9402 Fredrick

From what everyone has said, 78000 will be unlined green, a first for Hornby on any of their mixed traffic locos that were lined br green, and 78047 is gonna be lined br black with late crests.

No, only the BR Black one is, the 3 green ones are pushed back, 4160 included.

January 2020 issue talks about all of the variants in the planned release, very excited.

All four LMS 20T Brake Vans just got released this morning, as evidant by the fact I just got hit with having $61.58 USD being removed from my account for R6907 really early this morning.

Hornby's website have the livery samples for each princess on the pages for the respective models.

Just put in a deposit for 9400, can't wait to compare it to the main range GWR 9402 when this and the main range 94XXs come out.

I do also think Hornby's Stanier 5MT needs an update as well, plus that way we can also get the Stephonson Valve Gear and Caprotti Valve Gear variants as rn they only have one variant available in the tooling.

If so, then I'm hoping it'll be about two weeks before that one hits Hornby directly, and that the shed code has been added as I remember the earlier deco samples for the two BR verisons a few engine sheds ago being without a shed code on the smokeboxes, also hoping to see a Shirtbutton, BR Lined Green EE, BR Unlined Green LC, and BR Lined Black EE variant of these locos somewhere down the line in the years to come, and some of them being of the earlier 5101s, I am glad to finally have one of the GWR's most iconic mid-sized tank engines being updated, will see at least one in operation on my layout, once completed.

You mean R3723/R3723X right?

Hey, was anyone who went to Warley able to get info on if R3719 was gonna be on the current boat to the UK or are the models gonna arrive a bit later?

The changes showed up for me, even on my order, which only had the running number changed.

I assume you mean the GER Wartime Grey one.

Kinda sad that I can't join the collector's club due to me living in the states, would've enjoyed having that 7th variant.

It also looks like, from the pictures, that there was a 7th variant there on display. Wonder what that's about.

Hopefully info will be up soon as I really would like to have those locos on my eventual 009 layout, anyone have luck snagging a pic of the image?

Any deco samples of the three main retail release 94XXs at the Bachmann stand?

No worries, I know where my first two paychecks for the month are probably going tbh.

It seems I can't place a pre-order for one as it keeps saying out of stock.

No worries, also if Hornby is doing the 78xx, we'll still have it sooner than Bachmann tbh.

Two things 1, it's the Princess Royal Class not the Coronation/Duchess Class that were announced with the Large Prairies and Terriers this year 2, Hornby could pull off a better 78xx/Manor as their Grange Class has really well done GWR Stephenson valve gear compared to Bachmann's rendition, plus they have the correct tender type for them too, plus better modelled coaching stock for them.

Well, I may re-do my pre-order, but this time, pay the full price via paypal checkout, for a sound fitted version no less.

When should we expect to see livery samples of these?

I saw it when I checked the email, probably not too much longer now, can't wait to see a livery sample.

Actually Cornwall hasn't been done in R-T-R 00 Gauge either, only the G2A and Coal Tank out of all preserved LNWR loco classes have been made.

Hopefully I can have rails let me pay for each one within each week or two weeks so I can afford them as my job is cutting my hours.
