RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted November 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2022 53 minutes ago, 7802 said: Given that it refers to an experience, how about controllers that look like the controls of a locomotive. A steam one on a fake boiler back head and a diesel control panel. Seems like the sort of gimmick they’d come up with. Hornby have bought out ZTC? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted November 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2022 A couple of weeks or so ago Andy Y put up a status that he would be mostly holding his tongue, I wondered if it might be something to do with the Hornby 2023 launch to the press so with this now, could the experience be the Hornby 2023 range launch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Nova Scotian Posted November 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2022 A chance to experience something special? Something new and exciting for all of us? They must be committing to decent model shop allocations of their range for popular preorders. And not cancelling those allocations to redirect to online direct orders. That would be a fantastic experience we could all appreciate. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted November 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2022 A chance to experience something special ……… I’m guessing it’s not a new loco but something to apply across the range . A feature of some sorts . Steam is an obvious one as they had it on their program last year and so far only on the Scotsman I think . Or maybe something virtual? Nice to see them doing something at Warley . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
