Tony57 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Just seen a youtube clip showing a new version of the Midland Blue Pullman, it appears to be a total revamp of a HST 8 Car set. painted in the first Blue Pullman Livery, it looked realy good As Hornby already makes most of the cars already it would only take a new paint job to bring in to reality.

Johnde Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It would be very tempting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Saw the video on YouTube the other day. Looks very smart, I would definitely be interested in buying a model if Hornby make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 It would make a very nice solo model and as stated the coaching stock is almost there to support it as a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drt7uk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Agree - love my Triang Blue Pullman and I'd definitely buy this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Stephen Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good idea. You then just need Bachman to produce a twin pack of the power cars from the original unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 No chaps, the 'new' Blue Pullman is a re-liveried HST (IC125) set with 75 foot Mark 3 carriages and class 43 power cars. The Bachmann power cars were based on the original Midland Pullman built by Metro Cammell to a completely different design. The trailers too were completely unlike the Mark 3. Hornby has all the right tools, and only need to apply a new livery to their existing HST power cars and Mark 3 trailers, another possible 'quick win'. The original 1960 6 car first class only Midland Pullman cannot even be used to represent the Western Region 8 coach sets which had a mix of first AND second class cars . The carriages were arranged differently, the two types shared only one design of carriage, a first class kitchen car. This train is particularly complicated.

Tony57 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Congratulation Hornby on producing such a great train, but did it have to be the top of the range HST power cars, there is no way I can afford £350 plus for two power cars plus the cost of individual coaches.Could you also produce a railroad standard set of power cars well in the Blue Pullman livery to make it more affordable to many please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_P Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The missing top light is too noticeable IMO and at the price being quoted for it Hornby ought to be making provision for it - it should not be that difficult to arrange for a hole to be drilled in the body shell and a light fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
