RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2023 Boring I know, but some nice GWR loco's on Gilding Auctions 24/01. Not bad charges and postage is OK from experience. I'd appreciate it if anyone does bid on the WR versions on there as I'll withdraw. Happy new year belatedly to all you lovely people.

And are they going to drop themselves into a very nasty bear trap at the front end I wonder? Looks like there might possibly be some amusement value - maybe?😇 Or is this a very crafty red herring and the clue is not so much what it is but where it is and the sum adds up to 3 instead of 15?

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm curious regarding Hornby's new releases but that's as far as it goes. The manner of which they go about their business has been the source of increasing discomfort for me for some time now. Their delivery record is haphazard to say the least and their decision to disappear down a TT rabbit hole is more than odd but could explain the slippage in the release of previously announced OO items. The only loco that could tempt me, based on the current offerings/proposed is the 78xxx but the pricing is a tad salty. So, in short, this is not an excited sheep. I just hope they don't announce a 14xx simply because I think there are plenty of manufacturers who would now make a better job of it.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted January 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 A genuine question for someone who's been in this hobby longer than my thirty years. I'm not being facetious but when was the last time Hornby released a brand new tooling GWR freight wagon as I can't remember one. Obviously the horsebox is a brown vehicle.😉 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted January 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hello Robin Just had a look through Pat Hammond's Ramsay's British Model Trains and can't find any. I remember speaking to Simon Kohler some years ago about how their wagon stock was 'thin on the ground' (to put it nicely!). Brian 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question: When did Hornby introduce a new GWR Restaurant carriage? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
