RBE Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 All I will say is that we didn't go into it blind without any knowledge of their plans regarding the loco. 'They' would say that of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'They' would say that of course. Quite, and understandably you would say/imply the opposite. However ""their"" researcher not doesn't work for them andnI believe hasn't shyed away from spilling beans but has stayed true to this 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Tbh I really don't think there's any need for a tit for tat, its water under the bridge. You can believe whatever you are told, however also bear in mind that there are others 'in the know', us being one of them, that knows the full story. In all honesty 'they' probably did us a favour as it turned out. 8 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Well, whatever the timescales and whatever the Hornby apologists think, I wouldn't have bought the 91 but have a 56 on order, plans for another and will be ordering some 60s so yes, the 91 snatch has done Cavalex a favour for my layout. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 We could have had a better 91 and mk4’s, but unfortunately we dont. Even worse, the new mk4’s really aren't much better than the old ones either. But the 60.. I am genuinely interested at why you picked a 60 (over nothing else in particular) and does this mean your going to be going for the heavy freight hat trick with a Grid, Tug and Bone ? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugs Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Well, this is very exciting, for potentially obvious reasons! Shame about the damage to my wallet tho... :D 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’m probably happy with my Hornby one but huge credit to You. It looks stunning. I’m sure it will do very well. 66738 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM47079 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Lovely model, hope someone does 60062 in its steel on steel vinyl wrap. That would be nice 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'd still buy a Cavalex 91. Just sayin' 😛 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richscylla Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 This looks stunning! Will certainly pick up one of the earlier ones, but a Transrail one would be great at some point! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, South-East Rail said: Excellent news! I only ask that we get 60081 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel' at some point. Ed I’ll be waiting for that one as well. Surely that will be a special Ed announced from someone. The Hornby 60 has always been very highly regarded, only let down by its coupling pocket issues. It still ranks highly amongst their best models and it will be interesting to see how this one plans to better it.

virginhst539 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Twice in the last month i have finished a model of a loco just for a new one to come along! These look stunning, sure another 60 in the fleet would not hurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2023 A bit off my radar in most scenarios, however i might just be able to justify an EWS one to go with the secondhand Hornby one I only just got... 🙄 😉 But, paying for the 56s I have on order will have to remain my priority.
