John-371706 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Good day everybody. This is my first posting on the forum, and is by way of a suggestion. Another manufacturer has just announced that they are to produce a model in 00 of the SR/Bulleid CO-CO electric locomotives numbers 20001 and 20002.These locos were famous for taking over the Newhaven Boat trains from the Brighton Billinton 4-4-2 steam engines. The catering vehicle is the train was almost always a vintage refurbished 12 wheel Brighton line Pullman car named 'Grosvenor'. Hornby at one time produced a range of these 12 wheelers in model form and I was just wondering, if they have not already done so, if it would be worth producing a model of 'Grosvenor' so that we modellers could model the Newhaven boat trains.Hornby could also perhaps, offer a Newhaven Boat train pack of their Maunsell or BR MK1 coaches with the correct Pullman using their excellent Class 71 E5XXX BO-BO electric loco as the motive power. The E5XXXs took over from the Bulleid locos in later years until the train was converted to EMU operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What About The Bee Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hi JohnThis belongs in the category of "Wishlists", as you wish Hornby would produce Grosvenor. There is a page dedicated to that, wherein Hornby has requested this type of information. BeeAlternatively, one of the mods might move this to the pinned thread in Wishlists.
