No kit either, all models I've seen are all static and handbuilt.

No, I don't think there has ever been any RTR model that looks like the Nilgiri X Class. There have only been static models

Thanks, I went by the post on the "2014 Announcements" thread here. I believe that at the start prices were not confirmed so there were changes.

They are the higher spec variant. It's immediately noticeable from the price of the models. Hornby did say that the new TTS sound would add 25 quid to the model. So if you compare the A4 and A3 to the P2, A1 and DoG you will get your answer A3 and A4 sell at an MRP of 99.99 P2, DoG and A1 sell at an MRP of 154.99 Cheers! J

You've done a lovely job!!! This is something Hornby could have easily done for an RTR model but their lack in being able to plan properly has taken them down. If they felt that we had a problem with a price they could have done two things - Check the price themselves, because we know for a fact that their models are over-priced (it's a hard thing to do, but if they do a good job and do their home work properly then they would know how to get a model to sell well) - Give us a quality product that was worth the price There are a lot of inconsistencies with Design-Clever. If you look at the 2BIL, 2HAL then DC has worked very well. Even the EP samples of the Drumond Class 700 looks nice. The P2 looks fairly good. The DoG could have easily been much better. The DC wagons are just OK and the Mk1s are pretty good for their price. Regarding Hornby's pricing strategy I have no clue about that. The 2014 releases of the Class 60 and 31 are 155 quid and more RRP.

Since I am not in the UK I will wait for your images!!!

What livery are the yellow Class 66s going to be in?

Fair enough, but I always ask RoS and MF also for updates and why do their's differ when compared to attons? I've always know the info given by MF and RoS to be more accurate and similar to what Hornby also tell me. It's a personal experience with Hattons that I've had and I haven't said they are bad.

I've no issue with Hattons but I have always know them to give wrong info about models re: details and delivery dates. When it comes to the Sentinel I have always followed updates from Hornby and RoS and they seemed to be accurate. Looking lovely Richard, waiting to see your further updates

Thank you so much for the added explanation M.Riddle Much appreciated. I tried explaining it to frobisher, I gave clear evidence that it is indeed a CG image. It's now upto him to either believe us or not. I did my part and gave what seems like solid evidence re: the coal load, greyish body (instead of black), white coupling rods instead of silvery) and floating wheels. Thanks once again.

It really isn't rocket science to judge by the looks of the images that it is a CG image. To add to that the simulated coal load, extremely whitesh connecting rods & wheels and the tender wheels hanging in the air are a complete give-away - There lies your evidence. If it was indeed a EP sample there would have been better images and the colour of the shell will be completely different. It is a well edited CG image. You can disagree to this but I am sure by the images that it isn't a EP sample. To me the colour, coal load, connecting rods etc are a give-away and seem to be like a CG image. If the model was like this (see image below) I would have been a little confused. If it were an EP sample it would have looked like the model below.

Hornby had stated that the RailRoad range is going to witness a big change in the coming years. I think after ther re-branding in Feb we shall get to know.

How many of these type of Sentinels are in use today (i.e. the type that Hornby made) and does anyone have images of them? I can't access flickr so that was a blow
