    If you look at the service sheet for the APT on the Hornby website, it shows the ‘22 announced versions will have magnetic couplings. I’ve fitted Hunt’s to mine-which has transformed it.

    According to this months Hornby Magazine, GT3 to be available in BR lined black, BR lined green and LMS black-let the frothing commence!

    Excellent page on the Southern email group gives the COM details. https://sremg.org.uk/emu/class415-mob.shtml

    To my eyes, I think it's a great idea (Ive ordered) and super memento of a special celebration. Pays homage to the LNER. Now where is my 171 Turbostar in Southern livery............

    I think you mean the 4 COM, that was a 4 EPB reformed with two compartment trailers. Only to be used in the peak and had a red cantrail stripe to denote (dangerous) compartment stock. This was in response to an violent incident .

    Well, yes, you have a point. But if one thinks about the volume of OO models made I guess it would be 95% + (?) with some form of Tension Lock. So whilst not strictly accurate, the general thrust point is not unreasonable. Depends on the relevance of 1950s history to TES readership.......

    I’ve ordered 4 x Jubilee MK3SD to run behind my Jubilee West Country! (Hides)

    Completely 100% agree with this. The lack of critical analysis and evidenced based evaluation skills is a 21st Century problem. Adding in emotional subjective opinions creates a toxic mix, resulting in erroneous judgments.

    They are certainly tight. I’ve got away with it on 4th, but agreed very limited articulation. Note you can’t invert one coupling, has to be a pair in the same Orientation as the magnets polarity will be wrong. (I’ve fitted about 700 of these couplings so far now on my stock. TOTALY transformational.)

    Oh and I’ve tested up to 16 cars in formation. No issues-though I’ve got twin MDMs as I found about 9 cars is the limit for a single MDM. And that’s on level track. opps NDM. But I’m sure you get the drift!

    My Hunt couplings are fine on 4th. Have you got the right ones in order? Took me a while to work it out; MDM had the medium, TBF the long and the U the tiny small ones. Hope it works for you.

    Mine arrived today! I think these are fair points. The couplings are really annoying. Can’t wait for the Hunt magnetic ones to arrive! But overall I’m very pleased. And especially pleased I got a extra powered MDM. Really needs it over 9 cars!
  13. miles73128
    Or use the new Hunt couplings magnetic APT sets. Then easy and robust!

    Reviewing the 2022 Hornby catalogue, shows the Midland Pullman HST and MK3s to be the new tooling!
  15. miles73128
    Absolutely, I has hoping for these too! I would guess the global semi conductor shortage has put paid to TTS for another 12 months....

    No, its was market value. Rapido under priced, it should have been more expensive to maximise yield - as the second runs is......

    Wow, it's great you have access to all the financials and business development meetings. Especially the investment ROI KPIs, margins, sales volumes, marketing costs, fixed costs, CapEx and write downs. Oh and Forex variables.......

    Please be VERY careful with ANY emails purporting to be from Royal Mail or couriers. I systematically ignore ALL emails - I ONLY track items on their own courier App for delivery. There is an even bigger phishing risk with SMS - absolutely DO NOT respond to any. The way I look at is, my liability is ONLY once the item has been delivered. The suppliers logistics are not my responsibility. Responding to any emails/SMS will confirm your details and could lead to scamming attempts.

    More TTS modern, Class73, EMU, DMU etc

    Mines just arrived, haven’t tested it yet, but all perfect visually.

    This is a really good clue. "It would be stupid coupled to otherwise cam-coupling vehicles if it retains the stupid bar arrangement." Not much point putting a cam coupling on the power cars to bogie mounted MK3s........ I think (hope) a new cam coupler MK3 slam door range is on the way! Going to be interesting to market all the current announced (2021) range, e.g. Blue Pullmans, if a new 2022 cam range is announced in Jan - unless they are migrated to the new design? _
  23. miles73128
    Ha! I have exactly the same issue!
  24. miles73128
    Now showing "out of stock" (sold out)? Maybe more coming with the 5/7 packs

    I wonder…. New edition of Hornby The Collector, page 49 an article about catalogues by SK. “but here is a tip, if you look carefully you might even spot clues as to what may appear in future years” 7 illustrated with 2018 at the top. LN with……
