Alessio Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'll be shocked if we see any FTPE stock in the 2015 announcements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayarpino Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 What makes you think the Adams is only going to be BR Ray or have I missed something.........again. Hello WTD, I didn't say there were going to be the only versions in the long run, but they are initally being announced in early and late BR versions.

Captain Mainwaring Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd be happy with any locomotive /SR Coach I can run in the period 1939-45. There, that's not too much to hope for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mainwaring Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd go for that Captain Mainwaring. R- (a.k.a "Pike") And I'd like to see Hornby do a Warflat too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Have Hornby ever done any Austerity engines? The WD 2-8-0/2-10-0 or Hunslet 0-6-0 in WD guise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mainwaring Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Can't answer that I'm afraid, but would just love to see a WD Loco and more WD wagons such as the tanker wagon of a couple of years back, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hornby have certainly never produced the big 2-8-0 or 2-10-0 WDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thought so, Graskie. They might be a good choice. If they did the 2-10-0 they could run it in conjunction with the Dame Vera Lynn appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sadly the 0415 Adams Radial was based too far west for it to be much use for me, unless a special edition as EKR No 5 was to appear (Hint, hint - Collectors Club special edition??). As to usefulness the 21 ton hoppers ARE! If these are being tooled to the same standard as they previous 'TOPE' ballast wagon I should be very pleased. The LMS Horse Box in interesting too! Now their wagons are starting to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now their wagons are starting to improve. If you wanted them to release the Radial as a Collectors Club special edition then you will be waiting at least 2 years from them annoucing it. I'm still waiting for the terriers announced 18 months ago that are now due for delivery in June 2015, and thats an existing model with tooling all ready to go so how long for a special run of radials?

preston Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 this is another fair and well thing from hornby however some of us are stll awaiting products from 2013! YES EVERYONE 2013. the BR class 56 'large arrow' well give it around 11 months when hornby put a post about deffered items being carried over from 2015 - 2016 and talking of 2016 maybe they will be making the 2013 eurostar which has been cancelled and never made my wish list: - to see hornby make a reasonable number of coaches to meet demand ( network rail & grand central MK3 springs to mind) - see some commuter liveries & electrostars/desiros - or one of the 3 airport express trains (heathrow express preferred) - a coupling which can be fitted to class 395 noses ( so i can make a 12 coach 395) - realiability - anything with network rail on the side (and make sure it has logos and not just painted yellow like the cl73) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VESPA Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I would like a Stirling 8' Single.It will fit in with layaouts up to the 1970's as used on enthusiast specials. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see "Rocket" and coaches again as the Caley 123 was popular when rereleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJR Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've been hankering after a Class 71 or 74 for ages. I signed up to the DJ Models version just a day before you anounced your intentions at Warley to release the same. I can't really see the logic in keeping things a secret because two companies could be researching the same model and eventually have to share the market (witness the Dapol and Bachmann 10000 / 10001 and the almost catastrophic Heljan / Bachmann Blue Pullman. If you were to announce your intentions earlier, the other company could put their efforts into something different. As it is, I am now comitted to the DJM model.

Alessio Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 AJR, the basic issue is that if all the companies collaborated on which models to produce so that there was never duplication, they could be accused of conspiring to fix the market... Simon Kohler covered it in his blog fairly recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've been hankering after a Class 71 or 74 for ages. I signed up to the DJ Models version just a day before you anounced your intentions at Warley to release the same. I can't really see the logic in keeping things a secret because two companies could be researching the same model and eventually have to share the market (witness the Dapol and Bachmann 10000 / 10001 and the almost catastrophic Heljan / Bachmann Blue Pullman. If you were to announce your intentions earlier, the other company could put their efforts into something different. As it is, I am now comitted to the DJM model.Sadly I am in the same boat, having put the 71 on my wishlist for many years and getting no response, as soon as DJM announced it I signed up to it. I am unlikely to buy two as I am primarily interested in the 1950s so this class requires a significant 'stretch' of my criteria to include it. The Adams Radial also fails to attract me (unless it is turned out as East Kent No 5) which again is stretching a point yet again as the Southern Railway bought it back long before 1950. I certainly will not be buying two.If the manufacturers MUST duplicate then let it be the common types (classes of 50 or more examples) and come to some understanding and openness about the tiny classes. There are many many excellent class types that are crying out to be modelled. The North Eastern Railway, the Caledonian, North British and Highland Railways, the Great Northern, the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the London and North Western all cry out to be adopted as themes for the future. The South Eastern and Chatham too with its gaudy and colourful liveries has already proved to be a commercial winner, and that with a humble 0-6-0, how much more could be achieved with a 4-4-0 of classes D or E, or the H 0-4-4T. I hear what is said about market fixing, but surely this only applies if it creates a monopoly or cartel, but by extending research to determine what is and isn't being considered for future production is surely a move AWAY from a cartel, offering the consumer MORE choice not less.

walkingthedog Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Duplicates are common in the diecast sector and everybody is happy as it gives you a choice. Nobody complains. I guess the same goes or at least used to go with Airfix/Frog/Revell and Dinkey/Corgi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It certainly applies in the plastic model aircraft sector. The world and his wife do Spitfies (but, oddly, no Seafire) ME109, Mustang, and P47 and no-one complains. It seems to be an accepted fact of life. By the way, knock Frog off your list, they packed in about 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
