    Quite happy with my rake of three Maunsells and a "C" brake/luggage van. Had them a while back, and they are currently being hauled by 34036 'Westward Ho' on my layout. By the way, Hornby are announcing their 2010 range on Christmas Day.

    Almost snap, I've been running my 3 BR green Maunsell's with the red BR luggage van with rebuilt Bulleid 34008 Padstow. Can't wait to get complete my other blood & custard Maunsell's and pair them with my lined black T9 30285. It would be great though if Hornby could bring out a lined black H class or even 32424 Beachy Head to match with the BR Maunsells aswell.[-o<

    following on from 30865 Sir john hawkins, how about a NRM version of 850 in its current guise??????

    BTW H class may be on the list for the future of Hornby because i know several people have written in about SECR locos.

    A current Nellie would be quite nice.

    bachmann did a range of lord nelsons a while ago. surely asking the manufacturers now is a waste of time as they've probably already decided and are working on pre-production as we speak, so a more pertinant question would be what do we hope bachmann and hornby release in 2011....

    Bachmann are slowly re-tooling all their old split chassis models anyway, so I wonder whether it is due for a makeover within the next two years?

    Regards,

    A bit off topic but does anyone know what percentage of Maunell coaches were painted in to blood and custard. I can’t remember seeing any in my video collection or anywhere else.


    Thanks

    When we out shopped Nelson around 2/3 years ago I contacted Bachmann about this but I'm still awaiting a reply to this day!!!

    I'm sure Bachmann have already brought out a model of Lord Nelson in Brunswick Green a few year's ago.

    Yes, about five or six years ago. I've got 'Sir John Hawkins' for Christmas, got it for my grandparents to keep and wrap-up for the big day. From the glimpse I got of it, it looks quite nice, although the coal is rather poorly moulded (and looks non-removable), and the bogie wheel rims are a little over-thick. Despite it having an Early BR crest (I prefer the Late crest on locos that had it during the time-period of my layout), I have sources that state that it carried this almost, if not actually, to withdrawal, so it is suitable for my 1960-1961 layout. I also have an Early crested Q1, No. 33037, so despite it not being of the time 1960-61, it can keep 'Hawkins' company. Yes, I'm fairly pedantic...

    They've done 850 twice (which might be why they are reluctant to do it again although saying that they did do 3 seperate runs of Green Arrow) - Once in BR Green as mentioned and before that there was a limited edition in SR Green (A run of 1000 in the year the model was first released).

    Personally, I wouldn't mind a few GWR Manors to be modelled, preferably ones that have been preserved!

    Most of them have been done in the past, but the Bachmann model could do with a bit of updating... The old split chassis isn't running quite as well as some of the newer models.

    From an alleged 'leak' on a Japanese (of all places) web site, it seems like the big news from Hornby in 2010 is a 4VEP EMU, LNER L1 2-6-4 tank, Hawksworth carriages, updated models of the B17 and 28xx, more Pullmans (although not the blue DEMU variety, of course), more sound fitted diesels and.. er... that's all I can remember.

    The info has since been taken down, suggesting it's possibly quite close to the truth. Perhaps.

    If that's true, then there's nothing for me to purchase in terms of new models apart from playing catch-up, although there'll hopefully be a few new identities for the Bulleids and the T9. Schools class 'Winchester' should be out too after being postponed from this years' catalogue.
