A question for those who have 1980 and 2020 versions - how close a match is the dark grey paint between the two releases?

Pleased to see they are finally doing Queen Mary. This is the last of the original 5 (blue) to be modelled since scale length was introduced some 20 years ago.

Love Hurts - Nazareth.

Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd.

Certainly a much needed update to such a ubiqutous loco but part of me feels this is a bit of a missed opportunity for Hornby and they should have gone for a full blown Accurascale type launch with LOADS of different variants etc. offering each with either analogue or all the bells and whistles. 

I read it or heard it on one of the YouTube reports that this new tooling with its variations will allow them to model 800 out of 842 variants.

I'll Meet You At Midnight - Smokie.

Painted Horse - Deep Purple.

See Emily Play - Pink Floyd.

Ahh,rocket railways, the true hallmark of honesty. They said that model railways were too expensive for people on a budget and it was their mission to fix that, and they certainly deliver. What an offer! Reminds when I messaged them about the fact that they were selling a broken Lima class 67 with no box, no detail pack for 110 quid, and their answer to the problem was to send me an offer for it for 100 quid. Cant beat good old Rocket Railways can you? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-Hornby-BR-Green-Class-40-D232-Empress-of-Canada-/114967397768?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Heres mine, out the box and fitted with Hornby TTS.

Don't think they had flashing tail lamps in those days.

On 29th December Hattons told me (in reply to my enquiry) that they had cancelled my order some 8 months previously, and although they assure me that I "should" have received an email at the time (dead right, I should have been told!) I most definitely did not. As a result I will not be buying from them again. Ever.

It was well documented months ago that Hatton's had cancelled all Hornby pre-orders as they cannot guarantee that Hornby would let them have the stock.

Roll Over Beethoven - E.L.O.

Strange Kind Of Woman - Deep Purple.

Bye Bye Love - Everly Brothers.

Wishing Well - Free.

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake.

For me there is way to many aircraft I like to pick a top 3 but one aircraft I experienced at airshows a few times which would be in the top 3 was the Avro Vulcan. Nothing quite like that plane flying in low, almost silently then the pilot powering her up climbing almost vertically with the ground literally shaking under your feet and the noise.
