A Revived Hornby Freight Master train set in TT:120 gauge would also be a high seller with the incoming BR Class 37 in either BR Green original ERA 6 (British Rail Pre-TOPS) 1957-1971 or in a early BR Blue 1960s livery from the ERA just mentioned. Or the very early or mid part of ERA 7 (British Rail TOPS) 1971-1986 with a rake of wagons;
BR Vent Van
TTA Tank wagon Esso
12T Tank wagon,
21T Mineral Wagon
HAA Hopper wagon
BR, Dia.064 ‘Toad E’ Brake Van

How about a fully retooled pug? I expect a strong seller if made to the standards of Hornby recent small tank engines
Yes a new tooled Pug would be fantastic with a fully detailed boiler's backhead and footplate!

Thinking of upcoming rail anniversaries... Perhaps a commemorative 14 November 1994 the first Eurostar train service? 30th Anniversary set/train pack? in retro Hornby Railways packaging? Probably not? oh I don't know! Who knows? Not too long to wait now the suspense isn't killing me! I quite like the wondering and not knowing what it could be! 🤔 😃

Am I correct in thinking that at the time of the January announcement there was an implication of another one coming mid year?
Could this be apart of a phased movement to quarterly announcements- Jan/Summer for OO and Spring/Autumn for TT?
Just a thought

Hi Les, Mike did say on the April 2 2024 TT:120 launch video to " continue keeping our eyes peeled (or whatever it was that was said? Something along those lines) as you'll never know when the next announcement/announcements will be." I'm sure that whatever the June 19 2024 announcement will be unveiled, we'll all probably be around 99.9% wrong as to what the announcement will be guesses wish listing etc!
Hopefully it'll be incredible but whatever it'll be, it still will be exciting and interesting! As I am still amazed at the seating cushion cover detailing on the recent decorated sample of the LNER Coronation Observation car! at a quick glance it looked like gold nuggets but when I focused on it more clearly the Instant upholstery patterns on the fabric was visable and outstanding!

Very interesting to hear from Martyn! Thank you for this interview! when the TT:120 range was intitally annouced Andy was provided with erroneous information regarding a BR Blue Inter-City 125 HST as a full train set. When I commented in this very froum that it would be a fantastic product!
So fourms possibly can partly influence manufactures of what the customers want!
And miraculously it's actually happend! Although the catalogue number for it was originally intended to be a CrossCountry XC HST train set. It did however keep on with the Eastern Region theme as it's going to be an Eastern Region BR Blue Class 43 HST Inter-City 125! Train set with two power cars and two TOS MK3 coaches.
What's also fascinating is that Martyn explained that the RailRoad range will be extended further! I hope that this will mean that long absences of over ten years of Hornby models being eventually reintroduced as the RailRoad range.
I also hope that there will be new products/new tooling/ newtoolings announcement soon. As we are nearly in June! But I don't mind waiting until the end of the year or whenever Hornby decide to announce anything new!

I would say that the HST/125 is the diesel equivalent of Flying Scotsmam or Mallard.
Agreed although I'm just surpised it's taken Hornby forty-one years to re-produce the Inter-City 125 in it's Original livery and appearance as a full train set again of any gauge!

Wow! Very little about Phase 3 - just the Class 37 I think.
Phase 3 and 4 over the next 3 or 4 years as mentioned above. New stuff will get interspersed with that.
Duchess and Class 50s next month - analogue versions will arrive slightly before the TXS-fitted ones. Class 66 "on track for November", which we knew already.
A new catalogue will be available with the next Hornby magazine or available to download towards the end of the month(?).
I think that was about it - did I miss anything...?
It's interesting as in the last hour Hornby have updated the TT:120 section at the bottom of the page where all the click buttons to pages are. The brochures and guides has been updated to a HST cover. While the train sets features the new Inter-City 125 train set. So I should imagine the April Spring 2024 issue and an updated phase 2 catalogue should be available soon.

I love the new signals and level crossing! I love the J50s and the TOUAX, Sffgmss IFA wagons! and the BP/Shell, 12T Tank Wagon looks amazing! the Inter-City 125 High Speed Train Set welcome back to range as a Hornby train set! (even though it was OO gauge) since 1983! I am as of yet to watch the videos on YouTube etc.
please where was the information or CADs etc of the Class 37s I didn't see anything?

