Moccasin Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Less than a day away from speculation turning into debate on the merit of Hornby’s decisions! The announcement is thankfully too early for any associated drinking games (!) but maybe there’s a possibility of TT120 bingo … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-L Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Looking forward seeing what is announced/confirmed. Hoping for pre-orders and dates for the Class 37 and the GWR Tank engine. Also hoping for blue and grey MK1s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishmail Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Additions to the MK1 range would be welcome, especially SK, SO, BSO, RB's or RMB's & BG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_watts1 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 They'll never drop the Gresley Teaks (unless they want to lose alot of support), I'm actually surprised we have got them already since we have locos to pull them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a welcome addition but realistically I don't think this year given the other goodies that we know are in the pipeline. I would love to be proven wrong though 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishmail Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Would anyone know if there will be an updated PDF and/or printed catalogue? I have seen various comments over various forums of one with hornby magazine, but as I don't get that ( Preferring RM) wondered if a printed one would be available.

Rallymatt Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Printed catalogues should not be underestimated in this hobby. They are the inspiration and reference that keeps the modeller on the hook! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know for sure, but when TT first launched there was a commitment that the PDF copy of the catalogue would be available for free in perpetuity. It was actually listed as one of the advantages of choosing TT. So far, they’ve kept that commitment and we’re on the catalogue’s 4th iteration. It’s no guarantee, but I strongly suspect we will get a new one tomorrow. Edited April 1 by Generic Hornby Username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something about a thing (supplement/catalogue etc) coming with the next Hornby Magazine, which should be due on the 4th. 🤞🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Well, we will soon see what hard work from behind the scenes can be shared. Overnight success is always lots of days and nights of hard slog no one notices until it becomes the headline news 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was told by Martyn Weaver at Hornby at Model Rail Scotland. In fact he implied that the choice of 2nd April was linked to publication date for the magazine and could not be moved. Possibly that means the magazine includes details within its main body and magazine distribution means that it could be in shops on the Wednesday, so could not go back any further. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of Scotsman sets in stock - especially the DC version which has over 1000 sets available so if it where dropped we would not know about it for sometime. Of course that could have been their intention - discontinue it but with sufficient stock that there is variety for anyone wanting a train set.

They seem to have shifted several thousand of them over the past 18 months. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
