Prog Rock Hornby.

Post by Tiddles »

Has anyone else noticed the use of Prog Rock names on Hornby products?

We have the King Crimson loco with the (Richard) R.Fripp Mining Company waggon.

Then the (Steven) S.Wilson Paper Mills loco.

From Marillion we have the (Steve) Hogarth Stone, (Steve) Rothery Industries, (Ian) Mosley Tarmacadam, (Mark) Kelly & Son Paper Mill and the (Pete) Trewavas Aggregates Ltd locos.

From Rush we have the (Neil) Peart Industries diesel loco.

I am trying to see if I can find any more. If you know of any please let us know.

I actually did an Episode of Beaglington-On-Sea which had a section Within about the 'Secret Beatles Trainset' from Hornby.

It's very cool as it gives me (or You if you find one) a Beatles themed engine to haul my Beatles wagons Without having to pay a rediculous amount to have one of the trainpacks they have done (class 73/ex-Thomas 0-4-0).
Do You think they will do more?

I recently purchased the Country Rambler set, simply because I thought it was a nice looking set especially the livery of the loco.
Had not noticed the Beatles reference, intended or not.
