RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have just gone through the Hornby site and it shows Adderley Hall with the 3500 gal tender and Rood Ashton Hall with the 4000 gal. My apologies to those I argued with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Prism Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 4901 Adderley Hall is an unfortunate choice. It didn't have a lhs lubricator pipe feed, it had knuckle pins on the front coupling rod, and its 3500g tender as initially fitted had a different frame pattern.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2013 Being a railroad model I don't suppose they will cater for minor differences. A shame because a too of the range Hornby hall would have been fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted December 18, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2013 I see the Railroad Halls are being released on 1st Jan at a price of £67 on the Hattons web site. i wonder a) will it arrive on time and more importantly what you get for the money! The million dollar question...... Is it worth worrying about when I have a hangover on New Years Day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse things to regret when you wake up with a hangover on New Years Day 4901 Adderley Hall is an unfortunate choice.

Miss Prism Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What would be a better choice then? Something like 4999? (Although that is probably not typical of its second batch, and seems to have borrowed a 3500g tender from somewhere.) I don't think the body and tender feature set Hornby has chosen will give any GWR Hall without some degree of minor alteration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 As I do not model December 1928, I am not worried. 4901 will be fine for my 1930's period. I have images of 4901 with a later Collett 3,500 gallon type and the 3,500 as issued by Hornby, In addition, it will be renamed anyway. At that price I have ordered two, and it is still less than the cost of an unbuilt DJH (with a 4,000 gallon tender of no use for my period), plus wheels and motor, Mike Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B15nac Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I see the pictures of rood Ashton hall has separate handles on the rear of the tender but not so on the pre production model! So does this mean the hall in the main range has separate handrails an the railroad one has molded!? Regards Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2014 Do any of the people with access to Hornby's trade website have any dates for the release of R3169 Olton Hall? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Amid all the fuss, Hornby have released illustrations for the two GWR Halls.................. R3170 - No. 4901 Adderly Hall is in a more customary green GREAT <arms> WESTERN livery. So two mysteries less now. Both are listed as "NEW" and both have 10-spoked bogie wheels, but I can't make out the cabside hand rails in these images. The model illustrated has no vertical handrail on cab, moulded handrails on tender rear corners and moulded smokebox dart. The black lining is missing from between orange lining on the cabside and tender. How much of this will translate onto the sale item I don't know. So a little bit for modellers to do.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2014 The black lining on cab side and tender is always missing on railroad models. r3169 is the same. r3205 in the main range is fully lined out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWR1962 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I read this thead with interest as I have a Bachmann Rav Hall limited Edition which is a lovely loco but face having to hard wire it for DCC. I am dismaid that Hornby will be producing a new hall with moulded handrails, cutting corners, such a shame, remember the Hardwick Grange of 2005 such nice details on that and DCC ready shirt button. I get red for Potter but why issue a Olton Hall in GWR livery, (see Hornby new releases website for pic) who wants it? My Bachmann Tender is late G Crest W like the current resto paint job on Rav. I like it much better than Great Crest Western. Not too hard to change though, just don't rub too hard. Buffers still have their Bachmann Halls in stock DCC ready and cheaper than on e-bay too. Would I want wartime black, maybe but most likely a ROD that has come through war and still awaits painting green again. I hope the new Hall does not come out with the plastic look of the LMS Compound. Such a shame. Era modelled, GWR 1946-1948 early BR with the odd time travel back to 1930.

RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted January 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just to clarify, the livery that Pitchford Hall has in that Pitchford Hall Train Pack (post war GW livery) is the heritage-only livery, or did she wear it from in the post war era too?

darren01 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Is this model just the HP one, just Great Western on the tender?. Darren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes Darren, it is Olton Hall in Hogwarts livery but GREAT ( CREST ) WESTERN on the tender. I don't get why they did this though. They hold the licence for the Hogwarts Express so its a bit of a mystery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 They did hold the license - they may not do so anymore. Harry Potter train sets have been out if the catalogue for some years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frobisher Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes Darren, it is Olton Hall in Hogwarts livery but GREAT ( CREST ) WESTERN on the tender. I don't get why they did this though. They hold the licence for the Hogwarts Express so its a bit of a mystery! If they produced it with the Hogwarts branding, then license fees would be payable and would pump the price up.

darren01 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi I can not find any info that this Hall ever carried this livery, seem to me that Hornby may have lost the licencing on the HP stuff, looks like Hornby just stuck the Great Western on it so they can sell them?.