Yeah, the hypothesis floating around is that it's going to be revealed on April 2nd. Those updating the website just accidentally launch the page before the event. It's set for an Autumn release.
Thank you. I'm glad I didn't see it actually!
Although I can't wait to see the artwork of the product box packaging design!
I also wonder if the "Mainline Express era 7 train set" will also be in phase two? It appears that Andy was correct after all back in October 2022, about there being a BR HST train set!

Not any more it isnt!
Gutted to gave missed this! An accidental leak? If anyone is interested, It's also the first time Hornby will have produced an original BR Blue Class 43 HST as a train set since 1983! And the first time since a British Rail Class 43 HST train set was released since May 1996 (the limited edition 20th anniversary set with additional MK3 buffet car) and the standard uncatalogued InterCity 125 set 1996 -1997.

No catalogue number yet but looking back at the catalogue. I wonder if the "Mainline Express" Electric train set Era 7 (British Rail TOPS) 1971-1986 will be announced?
I've always wondered what locomotive and rolling stock that'll be included? A Class 37, Class 47 (only if these are annouced when the train set will be announced) or a Class 50. Or maybe even a new tool different class diesel/electric locomotive? I reckon with a rake of BR MK1s? or BR MK2E or BR MK2F coaches.

Well how about diesel starter train sets? Not everyone wants an A3 or A4. Or have I missed something? Anyway, that coupled by being shafted by the Australian wholesaler importer meaning I couldn’t buy anything direct from Hornby pricing it out of any sensible person down here’s budget. At least moving it out to retailers helped but it means still there is no benefit from being in the TT120 club as that only benefits if you can buy from Hornby.
So if a diesel set is announced, then I might get drawn in, as I was going to be initially……
When phase one was annouced there was erroneous information of a BR HST train set.
There is however a forthcoming future CrossCountry XC HST Train set in either phase two or three. (Neither was specified as to which phase).

There are some Railway essentials line side accessories currently missing from the Hornby TT:120 range which I'd love to see introduced in phase 2 or onwards. Railway semaphore signals, home signal, home distant, junction distant junction home, single level crossing and a double level crossing with gates and modern barriers and trackside accessories with huts, telegraph poles, water crane, loading gauge, whistle sign and mile and gradient posts.

And one of the ajoining videos shows that even battle space range would not give kids this much fun:
I prefer the original live action models of Britt Allcrofts 1984 television adaptation for ITV! (I have the DVD releases) Even the 2000s CGI is an improvement the locomotives rolling stock etc look nothing like the originals unfortunately! I don't know why HIT Entertainment changed this! It looks more like Thomas and Friends meets Chuggington! The new 2020s television adaptation "Thomas and Friends All Engines Go", yes please go back to live action models! Also next year is the eightieth anniversary of "The Railway Series" of books (I have the 70th edition boxset of original mini books it's absolutely beautiful!) by Rev W Awdry 80th birthday in 2025. That should be interesting! I was disappointed that Hornby discontinued Thomas and Friends. Thankfully I did get the final run of models from 2015 and 2016 Thomas, (and the 70th matalic edition one) Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, troublesome trucks, Annie, Clarabel wagons pack 1 and 2 James coaches Gordon's coaches, Old Slow Coach etc.

Virgin XC did indeed hire in GNER HST sets for Summer Saturday workings to and from Newquay. The first picture shows one set at Newquay in August 2004 with Chris Gibb, the XC MD on the left with the driver entering the power car at the country end. Newquay was usually heaving when the train arrived for an early morning departure with a lot of youngsters sleeping on the station concourse.
The second shows the same set on the same day at Newton Abbot where we left it to pick up another train for Paignton.
A blow up of my original transparency shows that the power car is 'Scone Palace'
A useful addition to any post-privatisation layout located west of Bristol!!
Ny home town of Newton Abbot! One of the Railway towns in England! Amazing photos of GNER HSTs!

