Think the railroad HSTs are Lima tooling. Also I think there's a much bigger market for older HST liveries so not sure why they're doing this. Particularity if anyone that really cares about this livery will be saying "where's the buffers"

The 21pin models aren’t great in my opinion, the motorised fans are woeful and there are no more opening doors, the only good feature in the Kinamatic nem coupling under the rear of the body, the 8pin is better value for money.

Definitely a bigger market for older HST liveries. Still waiting for them to release the FGW "all blue barbie" livery in the newer tooling

Steam generator in the hush hush is a good move, hopefully it will have a firebox glow feature to go with it, no new crane to replace the ones in the range that are 40 plus years old, no Network Rail wagons or coaches, I’m sure many modellers will find some good things in this announcement.

Despite the buffers issue, I think the HST will sell well.

The Grand Central HST looks good - an attractive and not-too-garish livery! I'm afraid the only new Hornby release I'm looking forward to is the Stockton & Darlington Locomotion, which I hope will be accompanied by some suitable wagons...hint, hint...

So new livery on HST but wrong molding should have buffers fitted to both locomotive so not a great start to the programme on 24th coaches look like old Lima MK3 tooling too Come on Hornby you can do better than that Oh and typo on number of 43 you state it as 43385.

However, they’ve learnt a few lessons from their January announcements video, for which welcome thanks are due: dropped the all-red background; abandoned slugging water; props pre-prepared on the table; and typed scripts at hand for reference. I already have a Hornby GC HST set from the previous release and am not interested in the other 3 items. Good to hear more progress for TXS profiles though.

What was the point of 08 and j52 when and if it comes out in tt 120 with 6 pin decoder board , and hornby not moving any closer to bring the hm7000 6pin out, with or without sound, just get it on the market, so people can use their 08’s

I miss Hornby Play Trains 😭I love it

Unfortunately absolutely nothing in this announcement for me.

Hi There my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including the refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine Leyland 680 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train Fans Pretty Please?

Also the original poster is a tad late as apart from the 507 and 508, they have all been scrapped.

The black five coming out at the end of the year this means my order I’m waiting for will be over 3 years so will the hush hush be 3 to 4 years before you receive the product???

Nice to hear about the Hush-Hush, hope there aren't problems with it like there was before!!! 🤔🚂🚂🚂

I really want a class 333

What was this filmed with ? A box brownie ? a shoebox with a pin hole?

nice to see more DRAX wagons but why the same again? Why not the old swoosh livery but with the updated addition of small logod and images?

I would love the 50 in TT120 but only with a 6-pin HM7000 decoder with sound !

Gave up watching it due to the poor sound quality - can't cope with all that crackling and banging constantly through the video 😡

@beachsidetech

9 күн бұрын

I have no idea why they can never sort this out after so many videos with sound issues. Basic testing would sort out the issues but it seems never done. Such a pity for the videos watchability. You don’t need big budgets to do testing.

I think they should also do the GWR mk3 coaches to fit their existing Railroad GWR HST which has no coaches available…

Do they DO COAL wagon,s with Hilton main colliery on them?

Given the RRP for the Hush-Hush as DCC ready is £254.99, a RRP for it with sound and smoke of £294.99 seesm great value for these add-ons. I'm certainly considering it. However. A GC HST without buffers? We've only had 1 GC release before, as the pre-refurbishment version with the Valenta-powered 43/0s and no orange stripe. We need a version of the post-refurbishment MTU-powered 43/4s (as per the RailAdventure set, minus the top light) with orange stripe. All 6 of GC's power cars had buffers, and were /4s with the orange stripe for most of their GC life, before going to EMT/EMR and now with RailAdventure and having the top light. Why couldn't you release a HST in another livery, more accurate to the railroad tooling? Like InterCity Executive, MML Teal, FGW Merlin, GNER without red doors, or even the NMT? Also of note is that GC ran as 2+6 in their later days of HST operation, so people would need 2 FOs to model that. Does this HM-DCC update include consists? My TT:120 is going to an exhibition next month, and I'd appreciate if I could control the 2 HST power cars in one go...

Well, if you don't like Hornby products there's plenty of other choice. Given they've been in operation for 70 years they must be getting something right. My scale of choice, TT120 is great and demand is outstanding supply.

Wish there was a railroad a3 scotsman or a stepney or Fenchurch terriers that you made so sad ):

The only good thing was class 43 but see it in railroad family got disappointed about it. It has been 14 years since we got a well detail version of it. Good people don't have a lot of money and kids. But there should be One from railroad family plus news tools version. To give people a choice. Should done one in TT scale got me into it. Wagon god person like Morden things. Being nice if Hornby could do so steam train want are pre 1923 or SR to 1952. As in two.

Was this even worth waiting for? Another 10000 Hush Hush just with a Steam Generator and a RAILROAD Grand Central HST that doesn't even have any front buffers... Really guys? 43 minutes of absolutely wasting people's times just to announce three new things for the 00 range... and the rest to just be complete waffle that really should have had it's own dedicated video instead. One thing I will grant you though, a new batch of Drax Biomass wagons is very much appreciated, hopefully this time you won't limit it to Tier 1 retailers like you did last time which just meant that the vast majority scalpers got a hold of it and shot the price up from the original RRP...

I suspect no moreso than hobbies generally. Do you recall 1968? The big question in our hobby was whether there'd still be a market for steam outline. Turns out there was back then, but only due to the question being asked a half century early!! Were I Hornby (or any other manufacturer beyond a bespoke 'cottage industry'), I'd be looking to detailed market research with a microscope. For millenials, the future looks pretty bleak as far as any spare money for hobbies goes, so it'll be doubly important to learn what the coming market demands.
