Dodge1965 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just seen the two new Intercity train sets on the website. One with and one without sound. Inside the box is 2x Locomotives, 2x Coaches. Maybe more to follow.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 That’s a great value set, track, PSU, two coaches for £10! Well worth waiting for Autumn for some on a tight budget. And the 125 coaches not due for a big anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth waiting for Autumn for some on a tight budget. And the 125 coaches not due for a big anyway. Totally agreed... I meant to add this to my post, but can't... This train set with sound features the following: a Class 43 HST power car numbered E43063, a Class 43 HST dummy car numbered E43062, two Mk3 TS coaches numbered E42064 and E42065, a transformer, a train controller, a buffer stop, a full curve, a power straight, a standard straight, a 3rd full curve, a left-hand point and a re-railer.

Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Bit…not big. The edit locked out in under 5 mins so extending to an hour is not working ; info for mods to feed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Interestingly this seems to replace the LNER East Coast Era 11 set which previously had the 1004 number in the catalogue (still online on their website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Maybe the LNER licence fee was not working with the ‘set’ price. Sets usually represent good value from Hornby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 I see they have been removed from the website. Maybe to adjust the price? Or just remove.. Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Lucky spot then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hold back until 02/04/24 probably, the coaches are different numbers to the ones listed individually, like they did with other sets. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the classic Blue/Yellow BR. Nice for those starting out. Wonder what a certain YouTuber will do now when they moaned about the TT 120 HST costing £600+ for a new starter... that video didn't date well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 So am I right in thinking the car numbers are the same as the ones on sale without coaches? That’s disappointing, I thought at least these would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) As listed the power cars have same numbers as the individual items but the 2 TSO MK3s have different running numbers but still Eastern Region prefix. Of course it could all change by the time it’s back up again. If price is correct when it’s officially released for pre order, it’s a great value set and for some, something to help ease the costs. The OO 125 sets were massive sellers for Hornby in 70’s and 80’s especially. Arriving in autumn in time for Christmas 2024, it will be another massive sales Bonaza for Hornby in TT:120. Just hope they can order enough! Edited March 19 by Rallymatt Gram Oar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 There were coaches and track etc in those sets ? If so they must have been incorrect prices, Peachy may have a bargain if its honoured 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Yes, they are full train sets. Remember Hornby often do a great value package in a trainset, and it was shown as a Web Exclusive. Easterner and Scotsman were similarly very keenly priced so it’s probably not a pricing error. Would be a great move by Hornby to continue The TT:120 World Domination Master Plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Allen Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Sometimes companies sell starter packs at cost or near cost to get you hooked. They’ll then make their money later with all the extras you buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazC Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 When I looked at the sets before they disappeared under the "What’s in side" tab it just said 2 locos and 2 coaches, no mention of track and power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Now, If some clever person can come up with a way to run one decoder only, and still have directional lights for DCC .... Stop it ... I must resist this slippery slope and stick to steam 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Hornby Username Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Good catch! Honestly, this will probably sell better than the LNER version. This is a smart move as far as I'm concerned. Assuming the running numbers are correct, these should be the same coaches that are being sold separately. They correspond to TT4023A and TT4023B. The listed running numbers in the item description has been changed in the final sample. You can see they share the same running numbers (E 42064 and E 42065) if you click on the picture and look carefully at the running number. So no exclusive coaches with this set, which isn't really a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be clarified when they go on sale properly but usually a trainset includes track and controller of some sort. Just locos and coaches would normally be described as a Train Pack. It will be clear soon enough though 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuLarge Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I have been on the fence about ordering the (sound fitted) Blue Grey HST (for the domestic that will follow) but at that price for the set it's probably worth it.

Rallymatt Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Plus you have time to prepare as the set is due to be available in Autumn. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The two Easterner sets are now showing as “pre-order” on the Hornby website, though no date is given. While this is not unexpected, given other retailers were already taking pre-orders, it removes any doubt that these two sets will remain in the range. Not surprising in many respects as they are great value - about £30 more than the locomotive on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
