I am concerned that this comment needs to be left… that can’t be good…

Rightly so .... a sad indictment on society. Keep up the good work nevertheless😊

Not a modeller but very nice model, however £200 for basic model with decoder rising to close to £300 with decoder is a lot of money

Hi there. Remember these at Wellingborough. Saw these models at Northampton show last weekend. Look really good. Caroline

[@modelrailwaynoob]

It looks really nice. I like this version. The handrails by the doors, just like the last lot of class 24s look over scale. I have a Sutton's Workshop class 25 with sound and stay alive on order.

I always assumed that Hornby Magazines new space was just to house Mike's model and layout collection.

Its nice we had them at Shirebrook West depot for a short time not strong enough for coal trains.

Would love to see how a DCC sound version performs on dc .

[@aberfordwest4003]

It is a bit too expensive, but then again I don’t model diesels, I’m sure they’re brilliant

[@djwarren5081]

Me thinks I'd quite like one of those.

[@christinerobottom9444]

At £310 I think I can miss this one.

[@richardbraham2486]

I’d like to know what code track is used in this video. 75 or 100?

[@hornbymag]

Its Peco code 75 bullhead rail used on this layout.

If these model railway companies are not careful with there over pricing there going to kill off model railway's for good people on low income just can't afford the prices just sheer madness even the second hand market has jumped aboard on over charging,

Sadly hobbies are expensive. For example if photography is a hobby a decent camera and lens can cost thousands. Then there is the editing software subscription, filters, extra batteries, tripod, etc. But people will always find time and money for a hobby, even if it means paying for something over a period of time. Model railways are no different. Remember also, just because you want a hobby, doesn't always mean you can afford it when you want to. That is just the reality of life, for everything. 😊

@@hornbymag sixty years of railway modeling under my hat. And prices have never gone up as rapidly as they have in the last few years what's their excuse this time?, If I remember right bachmanns excuse was it's a special type of plastic, we use, I bet it's recycled they use ,

[@stormbowman7148]

​@@hornbymag Also, railway modelling doesn't have to be expensive. The beauty about the hobby is that you can scale to your needs/ability. A branch line with a single class 110, a shunter and some goods wagons doesn't have to cost a fortune. Of course the massive layout with lots of trains is appealing. Personally, I found the smaller layout with some shunting options to be much more fun. Each to his own of course.

[@grandaddyoe1434]

I've been modelling for over sixty years and quality is as relatively expensive as it ever was. Details on RTR now were unimaginable until recently; pay more, get more . . .

[@joginns778]

@@grandaddyoe1434 that's not always the case take a look at Hornby who took over Lima lots of old stock cost double just for a respray there are five different couplings on Hornby and with all these companies a lot of old stock respray and costing a lot more dapol are doing a GWR inspection saloon the cost150 POUNDS or more can you afford that?
