on the morning of GETS, just as other manufacturers were making their announcements seems an unlikely coincidence to me… Edited October 8, 2022 by MrTea 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanN91 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 If it's steam related perhaps it could be further announcements for Hornby marking the 100th Anniversary of Flying Scotsman the centenary in 2023 products. A range of Flying Scotsman locomotives in retro packaging from all eras of Hornby's history? And a special train set or something? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Grouping fan Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 It would kind of make sense for them to bring back a live steam 4472/60103 for next years 100th anniversary as a special one off release at a probably inflated price. Could the success/popularity of the Dublo range give them justification of such a release? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
