walkingthedog Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Welcome to the forum. You'll have to email Hornby and ask them. They rarely look at the forum and then probably only the wishlust section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Interesting to see the original Triang Rocket and the 2020 model side by side. Something that hasn't been widely discussed was that the original had a smoke unit in the chimney but the new one doesn't smoke so the chimney can be modelled to scale. It does look extremely nice, and I am looking forward to receiving mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carltonf Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm interested that Hornby appear to have been measuring up an LMS Inspection Saloon, unless I'm mistaken. Obviously don't know when this was taken, but as Bachmann have one in their range, you'd have to assume it's not recent maybe? All of the other items in the photo montage made it to the 2020 range, so wonder why they've included that image? Or a mid-year announcement maybe....!

The 5-car APT pack has full yellow ends. The 7-car APT pack has the yellow end with the black window surround/mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterCity80s Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 All the NDMs will be powered. The 5-car APT pack has full yellow ends. The 7-car APT pack has the yellow end with the black window surround/mask. Oh, that's a bit disappointing from my perspective. I had hoped to get a matching pair (with the black window surrounds, as that's how I remember them from when I was a boy).I do still have my original 1980s Hornby set (with the black window surrounds) but I am guessing the new models will look much better, given the detail modern Hornby models have, and they obviously have the greater variety of coaches available.

Or a mid-year announcement maybe....!I suspect this was being done to capture LMS carriage design features to model the LMS Coronation stock rather than the Inspection carriage itself. So far as I know none of the original carriages survive so they will be working off official drawings and photoigraphs. Some of the details may need checking against the real thing.
