[New Hornby 'Steam' Generator]

I agree with both of you and if Hornby haven't designed the upgrade into unfitted models then, yes, sounds very difficult involving major works on a new model and blowing up the guarantee in the process. I was asking on the basis of the Sam's Trains LMS B5 review where he mentions the space where the atomiser would sit on the chassis but I didn't appreciate there would be a synch wheel needed. So I guess if this feature is a success there might be an LMS version in a year or 2, meanwhile I could get the P2 thus equipped and just run a guest train of LNER stock (but it's a lot of money!)

Hi, I would like the new Black 5 in LMS livery w. steam generator but the only model thus equipped in a BR version - does anyone know if Hornby plan to offer a retro-fit unit for fitting to models tooled for the generator?

And of course would this be feasible as at the least the smokebox door would need to be made removable.

Agreed, the sound quality has been appalling, does undermine the professionalism of the company. 

Lapel mics would be sensible!

Well I sincerely hope they do a test run of their audio & video this time as their previous release events have been terrible esp the Q&A session this year.