Wow I am impressed about this Locomotion No. 1 incredible! I am extremely very happy about this!
Tiger on its own very nice!
Nice to see the L&M Railway rolling stock will now be available separately!
L&MR Royal Mail Coach
L&MR 2nd Class Coach
R40437 L&BR, No. 2 'Queen Adelaide's Saloon' - Era 1 I said these will probably be available separate back in 2023! Ill get the last two as I already have the Royal Mail coach!
New new liveries I do like the GNER HST set with the MK3s
Nice to see the Thompson Class L 1s back!
RailRoad GWR, Class 1000 I guessed correctly!
RailRoad Plus GWR, Parcels Car I guessed correctly!
the rest again all nice new liveries. I do like the GWR, Loriot Y Machinery Truck with Load No. 2.!
Edit: I have just heard the absolutely dreadful devastating news about Hatton's I want to say a huge thank to them. Most of my model railway including rolling stocks scenery and accessories! came from them! All of their staff and customer service has always been exceptional! I am very sad to see a beloved British retailer announce their closure I am very sorry to hear the loss of staff as well. what an absolutely awful start to this year! Gutted! 💔

The 110 DMU from around 1982 has just had the update to the latest DCC friendly motor bogie without much being done to the chassis frame. With a similar modification the Margate class 25, 29, 35, 52 and 86 could be brought back as Railroad as long as the tooling is available. The 37 and 47 are now modified Lima, but the Lima 52 tooling has not been used since manufacture switched to China.
Thanks. Yes I did mention a few years I'd love to see the Class' 25 last produced in 2001, 29 last produced in 2000, 35 Hymek last produced in 2004?, 52 (Western) last produced in 2005, 58 last produced in 2006? 86 last produced in 2005, etc updated back into the RailRoad range.

Hornby can release anything no matter what it is I am always impressed about it all! As I'm always guaranteed to be amazed the LNER Coronation coaches for example blew me away! So whatever new tool any steam any era priod etc, or of any diesel/electric locomotive from any era I'll be flabbergasted! All this aside I'd really love to see returns of long absences of any loco, DMU, EMU, rolling stock etc, including RailRoad, of anything with ten years or more back in the range! Furthermore what I really want to see is, a new tooled AC Electric BR Class 81 as a Hornby Dublo model or in the main range only if it is extremely super detailed with everything 100% authentic and accurate in terms of the detailing. With nothing missed out on it! It'll have to be the best ever produced with no faults or any missing details.

I know there is a planned Cross Country XC HST train set to arrive in a future phase. But there was erroneous information when phase 1 was launched and now I want to see it actually being a train set! a Hornby TT:120 BR HST Train set. Two BR Class 43 power cars in original BR Blue Yellow livery with 2 x BR MK3 coaches. 1x Transformer, 1x Controller, 1x Rerailer, 1x 3rd Radius Starter Oval with Track Pack 1.

I'm not fussed over any new tooling for D&E items, but wouldn't it be lovely to see them slopping on some classic liveries seen in the late 90s onto the warmed-over HSTs and new Mk3s - the likes of Virgin, Great Western 'Merlin' and the elegant GNER - mmm!
The new management regime sounds like a great opportunity to break with the past - I hope they remember that us kids who grew up in those much-derided early rail privatisation days, now have the income and spending power to cross their palms with a lot of silver should the right product be available!
Yes more late 1990s early 2000s Post Privatisation eras franchises of HSTs Great Western 'Merlin with the INTERCITY Swallow typeface on the Great Western Merlin on the MK3s!

I have just received the annual new years range email. Asking us what we want/are hoping to see in the range.
New announcement 19 June 12.30pm
in Hornby
Posted
2025 other railway related anniversaries. It is highly unlikely that Hornby will do anything to mark The 80th anniversary of Thomas the Tank Engine 80 years of the "The Railway Series" in 2025, and 40th Anniversary of the television series adaptation of "Thomas and Friends" considering they don't have the licence with HIT Entertainment/Britt Allcroft.
Also without turning this in to a wish list there were many steam/ diesel electric locomotives DMUs EMUs etc introduced and special anniversaries in the years of 1945, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 So there is so much that could and possibly will be inevitable done in 2025! I'm sure there will be many amazing things to come next year!
