RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted October 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2022 Perhaps it’s the production synchronised steam effect loco that was seen in early prototype form on the tv series. Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercap Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Having had their mistake of putting their range of Hornby Dublo 2-rail in blue-striped boxes pointed out to them, they are going to make them even more accurate, so they are bringing back Hornby Dublo 3-rail... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenser Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 To please many posters - an announcement that they've finally seen the error of their ways and decided to close down, with everything half price in the closin g down sale.. More reallistically 8 hours ago, woodenhead said: TT A3 as hinted by Accurascale earlier in the week perhaps.... I've been convinced someone else was going to make a major TT-120 announcement. What we've seen so far looks very much like the follow up and support announcements, but without the core player Hornby have Continental TT interests, there is history, and they have no British N interests. They are certainly a candidate for the Main Player in British TT-120. And here is a major announcement..... Given Peco's trailers I would expect a GWR loco to be in the mix too . A Pannier could be done as 57xx and 8750 flavours - effectively two locos with one suite of tooling We shall see... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going2theDogs Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi All, I reckon it could be the start of many ‘Flying Scotsman’ as the centenary approaches next year.

rembrow Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I think it will be an historical loco, around a film Hornby is making, about a group of enthusiasts trying to save a branch line, and who use a vintage loco. It will be Sanspareil and will be in a film pack called The Thunderfield Titbolt. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefen1988 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Different Scale maybe. I laught when they come up with british TT or finally N Stuff.

It could be a production sample or decorated EP of one of the big steamers Hornby is working on. Turbomotive or a P2. Big Bertha or the Caprotti Black 5 are outside possibilities.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) What have Hornby got in the ancient tooling cupboard that could be dragged out, the tagline line 'return of an old and much requested favourite' added and then served up for hundreds of quid that has a new tooling version just or about to be announced by a rival manufacturer? Perhaps it is the return of the sandpaper sound mechanism or the naff 1970's glowing firebox feature.
