@hornby magazine I'm wondering I've got an old train set of yours that my parents got me for an birthday present and is pre China it's in perfect condition is there any one I can show the set to please?

[@terrier_productions]

I've just realised that this is features the same Mike Wild that might have slotted my layout (Oakleymoss) into 2021's Great Electric Train Show..

Wonderful to be involved with the Steampunk models for Hornby. Great fun designing them. Not trying to upset anyone. Aim is to broaden the appeal and get more modellers into our wonderful hobby.

[@hornbymag]

Fantastic way to make people think outside the box while also attracting a new audience to model railways. 👍🏻

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

i see now why you had to keep hush hush when i asked you about selling these locos when i spoke to you at warley, very good idea and think they will do well

[@Calvertfilm]

@@northwesttrainsmodels Thank you, yes it was so hard not to tell the world for 10 months lol. Quite a quick development time.

[@millarlambie2970]

Wish I still had my little Hornby I played with in Hillington Glasgow in 1944 during WW11 Nice to see something that hasn’t been discontinued years ago.

[@garyhodge7861]

I haven't bought a new train for years, I have enough. "The APT has been re released" - I'm buying a new train this year and I'll keep the 40 year old one. Thank you Hornby and congratulations on 100 years of successful business.

[@fredrich9841]

Awesome video guys! Please do more videos like this - fast paced, informative and interesting. Thank you! 🙂

[@hornbymag]

Loads more on the cards, not to mention the Bachmann launch.

[@Aaron-uf3sl]

Great video, nice to see an in-depth look into the new range, a long video but one that’s easy to watch. Just on the Rovex train set it mimics the one released for the Christmas of 1950 as an exclusive for Marks & Spencers.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks for the comment and your right

[@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne]

Very informative! Looks like a very exciting year ahead.

[@hornbymag]

Oh yes, loads to.come this year!

[@AmazeTase]

Good stuff. Like the video catalogue review! More like this please!

[@hornbymag]

Loads more to come! 😁

[@russellbenton2987]

Best video I’ve seen on the range so far . Got to laugh at Railroad plus . What’s the difference between that and the 66s that are in main range . They needed to sort out Railroad and Main Range but instead introduced a third variant! But overall it’s a great range . Hadn’t realised Duchess of Abercorn was diecast until your video . Already signed up for the Tri-ang Rocket pack .

[@hornbymag]

Thanks for the comment Russell! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@hovermotion]

Wow...my dreams have been answered....I cannot believe how long it's took Hornby to relaunch the Apt from the 70s set... I model Ho scale but would would preorder this set without a thought.......I was going to get a 70s set and retro fit it out with dcc sound but now I will wait for this to come out... Great vid lads.... Jim.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed the video

[@MrNas42]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very informative.

[@CZ350tuner]

Rovex produced the original "Plunger" Princess Elizabeth locomotive back in 1950 for Marks & Spencer. I have one and the original brass railed track. It runs perfectly fine on all brands of OO track except the Series 1 track that it was originally sold with. Rovex underestimated demand for their product and asked Triang to take Rovex over, which they did later in 1950. In 1951 became branded as Triang Railways. Triang Railways also bought all the tooling from Trackmaster for the N2 0-6-2T clockwork tank locomotive, the 7 plank open wagon and the goods van. The company's product range has continued to grow larger ever since with some of the 1950's line side models and 1962 platforms still in production today.

[@newreviews100]

Watched from begining to end. Great video. Well done Richard & Mike. Some great Hornby products on the way during 2020!

[@soundseeker63]

I'm really excited about the APT!! :-D Can't wait to see it in the flesh... It's about time someone did an updated version. I just hope they get colour matching on the livery right this time around!! Ditto the 91s! Another modern icon thats well overdue an update. Its nice to see AC electrics finally getting their share of the spotlight.

[@robertcotgrave5920]

I have very special memories of hornby. May it long continue.

[@davidshepherd1107]

Loved the video and the further information you give to the catalogue.

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

SOON on our railways there will be NO class 91's 43's 86's ... SOON on our railway there will no class 150's 153's 156's 185's 220's.. There will ONLY be poxy 800's and 802's.

[@paddycoleman1472]

Thanks Chaps - that was a really good presentation.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Paddy!

