The LNER J15 0-6-0 is one of the best Hornby locos, and I believe sells well. I have 5 in various LNER and BR paint schemes. I assume Hornby know that the E4 2-4-0 was a close sister, using the same boiler, cab and tender, so they already have most of the parts needed to make the E4. Introduced in 1891 as a mixed traffic loco, it became the staple for East Anglian for branch lines, 100 were built, they last in BR service until 1959, and one is preserved. May I suggest thet the E4 would be a perfect loco for Hornby to issue. All Hornby need to do is make a 2-4-0 chassis and mate it to the rest of the J15 parts already in manufacture. BTW, for variety, in 1935/6 the LNER modifed six with all-weather cabs to work on the NER line over Stainmore Summit, where they were very successful.
