Andy Y Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hornby have now announced their full 2015 range with a commitment that all the products included in this announcement will reach customers during 2015. The announcements should be read in conjunction with the early announcements made at Warley Show to get the full picture and as such those announcements have been included in this topic for completeness as it includes the relevant product codes, livery details and price which may not have been included in the news from Warley. Considered in totality rather than just the isolation of the subsequent announcements it's an ambitious programme for 2015 Hornby with four new steam locos, the previously announced King and Adams Radial and now a LSWR S15 4-6-0 and LNER J50. Add the Class 71 announced for 2016 and it's a lot of locos. Moving on to the coaching stock it's been some time since we've seen two ranges of coaching stock planned with the already announced LMS non-corridor stock now meeting the 1928 'K-Type' Pullman cars which will go down very well with the East Coast modellers in particular. There's no other wagons above the LMS Horse Box and the 21T hopper announced in November. There's plenty of evidence that previously announced locos are coming towards the market albeit a few month past their due date but there's a confidence from Hornby that supply issues are improving and evidence that 2015's announcements are well underway as can be seen from the early samples shown in the context of these releases. In Hornby's words: Hornby saw a break with tradition by making range announcements for 2015 at the Warley Model Railway Club show at the NEC in November 2014 and at a press event in Margate in December 2014. This has led to much debate about duplication from other manufacturers and will no doubt frame much of the discussion for 2015 as these models are reviewed by the enthusiasts. Hornby has a range in 2015 of over 500 items with over 50% being brand new. New train sets, new locomotives, new train packs, new coaches, new rolling stock, new railroad items, and of course new buildings. This commitment to product development is significant, and full specification has been provided to the model and hobbies press who will share the details in their forthcoming publications. The key focus for Hornby in 2015 is delivery. We have had a challenging few years with our delivery, and during this time the gap between supply and demand has widened. This bodes well for the Hornby range as we expect to see growth in the market for our products as we increase our production volumes. Allied with this we must significantly improve our communication to satisfy a voracious appetite for all the details of the product, and if there are any expected changes. In 2015 we will attend 3 major railway shows in Glasgow, Birmingham and London where modellers will be able to come and meet the team behind the brand face to face. During the year we will be looking to increase our interaction with our supporters, and continue to work hard to enable them to have a greater understanding of our future developments. Steam Locomotives New Announcements LNER J50 The purposeful tank sat at the top of the LNER wishlist in terms of 0-6-0s; the locos were introduced in the early part of the 1930s with all surviving through to nationalisation spreading from their initial usage in West Yorkshire to cover much of the former GNR and into GER territories. All were withdrawn from revenue service by 1963. None survived into preservation so it's a case of traditional research and design to bring us a J50 for the 21st century.

But Hornby will be launching with three models in LNER and BR late and early crest liveries with detail variations, particularly with respect to the bunker. It is anticipated that this will be an autumn arrival.

The S15 was an all-rounder for the Southern conceived as a heavy freight loco but were frequently found on passenger services especially relief services. They lasted through to 1966 in British Railways service with no less than six examples in preservation. Copyright and courtesy of Lincolnian (Brian) Hornby plan to produce several variations with detail variations and different cab/tenders permutations. This model is approaching the tooling stage and it is hoped may be available around June/July.

As these models are now tooled and at the decoration sample stage it is hoped they will be available around May.

