These look right up my street. Hopefully it will be decided to keep goong with this. I for one would be very interested.

Well the wait and the excitement were well rewarded. What a beautiful model and can sit listening to it on tickover all day! Combination of easy set up on Bluetooth then seamless transfer to the prodigy WiFi set up I use on my layouts was so easy. Feel a second one for renumbering is now required!

Same here, email showing new arrivals but sadly quiet on shipping news. Fingers crossed for news tomorrow. Can't remember the last time I was this excited for a new loco and stock.

Think the tt version looks great and cant wait to receive mine, but the side by side shows a thing that I notice often on hornby diesels, the exhaust openings are shallow and roof colour. but the n gauge model has a better representation.

Thanks!

Thanks, I was quite pleased with the 08s final look. I don't aim to be 100% precise but more capture the bits and feel that I remember from that time. Finish comes with practice. Lots of cheap kits or auction stuff to have a go on. I only use a cheap airbrush but as long as its cleaned well and quality paint is used all seems OK.

For me it would have to be 25 and 45 top of the list with 40 & 46 next. Happy with any first-generation DMUs. Mk1s in Blue/grey and definitely more parcels and mail, maybe a CCT or GUV in plain blue. Others have mentioned the Woodhead electrics which is an interesting idea too.

Some interesting detail in all the above, thanks. One can live in hope. In the meantime I am content trying a few amateur repaints to something near suitable. Here's my go at making the 50' brake look like it belongs in the 70s. Next stop, a DB 08 back to BR blue as I missed the original and can't find one anywhere. I have the 'victim' on the bench ready to go...

Consisting is something I am very familiar with (many years of North American N gauge multi loco sets consisting 5 or 6 locos) but the HST persistantly failed to respond on both units in consist, either ignoring lighting changes or sound on 1 only. Both would work perfectly individually but not in consist on DCC. Suddenly and not sure why, it decided to work after one of about a dozen resets! My point was not about the speed or range of releases but rather an integrated plan on compatability of future liveries with what has gone before. I will quickly get tired of looking at desirable locos only available in liveries much later than that of the stock purchased so far. In nearly every detail I think Hornby have nailed it with TT120, just want it to remain appealing.

Hi, new to this forum so please excuse me if this is old ground. I have started to dabble in TT120 having been everywhere from N to O and via all the various NG branches (sorry!) and must say I am mostly impressed. The option of era 7 scale length passenger trains (that I can actually still see the detail at my age) in B/G was too much to resist. The full set of HST power cars and MK3s was duly put together. My dissapointment is really limited to 2 points. The set-up of the sound and consisting of both power cars has been trying to say the least but impressive now working but more concerning is the lack of visible commitment to sustaining the era liveries already started. It appears the planned 37 for instance is not die to be released in era 7 to matchbthe HST and 50. Hopefully the 47 will be (and in both standard and LL). I feel if the scale is to thrive, suitable variety of matching liveries should be the aim to begin with. I will soon bore of just an HST for example and will the MK 1s be available in B/G when the 31 arrives to allow typical commuter rakes? While not averse to doing an odd repaint (LMS Full Brake now in blue 1970s parcel fleet) or a quick renumber, I just feel that before committing wholesale to TT120, a sufficient planned variety in matching period livery should be visible.
