Woolamala Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hi everyone. This might have been asked before however, I can't find anything in the forum. With the new releases this year of different stages of the Flying Scotsman what are the locos limited edition limited to? Is it 500, 1000 or more? Anyone know? T.I.A. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Probably Simon will find it still makes so much money for them - and well done - he'll triple the requirement to 2,000 or more!!I'm certain FS will be popular, and particularly once all of the hype kicks in.Al.

ColinB Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I am not so sure, the purple West Country only took off because sadly she died. They are incredibly expensive and virtually anyone that models has at least one already. I suppose they might appeal to collectors. I will stick to the HD A4s they are a lot cheaper.

Deem Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I do like the FS, I do have most version, from railroad to limited edition, but at the price Hornby is taking pre order, it may be fair price, but its out of my budget. I would have happily bought FS with double tender if it was under 300, but at 379, I can't see myself buying.Maybe in future if my circumstances changed I might be able. As for how many Hornby will be making, like atom3624 stated, if the orders are keep on coming production number will go up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The collection is still scheduled for Spring release so I doubt whether there will be any changes to production quantities at this late stage - the locos may even already be on the water as February is the Centenary month of the construction of the un-named loco (as per R30206) that became 'Flying Scotsman' a year later.

Kettering Junction Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 What do people think will be the most popular Dublo version? I’ve gone for the BR model as it’s how I’ve always known it and it appears this one is no longer available for pre sale. First time I saw FS was as a kid in Paignton in 1994.
