rembrow Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The first EP of the Standard Class 2 was shown by Hornby in todays Engine Shed. Looks to be shaping up as a fine model. Development seems to be ahead of most of the 2020 announcements (apart from Rocket of course). They also covered the research visit to the preserved example. Nice edition which seemed to include a tempter, (see the final photo of the Class 2 photo set). Perhaps going back to the teasing of old. Strange this model hasn't attracted more interest on here. I'm really drawn to the smaller standard classes and hope that if this sells well, it will lead to a Standard 2 tank. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is the amount of black liveried BR locos (Standard classes and otherwise) already in circulation, which remain heavily discounted and unsold. This EP sample looks stunning.
