I think the Hornby Gresley Teaks, Pullmans and Hattons' Warwell all have sprung buffers. Also the Rapido Dynamometer car? Not 100% sure, but the boss doesn't let me go home to check on that.
-
The J94 vs 66 argument was more from an non-UK view. But then I have no idea if Black 5's were used in mainland Europe.
-
I had the same feeling, and the opposit with Sam's Trains' video. About the J94. I think it's a very logical choice of Hornby, it's the class 66 of the steam era, a lot are preserved and in more than one European country. In fact, the only steam engine you can see running on a regular basis in Flanders is a J94. Maybe thé reason that Heljan choose it as well?
-
Sam's Trains also started a series about TT:120. Nothing special, baseboard etc, most interesting to me is that Hornby, for such a company, is still not able to combine orders, or even split single orders up. I heard this earlier on social media, people who ordered the whole Midland Pullman at once, and got it in several pieces. Including individual postage paid. Sam got his money back, I hope (but doubt) Hornby wil learn.
-
Well, I have seen both sets on social media all over Europe. Nice to see those next to other countries steam loco's.
-
I have a lot of models in pre-order, and I have bought some already, without seeing them.
-
About DPD, I use these now (since 'B') for everything coming out of the UK. Their website and tracking often give an error, on the Belgian or UK site, but the service is mostly first class. They are way faster too than the Royal Mail - Bpost combo. (And I work for the latter...)
-
If you modelled O or OO before, use the argument that these trains are smaller and cheaper! If you had N gauge till now, you can say, yes, they are a little bigger, but so I'll need less of them. Succes not guaranteed!
-
Is there any list available with soundfiles? I hope it won't be limited to Hornby only engines!
-
A series of small accessoires, like barrels, toolboxes, waste bins. Also some bas-relief houses, but these might be older, and more for Middle European layouts. I also saw that Arnold showed a new Rail Adventure diesel at Nürnberg, Vossloh 18. Do these come to the UK as well? Not so into D&E myself.
-
In the light of recent announcements by Modelbahnunion, I wonder if TT120 is growing in Western Europe as well. Houses here are getting smaller too, as some relative incomes. I think without Hornby going into TT,. it would be only a matter of time before a non-UK manufactor would try the water.
-
What has Hornby ever done for us? 😁
-
Looking for a model shop that still has the smoke and sound P2 available for pre-order. Anybody van recommend one, with online ordering if possible.
-
There are other greens? Surely, must be a mistake!
-
Both the sound as the non-sound ones are sold out on pre-order. If this proves a 'need', I don't know.
-
How much would have been for research, and making the different toolings for all the variations, upgrades and changes over a huge class? The DP1 didn't change a lot, and it's a single engine. Maybe a DP2 will follow? Or a what-if?
-
Well, just pre-ordered a second Sonic A5 instead instead of the Scotsman set. My possible TT-project is temporarly on hold. I'll wait for future releases to make up my mind.
-
Seems to me that the 'joke' is selling well.
-
Thank you for that! That's one 1319 sold! Looks very good to me!
-
Aren't these from Arnold?
-
Thanks Tom, I was asking because Hattons has a couple of R4174c for sale (secondhand) and it can be the lighting, but I wasn't convinced of the quality. The R1252 set teaks look very good to me, that's why I'm looking around to expand it. I was hoping to find R2888m somewhere, but no succes so far. Regards, Johan
-
Is there a complete list of 'bad' teaks, both Gresley 61'6" and Suburban? I'm looking a bit around to comlplete some rakes, but with the use of stock photo's it's not always clear.
-
Oh yes, put me down for a couple of Glens!! 😍
-
CR: Chiltern Railways Turbostar of course! 😁
-
I truly hope there's only one SK! Seems the right amount to me. Hat, coat, exit. 😋
