Nice to see more Intercity Swallow stuff, and the Railroad Tornado will be a big hit too. Well, it will in this house anyway.....

what i am looking for is..
Class 153 in First Great Western Local Lines
Class 143 in First Great Western Local Lines
and Wessex 153s
but the network rail Hst and intercity mk3 sleeper looks good

Whens the 4VEP due for release? Seems like we been waiting forever for it.
Can't wait to get my hands on 50008 'Thunderer' to pair up with 'Valiant'!

Time just keeps on slipping - either way, its looking rather likely itll be in shops roughly the same time as bachmanns EPB...

Note - The 66's are, as typical of Hornby, the incorrect re-issued ex Limby 66/0s - So theyll have sod all in the way of detail, and have the incorrect headlight set up.

Even though not mentioned in the release. Could be some new spec 67's coming.

Priced at £96 for Non DCC fitted and £110 for DCC Fitted. As really can't imagine Hornby would give a RRP for the old Lima ones.

Fantastic, 50008 in Laira Blue. Hope it's as good as the real thing:

What have they done to the 395? 
It's horrendous!

It seems Hornby are ahead of the game as the real Tornado is undergoing a livery change to Brunswick Green in 2011 see here:

and I bet its the same number as well, just like the normal blue one and the white one! 395001 (I was a bit disappointed when I saw that on the white one as well!)

Those 395s look awful
Have Hornby been commissioned to do them?

I’m highly surprised that Hornby are releasing a “Tornado” model, when Bachmann already offer a far superior version of that loco. Is the Hornby model an old Lima mould then? Or an altered Hornby A3? At least they are ahead of the game with the repaint of the real loco into Brunswick green (Which IMO will be awful compared to the apple green livery the loco currently wears).
I notice they’ve provided the Devon Belle observation car in later Scottish form, as used on the Kyle of Lochalsh line: I previously thought, prior to a quick bit of research, that it was only the two LNER “Coronation” observation cars that found their way into use on the Scottish regions’ scenic lines.

I'm happy that hornby have given us a budget tornado at last. The new 395 does not look good AT ALL. Hornby has made a good decision by introducing the wonderful little 03 shunter into the thomas line.
And smokey joe in the railroad line!?!? He still had it!
P.S.I'm back.

While Hornby have taken their level up quite a few notches in the last few years, this year with no major 'Diesel' new model, was, personally, disappointing..'when I was young' waiting for the new Hornby models each year was THE event worth waiting for!
You can cheer yourself up by buying me the new D49 when it's out.

Im still waiting for stuff from the 2010 range, instead of producing new models i'd rather see Hornby concentrate on getting there production line running smoothly so when they say a new model will be released, it actually arrives when stated!
Im still waiting for my 4VEP!

They can be very slow sometimes. I've only used them once or twice but they did take a while.
