RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted January 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 The February 2023 Railway Modeller popped through my letterbox this morning and it contains a 3-page spread on the new items Hornby is announcing for 2023. Has someone jumped the gun? Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted January 9, 2023 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yes. 😆 Blame the Royal Mail; everyone did for Christmas. It's been somewhat of a leaky affair anyway but we try to be the last bastion of dignity here. ;) The announcements will be at 07.00 tomorrow and the full range will be covered on here in the morning; what's in the mags can only be the headlines and, I'm sure, it will be easier to navigate what's of interest (or not) on here than Hornby's site if previous years are anything to go by. If anyone blarts on here they'll get a 24 hour ban (at least). 7 3 1 1 1 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blarting, but a quick Google will reveal at least one retailer has jumped the gun. If you're the sort who minutely examines your Christmas presents to try and find out what's concealed under the wrapping, then that's your best bet! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the brochure Hornby and Bachmann merged in September 2023 and became Hornyman, something to do with getting more women interested in the hobby I believe.

So that's Hornby Magazine, by a country mile; Railway Modeller and 'a major retailer' spilling the beans early. Plenty of advanced practise for my 'nothing in it for me' post ;-) Edited January 9, 2023 by spamcan61 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted January 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 hopefully with the amount of leakage (a) Hornby's website won't fall over and (b) rmweb's won't either (hopefully Andy Y's fed the hamsters and got them up to speed). 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Prism Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I suspect Hornby's 2023 new OO stuff will be similar to Hornby's 2022 new stuff - a lot of warmed up old stuff at high prices. 2 10 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah, nemesis is tame these days (and one of them is closed for new track?). If you want something to make you feel inside out, I can highly recommend Velocicoaster :D That'll take your mind off some measly leaked models! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a sprinkling of new you'd hope. Come to think of it that's what every manufacturers range looks like (provided they're old enough to have made it out of nappies) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