[@bravedan]

As an "N" modeller strictly 30's LMS (L&Y), only interest in the range not purchase, but I think the Steam Punk idea is truly brilliant. I can see a lot of 3D Print detailing appearing!!

5 minutes later, reaches for a couple of early Grafar 0-6-0T's.......... MMMMMM!

[@RedShedNick]

Shocked thought i had subbed, hadn't!! Have now, appologies! Best every range i have ever seen, congratulations to you Hornby! Could you please clarify the TTS diesel range please, are you re releasing the 67 chip by any chance, and any new liveries planned for the 67?.Finally think you missed a trick not doing a gbrf liveried class 60,rather than another class 60 in Colas Rail livery especially when its now with Gbrf. Great 66 liveries you have planned, sod Hattons! prefer yours look good and sound good! Its all hornby for me this year, thankyou very much regards Nick Redshed 66077.

[@hornbymag]

Hi Nick, thanks for subbing, it may be worth asking Hornby those questions as Hornby Magazine is a separate entity. 😁

[@malcolmmedlicott967]

Hi guy's, sorry if this seams a daft question but could you tell me what is the blue steam engine shown on the front cover of the Hornby magazine issue 138, I like the look of it and maybe would like to buy one if they are still available, any help would be appreciated, MANY THANKS

Hi Hornby. Really interested to know if the LNER east coast coaches will have the different coach interiors. I’ve seen on the sample models for the new sliding door mark 3 coaches the different interiors which go with different coach types. Do the LNER coaches have these interiors too??

[@jishotgaming6301]

Well done guys great rundown very informative and so many thing to break the bank with.

[@hornbymag]

Ha tell me about it, thanks for the comment!

[@michaelwoodhams8607]

What a fantastic session-I watched from start to finish and it was so full of exciting news-views and background history-Thank You very much. no I cannot wait for the new models to be available-started saving already-only problem will now need a larger layout and a larger area----so perhaps a move might have to be considered...instead of a home with a model railway attached it needs to be a model railway with a home attached.

thanks Michael

[@NGaugeVideo]

Excellent Range Hornby. All the very best for 2020.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks

[@mr8I7]

Always loved the APT since seeing it outside the NRM back when I was a young lad. I didn’t know any of it’s history so I just couldn’t understand why such a beautiful train was being left to rot outside. APT-E would be my ultimate train set if they ever make it...

[@ajmayowskijr]

Congratulations on 100 years. Very nice product.

It is odd, but I really like the period boxes, what a clever idea.

[@hornbymag]

Yes it's very clever.

Gives Alot more to entice a buyer for another similar limited edition model loco that's usually packaged in a not very different collectors box often only with a small sticker by instead designing one packaged in a very different original such as the dublo

[@MrMJSproductions]

Well done - super watch! Some great stuff but not of my era - late 50s to early 70s pre TOPS, Southern, non-steam. My fingers were crossed for 33s and 47s and Multiple Units. Buildings - some fine additions there. So looking forward to the control system app too.. that sounds revolutionary and priced to get my attention. Happy New Decade all.

[@hornbymag]

Many thanks Mark!

Enthusiasts - The class 91 is going out of service and there’s never been a decent model... Hornby - So what?! Cavalax - We’ve made one! Enthusiasts - Wow! That looks really awesome! About time too! I’ll definitely buy one of them. Hornby - CLASS 91 IN 2020

Are the DCC "ready" Centenary Limited edition Steam locos capable of digital sound? thanks

[@antonpotgieter2710]

I had Hornby as a child. Now I live in Japan and with my son am beginning to buy Tomix and Kato N scale stuff. I'm looking at Hornby now for the first time in a while and everything seems to be so expensive. How do people here feel about the pricing?

[@davidwatts1871]

Fantastic video, best review I've watched so far, very informative with the entire range, I think the HM6000 is a must, as a collector I have hundreds of locos and am not convinced by DCC plus the chip cost.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks David, your correct the new controller range should suit you down to the ground!

[@plymouthtoleedsonaxchst9537]

I was hoping Hornby will do more East midlands HSTs with EMR branding,will it happen and East coast HST in the grey livery?

