  1. Both Golden Eagle & Sparrow Hawk have single chimney ,did they ever have a double chimney like Mallard.
  2. Sparrow Hawk with two family members Golden Eagle and Sir Nigel Gresley.
  3. I think it is more like Gresley itis .
  4. Thank you to Ian Hargrave & MGR Hooper!
  5. Gresley A4 Sparrow Hawk is the latest addition to my A4 collection. Sparrow is go running trials in the next few days on the Severn Crescent Railway. Sparrow Hawk joins Golden Eagle, Peregrine, Sir Nigel Gresley, Bittern, Mallard LNER Blue & B R Green.
  6. Would it be better if Hornby did not give a fixed date and just say along the lines of XYZ COMING SOON to a shop near you. It is the fixed date that lets Hornby down when not the fault of Hornby.
  7. Just been looking to see if there is a video on YouTube showing TTS Decoder being fitted.
  8. I take it Hornby 2018 announcement should arrive by midle of 2020.
  9. Thank you for the offer Jub45565 i have sent you a PM.
  10. ............................................................. Thank you for the information ,i intend buying this locomotive again to rename it 60048 Doncaster . If i can get a set of smoke deflectors i might fit them to one of them.
  11. My fingers must have started stuttering ,i have been watching Arkwright lol.
  12. Gresley A3 Minoru 60062 arrived on 25th December as originaly to be renamed & numbered. Am i right in thinking that A3s with single chimney did not run with or need smoke deflectors .
  13. ............................................................................. Nice photos .
  14. I suppose it's like the A4 in LNER Apple Green, people asked for them for years since the newer tooling came about. But factions within Hornby thought they wouldn't sell so it never happened. ................................................................................................................................... I think that somes up Hornby and why they are in the mess they are in now.
  15. ......................................................................................................... Flying Scotsman looks great in the Blue.
  16. Did Hornby ever produce Flying Scotsman in B R Blue at any time . I think they should for us kids around 50 something .
  17. Also 8th January is the KINGS birthday.
  18. ..............................................................................................The thing is they want more than a bowl of rice a day for wages now. China sucked everyone in with a low price of producing items and it will cost the likes of Hornby a small fortune to withdraw from China.
  19. In an ideal world i would have gauge ONE in the garden to run in summertime,but my garden is not big anothe nor is my wallet .
