Hornby will announce their new products on Tuesday, January 10th at 7:00am (GMT).

Now they’ve joined the world of TT again I wonders if they’ll do the same with O.

With the amount of locos awaited from previous years do we really need announcement of more. What woild be good although I very much doubt it is full availaibility of spare parts right down to individual parts of a body aka Heljan

Still something I look forward to even though they don’t make stuff in my scale.

I must admit that I like to look at proposals. My TT Scotsman set has arrived, and runs well.. Very impressed.

can't believe there are no post on the 2023 announcements.

Steve, there is a new 8F due in Autumn, will the workshop be open for business?

The usual sound fit, weather, tools and crew etc you know the usual high standard work you do.

Cheers

I don’t see why not, arthritis permitting.
The 8f I did for you recently got me hooked - bought the same version for myself and have the new Hornby one on pre-order.

The 8F seems to be the existing 2002 tooled model.

sorry to hear of the arthritis Steve, my good lady suffers the same, she has to inject methotrexate regularly.

Your work on the 8F was fantastic and it's a regular on the layout even now with a rake of Oxford/Hattons ICI hoppers. I trust you implicitly with the work on the 8F and the other loco's you have prepared for me.

Good to hear you went the same direction, did you include sound into your loco?

I appreciate your ear and experience when you discovered a fault with the SWD sound, this was quickly rectified by SWD with no quibbles whatsoever.

Thank you
