Diesel and Electric Locomotives -  Hornby are planning to weave their magic on the class 56. An already good model in my opinion, especially for the money has been retooled to take it to the next level. Hornby have confirmed it will have twin bogie drive and will be dcc fitted. I can also assume it will have directional lighting, pickups on all wheels and NEM coupling as well as improved detailing. Click here to read more

Steam Locomotives -  2007 sees a raft of releases from Hornby to bolster their steam fleet. Back are old favourites in new guises allowing an increase in options for people already possessing members of those classes and more importantly there is promise of brand new models. Most of the new models for 2007 are DCC Ready or DCC Fitted. Click here to read more
