New Railway Modellers Forums

Hmmmm. Friends of mine who are still into it reckon Hornby are too late to the party with this, on account of the Steampunk thing having peaked around 4 years ago ... Bit like their toy story stuff, came out years after the last film was made at the time. Bet they are annoyed another film was made ...

Robbing Rails describe this as good condition......

Its been a few years since they last updated the LMS duchess models. Time for a rehash

Bachmann had an EP sample of the new V2 on show at Warley according to visitors, so progress - at last... Bachmanns Europe's production runs have reduced to such a point that they get very low priority for each level though to production now, and this is really showing in how long it's taking from ...

I'm always looking at railroad range items that I want and that got me thinking, it'd be nice to see the old terrier in the range in a colourful livery or named lbsc livery (I know, highly unlikely), also the old B12 with chuff chuff tender (still trying to get a BR blue one to replace the one I ha...

Have to say I'm super impressed with mine. I run it without the supplied conflat.. It seems to run without any stuttering even over an insulfrog long crossing. I just don't know how it does it to be honest. I do wish Hornby would give you the option of buying without the match truck for a reduced pr...

I must say I'm super impressed with the model as a whole, it looks exactly like the prototype and runs great too. However for the price, I do think the added detail is of rather poor quality. Compare the pipework to those that come with the latest Bachmann 40, or Hornby 87 for example. They are more...

Are they illuminated?

looking at all his stuff for sale, I think he's just a chancer waiting for some idiot to buy something.

Seems to be their policy now.

Still waiting on mine arriving. I noticed that they have correctly modelled the non driven center wheel a smaller diameter that the driven ones. Nice touch I thought.

We've all seen the new Terrier that will eventually hit the shelves but I wonder if Hornby will do a GER brake van to go with it? Confused and wondering what this has to do with a Terrier? Look up the Edge Hill Light Railway! Jim Did the Edge Hill Light Railway actually get as far as running a trai...

It was sold as brand new. No mention of any damage. They have lots of them in stock still, probably due to it being in pre grouping livery. I think in retrospect I will contact Rails on Monday as it looks to me that it might be a return. I think I can see a fine finger mark on its boiler.
