Stevelewis Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm hoping that too. I know Hornby havent had the most reliable track record with steam Locos lately, but given the amount of locos that Heljan have had with their only UK steam loco so far, I would much prefer Hornby to produce this loco. I would point out Heljan DO produce Continental outline steam locos, which are of high quality, run superbly, and are relatively expensive!

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah I knew of their great continental steam Locos. Just a shame their first UK steamer had so many problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2014 Very surprised by the 71. Not surprised by the Radial though The king looks good too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2014 It seems everyone bar Kernow MRC is to produce an Adams Radial. Money reserved until product quality ascertained here. No brand loyalty whatsoever.

Black 5 Bear Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 My wallet has just heaved a great sigh of relief, there's nothing in the newly announced Hornby models that I wil be buying in 2015/16. Chance would be a fine thing even on pre-orders due to their new distribution policy. As has been said before, Customers are easily lost but not so easily gained !!!

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2014 The Bluebell must have made a fair few quid in dragging the Adams tank out to be scanned and measured by all of these potential manufacturers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hornby has a track record of modelling stock with Kentish connections, not what I actually predicted to appear from them for 2015, but not surprised either in the end. The class 71 is ideal for modelling the Golden Arrow post-1961 and the surviving preserved Adams Radial spent some time on the East Kent Railway. I'm also pleased they've announced the 21T hopper to replace the ex-Airfix version, there are quite a few details to trap the unwary between the LNER and BR versions. The LMS horse box will add another item of non-passenger coaching stock beside the LMS CCT. Following on from these announcements, I won't be surprised if Hornby announce models of the 1951 Pullmans and a completely new SR gangwayed bogie van (replacing the venerable Tri-ang version) in December to complement the class 71.

The Black Hat Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 The class 71 and Radial will no doubt please a lot of those modelling the Southern region. Again, as I've said on posts recently its mopping up areas of the engine fleet for the region that already is well served. Even if people dont have a 3rd rail you can bet some are using the slam door stock and will have the 71 too. The adams radial will soon be seen on sheds everywhere, suddenly turning up, well away from its little branch line its renowned for working. Still, if thats what sells and thats what people want then all to the good. Meanwhile, the 21T hopper is good news. It gives some of us a decent wagon to put behind the freight workhorses a lot of us are buying but have little to run with save the Bachmann 16T mineral wagon. This puts heavy freight back onto the scene and for those wanting a really decent bit of traction in the form of the K1, and Q6 then its something to cheer. As for the announcement, there cant be much left for the December traditional brief on whats coming given this and the previously announced King surely is the whole package for 2015.... or do Hornby have another surprise yet?

RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2014 If I were cynical soul, I might suggest that the choice of prototypes to model gives the impression of an established company with ongoing supply chain and QC issues attempting to throttle two new competitors at birth.

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2014 http://www.Hornby.com/news/warley2014/ 71 and Adams Radial....... Interesting to note on the above announcement that a number of the new models are already available for preorder on the Hornby website........ Another kick in the stomach for Hornby retailers?

Southernman46 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Rather than anything new or duplicate, I'd rather see the following existing stuff in BR blue............. LNER CCT LMS CCT 2-HAL Although just having looked at the EP sample in an e-mail from Hornby (12:45) I like that 21t hopper a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad McCann Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 There was me getting my Bill Bedford LMS Horsebox out to build too. Know what? I still am, but this should be a nice RTR model. The 21 tonner is also an excellent shout for northern modellers. An 0-6-0, 4-4-0 or small passenger tank used north of the Tyne-Solway line would be welcome at some point, but I believe we're increasingly well served there on the kit front so it's no great sweat where locos are concerned. None of the loco offerings have any relevance whatsoever in my personal field of interest but the CADs all look promising; the 71 is a particularly elegant machine.

jonny777 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 The 71 could be good for anyone modelling the GC late in the 1950s, as long as the loco is in as new ex-works condition. On a commercial video somewhere in my collection there is a great clip of a new loco being towed southbound through Nottingham Victoria by a WD 2-8-0 circa 1959.

Anglian Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 If they do the Radial in an LSWR livery, historical or preserved I shall be buying it. Ever since I saw it working on the Bluebell as a child (in LSWR livery) it's long been a favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