[@tomeitnier4140]

Where can I get a limited edition yellow Volkswagen Van? I'm in Florida USA

[@kevinhale9400]

I think it's about time that Hornby started to reintroduce some of the early ''Big Four' steam loco's, especially my favourites, the GWR engines. These are , to my mind, some of the most attractive loco's of the time. However, not enough attention has been paid to even earlier loco's such late 1800's to early 1900's where some of the most attractive loco's ever created were built. There is a huge plethora of BR steam loco's which, to my mind, were painted in some of the most boring liveries imaginable. The early Victorian GWR steam engines were very attractive and would grace any layout. There were also of a very interesting and elegant design.

[@lesbird2074]

Did the original Hornby Dublo Duchess of Atholl really have a plastic tender body? I thought it had a die cast chassis with a tinplate body.

[@hornbymag]

It was also die cast.

[@grandadgamer8390]

Fantastic news on the releases, about time hornby are releasing the class 91,and as for the APT well that was out the blue, abit pricy, and depends on the drive as well, as for the rolling stock, some great news as well, only thing is missing some eastern region rolling stock, well done HORNBY!!

A great way to show what is in the new Hornby Catalogue Especially for those that live abroad in countries where there are no model/craft shops. Not much new in the LNER range then? Early Era that is. Martin (Dhaka, Bangladesh. Yorkdale LNER Preservation Railway. (Facebook)

Called in both Tescos and WH Smiths. Neither are aware of the combined price offer for the Hornby Magazine and 2020 Catalogue depicted towards the end of this video clip.

[@stephensmith799]

It's a great range appealing to a wide audience.... I am glad there's a BR2MT 2-6-0 on the way but alas not a BR3MT 2-6-0 which holds more appeal to me. When will there ever be an RTR version of these 'Wee Standards'?

[@tropicdalek3486]

It's also happy fiftyith to the ferry van and the hundred ton oil tanker two models that remain in the main range despite their age .l was selling both of these models in the 198os when I worked at various branches of Europe's leading model shops . They celebrate their twentieth anniversary since final closure . Hornby were a very important range to us despite being urged as much as possible to promote the lima British oo models to customers . I remember the battles over the hst sets . Lima being the slightly better model but hornby having the established name and full set of maintenance instructions.

[@leilacentral1883]

The intercity APT!!! That’s is epic and I am so excited! That is a must! But I have to wait till December! Far out I can’t contain myself.

[@hornbymag]

[@davidbradley6127]

Excellent range! Pre ordered the Rovex set. Regarding the Tesco & Smith's promo, my local Smith's store didn't know about it. Is there an official announcement on the Hornby website?

Have you forgotten about your 2019 catalogue? I pre-ordered R3808 HST is Cross Country livery in January 2019, The date on the Hornby website keeps changing and now says `Expected Spring 2020` I`m very disappointed, It`s easy for Hornby to announce models but they are unable to deliver.

When I saw the retooling of the class 91 I was thrilled but then I saw the new APT and now I'm extremely excited. Shame I can't afford them all :( (yet, hopefully once I get a decent job I might)

I think the smoke deflectors on Oliver Cromwell are incorrect if it’s the preserved version but I’m not entirely sure what era it was.

[@SussexHistory]

Quite an interesting collection of new introductions, but there seems to be an element of craziness about with the Steam Punk Railway and the 'Yellow Submarine' Eurostar. Apart from that and the Javelin, there is nothing for the collector of Southern EMUs and DEMUs. I was hoping there might be an Electrostar, but no! Maybe Bachmann will do it? I like the APT and the Pendolino in the latest livery, but these would not be seen south of London.

A bit dissapointed, hoped that the L.M.brake van would be available in BR bauxite livery, have difficulty in obtaining this type for working fitted goods trains.Also noticed departmental coaches were all in post steam era liveries, I model 1950s LM steam era, I can just about get away with running no diesels....

If only the Railroad plus range had lights fitted, Hornby have dropped the ball here, the GBRF 20 + 73 are very tempting but they should've added lights even leading white lights only would've added to the model

How odd

[@johnd8892]

@@hornbymag Not so odd but an early model. Tri-ang Railways The First 10 Years book (RT208 1962) page 10 :"The Princess was born in 1950 ... what has happened since then ... 1956 New leading bogie fitted with front coupling..." Lots of other detail for each year except 1957 "The only year with no changes!" So Pete's model likely a pre 1956 model unless a bitzer or Australian or NZ production. Rovex sent their obsolete tooling to their Australian and NZ factories. This policy helped Lima rapidly gain market share in the 1970s but produced some unique models. Very useful book I have had for 56 years.
