Don't bury TT:120 before it's dead. Both the train sets are sold out (again). Personally, I think that's the reason they made the bundles.

Good to know, I have some loco's waiting for just that. Thanks for testing, looking forward to your next YT-video

Isinglass has a Pigeon van, not sure about the diagram: https://www.isinglass-models.co.uk/3d-model-railway-shop#!/~/product/id=39943&prid=293&ctid=22&tp=pv I'm corrently building one, now waiting for some parts to arrive. Will indeed go great together when the Clark Quads arrive.

Interview with Hornby's New Product Designer, George, partly about HM7000. I fitted a HM7000 Next18 Sound decoder in my NER Electric Railcar. Fits perfectly, sounds funny.

Why? They're working on a fix, and the Android version is not even out.

Same here in Belgium, and also second hand only. First class service, VAT deducted, and very reasonable prices!

Tempting, but I'll start with two teaks and go from there. While not cheap, I think it's a very reasonable price. I don't think you can build this from a kit for this price. I planned on building them as a next project after my TPO and Pigeon van, now I'll have to look for other LNER stock. Plenty of choice!

According to Hornby's social media this afternoon, the two Blue 08's (with ladders?) are arriving soon. Whatever that means.

Good news, unfortunately nothing there for me. Not my region of interrest, but they do look nice. And the price is even better! But no, I don't need one. Wrong colour and railway company. So, anyway, I ordered Bluebell. Any great storytellers that could bring her to 1930's York? 😋

Yes, but please not all at ones. Just ordered a P-class and two warwells...

R60115 (12T fish vans) are numbered E87262/3/4 is just out. There are multiple MHA and different hopper triple sets, no idea about the numbers there.

I recently ordered two 3D-printed models from Isinglass Models, a pigeon van and a Dia 164 LNER TPO, to try out the water. They arrived very well packed, each in a nice bespoke box, with scale drawings and extra information. Apart from sides, ends, floor and roof you bogies (I forgot how it's called when the wheels are not in bogies, but you get these too with the pigeon van), torpedo vents, gangways, exchange gear (and netting!) where aplicable. I only needed decals, wheels, bearings, interior, glazing, buffers and hooks. And steam/vaccuum pipes, which I won't add because it would complicate running. The service too is top notch, fast and complete. No stakes, just a very happy customer. Highly recommended. The TPO is comming along nicely, will be great to have it run behind a LNER Pacific with a rake of Gresley teaks.

Sorry to hear that. Modelbahn Union has it still in stock if you're looking for one.

Are there also LNER versions? Or only BR era?

Thanks for that, I stand corrected. However, to my defense, in the pics the controller is still included.

Yes, and it's a bit strange that the upcoming TT120 TXS-fitted sets come with the cheap controller.

No sorry, but not iconic, Flying Scotsman is 8pin!

I meant 5 fysical version, one or two blastpipes, lifting cowl on the original, and with or without valances on the rebuilt. Of Total versions there are the three above and the fictive green one, of the rebuilt two Garther blues, a grey and one or two greens?

And how many versions of W1, about 5? For a single engine?

If I can help with testing a rake on R3 or R4, let me know and I'll see what can be done. The magnetic chain couplings came with a couple of extra magnets to make it a bit longer.

Ok, I surrender! Now I'll have to join!

Depends. If it's steampunk and such, yes. But none of the CC models are more than just a very simple fictive version of existing models, Railroad at that. So why not? They aren't the only one, and there are quite a few CC-collectors. If they would make totally new models, like SP, then I agree.

Yes, Coca-cola products really are their core business.

It's often, together with the Santa's express, the only pieces of Hornby you'll find in most (online) toy shops in mainland Europe. Maybe not so much fuzz online like TT and HM-DCC, that's true.

Very interresting, after the class 87 diesels, there are now the class 73 steam engines. Apart from that, looks promising indeed! Can't wait for mine to arrive, and the app to be released of course. Or I might borrow the wife's Iphone.
