Under normal circumstances, I would have suggested your local Toy and train Fairs, but CV19 has put paid to that. Instead, you may wish to contact Laurence Moger or check out his web site below. https://tri-angman.co.uk/shop/ Good Luck Bill

Looks like your wish came true Phillip. I too have been in search of a accurate and well detailed working model of this famous loco. Even considered buying the O gauge kit, but thankfully, Hornby have come to the rescue and it appears to have been a total success. I just managed to secure one of the limited edition sets. Well done Hornby. Not wanting to break any Forum rules, but already someone has jumped on the train of opportunity to commission the 3rd class carriage that will go with this wonderful set. I have placed my order for two.

A Caprotti Black 5 would be right up my street. High or low runnig boards wouldn't be a problem. Any variant would be a great addition to my Hornby range. They already have the tender and chassis, so it would be just a case of modifying the existing loco body. New tooling would be preferable, as I still wish for Hornby to continue variants of the current LMS/BR Black 5s.

Having viewed Hornbys 2020 Review on Youtube, they announce towards the end, that both the Hornby Magazine and 2020 can be purchased for a combined price of £10 from either Tescos or WH Smith. Neither Tescos or WH Smith are aware of this arrangemtn when I approched them yesterday. Can anyone from HGornby shed some light on this Bill
