Hartsocks Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 What would you like to see if Hornby were to make more Railroad train packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Exactly that! More railroad stuff! A total variety so all are catered for, good sugestion Hartsocks!JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartsocks Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thank you :). For me I haven't got much money so a lot of the loco's and rolling stock I look at is from the railroad range. The Railroad train packs are great value for money. I already have the GWR Train Pack and will be getting the 08 Shunter Pack as well. I think they should have another pack with a jinty.

The son of Triangman Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 More railroad stuff please. Tri-ang did a lot of nice 1950's and 60's wagons that could be used for the Railroad range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hartsocks, before you get the 08 shunter pack please have a think aout it. The loco is horrible, the railroad 08 is one loco i would never buy! Its not a model but a toy, put it next to a normal Hornby 08, or other make 08 and you will see! Look at how far apart the wheels are for a start!JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y9 Pug Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 A great idea. I recently got the GWR one and thought it was great value and loads of fun. I can see the appeal of these little packs, with an 0-4-0 or 0-6-0 and 3 wagons (or perhaps the 4-wheel coach). Admittedly I prefer to save up and get a train pack from the main range, but the Railroad ones are hard to say no to. Especially if they did, say, the J83 with 3 LNER wagons.

JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi, ive always been well happy with a railroad purchise i made a while ago, i got 2 packs of 3x TTA tankers, 11.99 each pack, ive said a bit ago on here what i did to them, if the below link works have a look! Theyve all come out brilliant!!!JLBAhttp://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/002hga.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartsocks Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wow they look amazing. Great job, you wouldn't think they were Railroad range. Perfect example of turning something cheap into something amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 You cant see them that much but the EWS wagons in the pics are also railroad! The 08 is not however! Im pretty sure though that the EWS wagons from the railroad range dont actualy exist in real life! Am i right!!JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartsocks Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah I think you are right haha. But hay, whatever floats peoples boat i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Cheers, just goes to show deosnt it! Some go to all sorts of extremes to make a layout and their trains realistic! My weathered EWS wagons do look well real, however, they dont exist in real life, so how can they look real!!! I think its called something like 'modelers license' or something!!!JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi JLBA, every time I look at you layout I'm always impressed by the way you've made it look really scruffy, just like the real thing, fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Do you have to get a Modeller's Licence from the Post Office, JLBA, or where else? I never buy RAILROAD items because I've got too much money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've got so much money it's embarrassing but I still by Railroad models. Oops, nearly tripped over my wallet. (I wish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks guys, thats good to know, im glad you are well off, especialy when some of us have to actualy think about money, in order to keep our family housed and fed. Model railways are a ruxury to me, hence, the last loco i bought was a present for J, about 2 years ago.JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wish we were PP. If I had loads of money I wouldn't boast about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBA Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Ive always thought this...if i ever came into money, then i would never shout about it, or rub it in to others. Alot of people who have money might as well live on the moon, as they are that out of touch with the real world, and with normal people, living in the real world! If they had a day with me, im sure, if they were human, then they would feel the need to do something, or if not, feel ashamed!JLBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sorry, folks, and I'm sure PP probably is as well. It's just a sad fact of life that a lot of people end up with more money than they really need in retirement, after a lifetime of struggling to bring up a family when younger with not enough. I was one of 12 kids in a council house years ago, so I'm speaking from experience. I often saw my mum cry because she had nothing left in her purse and we were hungry. Anyway, time moves on. I'm extremely grateful for my current situation, despite health problems, and would never want to rub things in, apart from body cream, that is. Just look forward to the future when, despite a so-called "double-dip recession," things will get even better.....again! I've seen it so many times before.
