Not quite "courtesy of" if no permission has been asked to repost my pictures, but as I was going to post a link on this thread to my blog in due course it doesn't really matter. http://grahammuz.com/2014/09/15/latest-on-new-southern-related-model-in-development-and-or-production/

 

Where were these photos taken Jeffery?

These pictures of the latest Hornby Drummond 700 Class Engineering Prototype were taken with the kind permission of Hornby via Simon Kohler at last weekends RMweb Live show and posed on Alan Paley's Loughborough Road layout.

HiLux, my blog post linked to above only contains those items Southern related such as the 700, 2 Hal and Hornby/Arnold 5 Bel and also the Kernow O2.

I know Andy took other photographs which I am sure will appear in due course.

I must say these image are spot on. A very nice looking model. Can't wait......though I suppose I will have to.....Ho hum.

Agree it looks gorgeous. But the 2-HAL having just landed, a day or two to get one's financial breath back is no bad thing....

That's interesting as in late August another member who is a retailer gave the then expected dates from the Hornby trade website (In the Forum - Where are the Hornby models on 26th August) and all 3 700s were showing as expected in Margate on 14th October. The other releases he gave such as the P2 and HAL seem to be panning out if a bit earlier than forecast at that time.

The dates for these seem to be wandering about a bit. Hattons still have 5th September for two of the 700s (which is clearly not correct unless my calendar is fast!) and 14th October for the other (which might be).

 

I asked my local stockist if he could clarify things last week and he got the Hornby trade web page up which listed "expected at Margate" 5th December for all three.

hi folks, 

 

I got this message from Hattons today:

Hornby R3238 Class 700 0-6-0 E695 in SR 1920's/1930's livery £101.90

Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us on or after Friday 5th December 2014

 

cheers,

 

Keith

I still have a half-built BEC kit!

 

If it fancies a ride around the world, I'm using them to make ex HR barneys and CR jumbos, and another 1 or two wouldn't go amiss!

 

Can't use the new one, as the motor's too high up!
