Any word on release date of Hornby’s ‘Stephenson Rocket?’ Does one suppose it will
have a better motor the old Triangle product?

I think someone herein suggested the use of a “Black Beetle” power bogie to power my defunct Triangle Rocket. I’d never
heard of this brand before, and believe it shall be just the right ticket. Many thanks.

Better get in quickly, Chops. Black Beetles will no longer be available soon, once the manufacturer's supply of Mashima motors runs out. I know he still has some left but they will run out within a finite time. Also, he has stopped supplying outside retailers, so, again, their supplies will run out soon (if they have not already).

The manufacturer of Black Beetles is Steam Era Models, based on Phillip Island in Victoria, here in Australia.
