Model Forum / General / Railroads / December 2008Hornby's plans for 2009
Does anyone know when Hornby are going to announce their plans for 2009?  SignatureJane British OO, American and Australian HO, and DCC in the garden http://www.yddraiggoch.demon.co.uk/railway/railway.html Christmas Eve I am lead to believe, not New Year's Eve as on previous occassions.

Now, that would be nice! I could find homes for quite a few of those. Oh, and a couple of class 14's as well, please!

From the info I've found on other websites it would appear to be going to retail at around £130, that's one heck of a lot of cash for what is, at the end of the day, an 0-6-0 diesel shunter. My gut feeling is that were Hornby to do one, it would be considerably cheaper. Badger. >>>> How about some decent electrically operated semaphore signals, like >>>> Hornby-Dublo was selling in 1938?

The GBP exchanges at about $1.80Can right now, but its buying power has been about $1Can or less for most of the last decade. Atlas, Kato, Proto 2000, etc, all offer diesel shunter models in the $100-$200 range, so 130 GBP is not out of line IMO. especially one that will have limited appeal. Cheers.

Yes I think that would be a good start... Rob. |
