Very impressive, and I look forward to developments.

Fat Lieutenant replied to Graham_Muz's topic in Hornby

Great news that there will be a release in pre-Grouping livery, and one that can be used to represent the pre-Grouping period, and not just the Bluebell preservation scene. As a newcomer to the hobby (and another of those who did not live through the 50s or 60s), it is really very striking how the main manufacturers have become so focussed on late steam-age production, so it's good to see a return to Edwardian Elegance at least with this release. I will certainly buy one in fully lined SECR green. A great development.

Fat Lieutenant replied to Edwardian's topic in Pre-Grouping - Modelling & Prototype

I have very much enjoyed being lost in this wonderful topic. Edwardian, I admire what you have set out to do, and your modelling so far. It has been a delight to wander these meandering Edwardian byways in the company of such erudite and sociable topic contributors. There is much inspiration in these pages - how I long for an Edwardian layout myself!
