RMweb Premium petethemole Posted February 27, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's the first schematic for Bulleid's electric loco using a Pacific frame and running gear, to be encased in a modified air-smoothed casing with cab at each end.

HornbyA3Fan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Does anyone know if there is any difference between R3352 FGW Class 153, and past versions of Hornby 153? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted March 30, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2015 There shouldnt be any difference. Apart from the livery, the 153 is the same model released in 08 I believe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'd agree with Hilux...I doubt there will be any difference. It's best to ask Hornby though. Alot of items have a feature listed as "scale speed" this could mean different gearing for more prototypical speeds. Just check up on that. Older models may have been rockets and newer ones may actually be 153s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of Adnams Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just had a 'phone call from Bure Valley Models advising that two of the Maroon-liveried versions of the Thompson non-gangwayed coaches are in stock - the R 4652 Second and R4653 Brake Second with the Composite Lavatory to follow. Hornby refers to them as Thirds in the catalogue but the change of classification to Second came along with the change of livery in 1956. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovex Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 With an Adams Radial and an electic already announced for 2016, and with the recent announcement of the aircooled MN for next year, is Hornby going to have anything left to announce in December for 2016?!?! Except of course for some wagon with "2016" on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Budgie Posted March 31, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2015 They could announce another EMU, such as a 4COR or a 4SUB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2015 When can we start a Hornby 2016 wishlist thread? Oh - we have already..................... (Where's the facepalm icon when you need one?) Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Abel Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 They could announce another EMU, such as a 4COR or a 4SUB. I game for a 4-COR if anyone is "really" listening, boy would THAT be a seller, IMHO... mind you even though this is the Hornby thread, I think the 4CEP is a better product than the 4VEP, so either Bachmann need to make it, OR Hornby need to up their game if they do it - either way I'll pay for one fro whomever ships it first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I could also use one of these, but I won't hold my breath... Nice thought though. Apologies for the wishlisting moment of madness.

Except of course for some wagon with "2016" on it Just for clarity the Adams radial is part of the 2015 announcement and therefore not 2016, I can assure you that in addition to the original Merchant Navy (I assume you meant Air smoothed rather than air cooled?) and the class 71 Hornby do indeed have other things they are working on to announce for 2016 and beyond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyA3Fan Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How rare are the Hornby FGW Dynamic/Neon MK3 coaches? I know that Hornby has re-released another batch of the FGW coaches for 2015, but just wondered, especially since of deciding to invest in a few to make sure I don't miss out in the near future. On another thought, (maybe a bit off topic, but decided to join in) of the 2016 releases, and would like to see (fingers crossed) for the Glasgow Blue Train from Hornby. Wishful thinking.

RMweb Premium Legend Posted April 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2015 An upgraded (well knew actually) 'Airfix' GWR pre war Auto Trailer would be welcome I am sure.... WEB GWR pre-war Auto trailers.jpg Yes it would be nice but only at a more reasonable price than the ever escalating Bachmann one,but then again if Bachmann get away with the higher price why wouldn't Hornby jump on the same bandwagon. I fear unless someone makes a stand the majority of people could be priced out this hobby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted April 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2015 For most people at least the entry points to the hobby are Hornby and Bachmann.While you may scratch build or kit build I bet most of us do not. That's why I was quite deliberate in saying the majority of people could be priced out the hobby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 ...have I mentioned my left hand diodes at all... Perhaps you should investigate if your left arm is moonlighting: could it be cranking a handle which has some part in bringing the new announcements to market? ;-) Seriously, that's the real news. Announced December, and some has already arrived. Back to the heady days of Hornby's early years with Sanda Kan, when the new releases emerged with machine like regularity. I haven't yet got up to speed on the excitement of getting an 'Ally sloper' or 'Ardsley' tank. This must be the first all-new 0-6-0T newly tooled for this brand since it had the word 'Triang' attached to it, and the 'inaccurate for everything' wheelbase got locked in stone. (Could this be the new standard six-coupled tank loco 'power plant' for the next fifty years?) Not least of what leads to happy anticipation is the quality of the mechanism design and on track performance seen on the K1 and J15. At that standard Hornby are set fair with the J50 to give us something that performs at least as well as the current 08s or Bachmann's 03, something we haven't had yet in six coupled tank engines. (Or are the Bachmann 1F and E4 significantly improved in the mech. dept. over their previous six coupled tankies?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Train wasp Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I wonder if Hornby would consider making a Bulleid 4DD to go with their 2HAL and 2BIL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 5 months after it was announced, I am utterly amazed that there is still no Hornby Adams Radial thread! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
