Same, I’d buy way too many class 90s and 91s

Looking forwards to this taking shape

well a quick update today, me and my girlfriend went to the club last night and finished all the new layout legs, we're using the same method as Mr.Waterman for the making tracks layout, next job is to level off the 2 new fiddle yard boards and then get the layout completely setup and the fiddle yard built... also got a couple of new locos and wagons for the layout

Also this behaviour could scupper Hornby in the future with other licensing deals as companies are less likely to work with those who try to bend around IP law

As someone who is educated in TV and film (I have a certificate) and one module of my course covered IP and such… SK’s gibberish is just that gibberish it’s like making the Optimus prime and saying “it’s a truck that existed” and then sticking a label of “inspired by the transformers”…. Hasbro would be breathing down your neck

I’d love to see a new class 90 and class 700 EMU, otherwise I’m not sure what locos or units there are gaps in the market for.

(Hopefully not a double post) I know I’ve been asking, well also for a class 90 to round out the n gauge electric locos…. Also have the class 700 on my wish list…. Just in case someone needs some ideas. also my wallet can only take so much punishment.

Will any be making their way into shops?

Will definitely be getting a set or 2 of the urban lights ones

Where are the files from?

I’m just going with masts, portals and headspans, no conductive knitting

Hi all, the title says it all, I’m planning to try making some masts and gantries. Has anyone got any diagrams for various masts and such used on the ECML so I can make 3D models. I plan to be able to print without supports for the register arms.

Contemplating how to weather all the ballast to make it a cohesive whole, currently there are 2 different tones of ballast, I plan to add OHLE portals and masts, cable trunking, relays and signals.

So I’m slowly working some more on the layout, got some new acquisitions over Christmas and a couple of months back I did some major repairs to the platforms as you can see from the photos, next job is to work on the new fiddle yard and get the entire layout setup so I can get it all lined up and working together smoothly.

Well the title says it all, if I remember correctly back when the OO class 91 was a possibility there was talk of an N scale model as well, we know how the OO one went but have had no word on the N scale one.

just ordered mine, kind of annoyed though as I originally asked my local shop to reserve one back when they were announced and apparently not they're not getting any due to the fact the class 92 was announced before Accurascale [or the shop, they weren't clear] had a trade account.... or something weird like that. Anyway I'm really looking forwards to when I can finally have the big beastie in my hands.

the Class 08 is a diesel shunter, it's notorious for it's lack of space for a decoder even though it's a relatively large shunter

Hornby class 08

Well you can’t avoid them as they don’t make said coaches anyway

Any chance of either the physical models or the STLs being sold or made available?

where as this is like throwing down your entire hand without even a hint of a reason.

yeah, I'm a bit perplexed by the show due to the "new" tooling HST but no mention of it elsewhere at the time of the shows release.

Just to address your points, no one is saying they should retool the PCBs on ALL their older models, but what they should be doing is with new releases such as the class 91 they should be using a more feature rich decoder standard, also with their TTS decoders being decoder on harness they don’t have to retool the decoders themselves but just have to put a different harness on them, they could even get rid of the speaker and wire the speaker wires into the 21 pin (or whatever standard they go for) socket to power speakers built into the locos, think Bachman class 90. regards Adam

I’m very much of the state of mind that Hornby need to move on in a great many areas, though namely DCC functionality and lighting for modern image models, their stubbornness to adhere to the 8 pin format and simple lights is baffling especially with companies like Bachman and Accurascale bringing more advanced models to market for comparable or even cheaper prices (see Hornby class 91 and compare to Accurascale class 92 and Bachman class 90)

Being from the Peterborough area and being born in 94, I only really remember class 91s, HSTs, class 321s, 317s, 365s, the odd charter train and class 90s on replacement duties
