ColinB Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I received an EMail from Rails this afternoon listing some new releases from Hornby. On there there was a TTS fitted Railroad model. Now firstly we were all led to believe TTS is dead and there will be no more TTS decoders, then there is the price. I am not going to quote prices as people get upset, but go onto the Hornby website and see the price of the TTS fitted one and non TTS fitted one and then calculate the difference which will be the price of the TTS decoder. You will find it is the most expensive TTS decoder ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Johan DC Posted February 26 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26 I bought Hermit and a TXS decoder for about €10 more than Hornby asks for that. And for a little over half this price, you van buy a Railroad Deltic or a 47 with TXS. Do these FS really sell, at that price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 I was talking to a Model Shop owner this afternoon and it appears the rumour is that the new management is taking it back to the pre SK era, more like a toy company. As the Flying Scotsman it looks like it is a mess up, like the 8f. This is not the time to be making those sort of mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted February 26 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26 (edited) So does that mean we can "look forward" to the third return of Mr Kohler at some point in the future? 🤣 Edited February 26 by Fair Oak Junction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Railroad though, of course it's aimed at the "toy" market. They already do a top range A1 and A3! This appeared a few weeks ago ISTR. https://www.locomotionmodels.com/exclusives/steam-locomotives/flying-scotsman-1924-british-empire-exhibition-condition Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