There's still no firm news about the Thomas range and it's unfortunate for the potential youngest model audience that it's missing from the announcements for a second year. In recognition of other developments within the Hornby group it's good to report positive news from within the other brands. 2015 is a very special year for Corgi as it is the 50th anniversary of the company winning the inaugural toy of the year award with the Aston Martin DB5 as seen in the James Bond Goldfinger movie. This car went on to sell in excess of 6,000,000 units, and in November 2015 the new James Bond movie, Spectre, is released adding the next instalment to one of the world’s most successful movie franchises. In the more traditional Corgi range we have new trains, trucks, buses and cars to please our collectors with an impressive model of the Short Sunderland Mk iii that will certainly excite our aviation enthusiasts. 2015 is also the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain so we have special commemorative packs which will sell alongside our continuing World War I centenary range. Will 2015 be the year Bloodhound SSC becomes the first car to break 1,000 mph? We’ll have to wait and see but a replica is available now! I think most people remember what a fantastic toy the Corgi Aston Martin DB5 is, and in 2015 we will share it with a new audience. In 2016 Corgi will celebrate its 60th anniversary so it would be fantastic if we do see Bloodhound SSC become the fastest car in the world with it being part of our range. Corgi has plenty for the collectors in 2015, and we are working really hard on ways to expand the collector market through broadening the distribution of our catalogue. 2015 is looking to be a very exciting year for Scalextric with Formula 1 teams Mercedes, and Mclaren maintaining some of the most exciting drivers with Hamilton, Rosberg, Alonso and of course hot off the press Jenson Button!Coupled with the most desirable racing cars we have one of the most exciting movie lines with the Spectre James Bond set coming out ahead of the movie release, and supported in our micro range. Sales of Simpsons micro scalextric have surpassed expectations as they celebrate their 25th year, and will continue as part of the character licensed range .People shouldn’t overlook My First Scalextric either which provides the perfect entry into the world of Scalextric. New cars and future developments of Scalextric App Race Control will provide plenty of further excitement throughout the year with just under 50% of the range being brand new in 2015! Scalextric is set for a fantastic year as we have two of the most exciting F1 teams for the 2015 race season, and this is coupled with it being a James Bond year. The addition of the tech in our App Race Control system opens up many avenues for expansion of the racing action, and we are looking forward to a steady release programme of racing cars throughout the year! Airfix will benefit from three major anniversaries through the course of 2015 as the centenary anniversaries of World War I continue, we recognise the Battle of Waterloo taking place 200 years ago and the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.Models reflecting these episodes in our history will be available ahead of the key dates, and allow the modeller to develop a story around these anniversaries. Coupled with the comprehensive support that the Humbrol range offers we will continue to increase our distribution globally. From Spring Summer 2015 we will be TV advertising our Quickbuild cars as we bring in the Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron, and Mclaren P1 cars to join the growing range. These super cars have proved of global interest and are taking the Airfix brand into new outlets across the globe. The Airfix range will benefit from a period of anniversaries that are relevant and of interest to a broad spectrum of modellers. We also expect to see an increased engagement with the Quickbuild product globally as we roll out our range of super cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple identity account Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thank you very much Andy Y.Well this year's announcements from Hornby....what should I say? I am utterly pleased. The wallet is going to cry. Got about 5 things to add to the list. It is quite an interesting topic about the price, some have risen no doubt but the prices of many have stayed the same or dropped. The Class 67's have stayed the same and the Class 90 has dropped. I'm pleased. A GWR King, Wabtec Sentinel, DBS Class 90, EWS Class 92 and FGW Class 08 make my list. Contemplating a S15.

Multiple identity account Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 And nothing in N.... Gotta say it - "Nothing in it for me" Sorry. Hornby's N gauge models will be done under the Hornby/Arnold banner. So if at all anything will be done in N gauge it will be announced by Arnold along with their other N gauge items. Sorry if my "disagree" has upset you. But in the past (not to be taken directly at you) Andy York has specified to stop cluttering these announcement topics with "nothing in it for me" posts. Furthermore in the past Simon Kohler on behalf of Hornby UK has made it very clear that the N gauge range is personally handled by Arnold and planned by them. The N gauge Brighton Belle was much of a surprise for Hornby UK as it was for us. So judging by that and what Simon said it's most likely that Arnold is in-charge single-handedly with the N gauge side. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class 74 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Unfortunatley nothing for me, except the EWS class 67 with other numbers than 67001! ;-) (Thanx Hornby, that makes me happy!) Bit disapointed that there are no blue/grey and/or IC swallow Mk3's for loco hauled trains. And I think it would be nice to see some Chiltern Mk3's + DVT (and class 67). And a complete new class 92.. but probably next year... Uh, and where's the Colas Class 60??? I was counting on that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green FYE 2Hal may also find a home here though a FYE 2Bil would have been guaranteed one. It appears the air-cons are priced the same whether or not we require internal lighting. Not sure of the logic there. I'm not a fan of interior lighting as it so often can't be seen (or isn't effective) yet draws more current. Lit air-cons with tinted windows ..... hmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2014 And finally... The S15 and Bude! Nice one. J50? And folk say Bulleid locos are ugly ;-p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'll snap up a sentinel with outside drive myself. The rest is all very nice, but not my personal cup of tea. Thank the Lord for that actually. My wallet was threatening to leave me for another man... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2014 Throughly disapprove of the heavily graffitied coach, the sort of crimanl activity that should be strongly stamped upon, not encouraged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanders Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 And nothing in N.... I have to admit, I'm a little surprised Hornby haven't extended their foray into N; maybe they're waiting for sales figures from the 5BEL before committing any further?

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted December 17, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2014 Some interesting and useful choices there. The J50 has been much needed. Hopefully some of the other 0-6-0's from the LNER in the future? Is it me or do those samples look like they were 3D printed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 17, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2014 Overall an impressive (once again) programme with some commercially sound, and interestingly priced in some cases, models. Hopefully they will achieve their production promises and presumably the item lists only new/new livery items as I see the 'Halls' are not listed? One or two interesting livery 'oopsies' although no doubt they can be corrected before going into production - the 'Castle' (5043) is in the wrong livery as it didn't gain its double chimney until 1958 while I notice the excellent looking LMS horsebox in BR livery is carrying a symbol indicating that it's been condemned. But that apart a commendable commitment, I think, to the 'modeller market', and something for the collectors too with the 'silver' A4s showing that some of Hornby's commercial acumen has carried on into the new regime.

Pint of Adnams Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Andy, Thanks for the announcement details. Can you please clarify what is the story behind the Thompson and Gresley coaches - are they genuinely in post-1956 Maroon as opposed to the previous releases that were described in the catalogue and marketing details as Maroon but were actually and more properly produced in Crimson? For GE fans the D16/3 62581 was a Norwich engine while B17 61646 was variously at March, Stratford, Colchester and Cambridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
