Madreddog Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 13 hours ago, surfsup said: Is that... ducks for cover... a long awaited increase in Quality Control... You mean like the Hornby Dublo standard 4 tank of the 50s? 100,000 made. Returns to the factory? 8. Probably a few minor issues that got dealt with by the retailers though. They could also hire someone who knows how to correctly design a gear train without floppy, draggy bearings that wear out rapidly. Oh, and use motors that don't sound like a washing machine with gravel in it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Rather than going for "live steam" they are doing "Live Diesel".... God knows how they will make it Euro 6 compliant though... 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 A new track system for OO, the 2K system. Code 75 rails on a grey "ballast effect" trackbase, designed to work with post 2000 Hornby trains. Starting with 1st radius plus new 5th and 6th radii curves, it captures the "finescale" and retro-look markets... 🤪🤪🤪 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 A return of the Triang brand with a value Princess, a Jinty , and a dock shunter, plus the return of the whole Transcontinental range including the Budd Railcar. And of course the Giraffe and Rocket cars, along with the whole Battle Space range. Gets my vote! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) OOPS - sorry, we should have said TT3🇬🇧 PS Owing to industrial inaction on the part of various railway industry trade union folk I am going to the Warley show on Sunday. So looking on the bright, and having no doubt that RMweb will fully report the various releases, announcements, appearances, and so on which take place on the Saturday, I'll at least know where not to waste my time on the following day.
