That’s a Class 67, NOT a Class 37!!

Where is this video taken? Is it on the Llangollen Railway? If so, it looks gorgeous!!

Nice Class 67!! Just remember it’s not designed to haul Gresley Teaks!!

Wow there using the other loco I wish there was a passing point so they could run more than one train

Amazing railway 🛤 🛤

Im attending to it next Wednesday I am bringing my foxcote manor hall class steam locomotive next Wednesday the same as last time you might of seen me there im not so sure

was this in milford haven?

I always go there to see those 197s

Awesome is this N?

The train Duck (from Thomas and friends) is based off of

Why dose a 009 pacer look better than a regular n giage pacer

Is that at the club

didnt know dapol did a deltic

Oh nice I saw that at Ramsey

I should be coming this Wednesday

Disappointments express.

I can’t help but think they’re not modellers but they’re trying really hard to learn about it for their job, while not really succeeding very well.

Dual gauge is so cool

Very disappointing. 😢

Did you go up and see the castle class in Cardiff today?

While I do agree that the build-up towards the announcements gave the impression of something "more", I do like the Q&A session, they give me some insights into Hornby's thinking, which I find interesting. I do wish they would work on their sound issues; it can be extremely hard to hear what they are saying at times. All in all, I enjoyed the live stream. I had other models on my wish list, but, as always, we can't have it all. I may have better luck next time. Thanks for the video.

Well considering that Hornby did a 21 pin Class 60 update in 2022 and others. I was hoping that Hornby would have done more liveries on their Class 60 model. Also with Accurascale and Cavalex Models also making a Class 60 for 2025. Hornby missed out on some potential Class 60's for Christmas 2024 because that would have made them a bit of profit from Christmas presents and those that wanted something interim. Another poorly planned setup. Now I can focus on the Accurascale Class 60's as Hornby have nothing I want and Accurascale wins my custom from both Hornby and Cavalex Models. I do O gauge nowadays but I would be a fool to pass up on the Accurascale Class 60's and I am looking forward to getting about 3-4 of them for display.

I agree with the title. Hornby are beginning to let themselves down in my book.

Yes, I thought their announcements collectively added up to a highly priced damp squib.

HORNBY have just run out of ideas Their philosophy is increase the prices of models as far as the market will allow THIS IS WHY HOBBY IS DIEING

They seem to be concentrating more on TT and moving away from OO maybe the end of Hornby there cant be much interest in TT look how many get junked out !!

Christ , it's like the summer fashion release in Paris. One thing that does annoy me is the sound units, bloody terrible in everything by everyone. I'm more of a Kato and Tomix fan than Honkby.

I think Hornby is dying, the loses have left it starved of cash for new investments and simply whilst having many virtues TT is simply too capital hungry for such a cash strapped company and will end up pushing it into new owners again ie Sports Direct.

For that price on the Hush Hush I would want a better modelled pony truck as per Trix's HO Flying Scotsman.

Lots of layouts in the era of my intrest, thanks for this lovely Video…

and of course, the GC power cars were the ones fitted with buffer beams, ex 91 set formations from the 90's ECML.

It was flagged as a new tooling annoucement so maybe Hornby thought the hush hush with steam was their idea of new tooling. It was not really a new tooling announcement

The fact they hyped up this announcement for ages is what makes it so lacklustre. Doing a Bachmann, Accurascale is one thing of announcing a stunning new model, but the old Lima HST with a rubbish motor , the old Airfix tool 1999 release mk3's , 1980's procor van , a niche steam locomotive with a smoke generator unit & rerun of the Drax biomass carriers as another limited run certainly lacks the gloss of what their rivals do. A company void of ideas or void of money?

Well, those biomass wagons would look ridiculous on my 1930's GWR branchline, nor fit the passing loops. No sale there. No way do I want or need an HST in ANY livery - so no sale there, and am I reading the hush-hush engine's price right? Twentynine THOUSAND and umpty-pumty dollars, or is that a misprint on the caption? Even three hundred squid is way, way too much, I don't want gadgets which are temperamental and fallible - and besides, since when did No 10,000 ever run in Cornwall? So you can see Hornby are going to do very, very well out of my custom!

Tiz utter rubbish what they've announced - more exciting choosing tea bags

Unfortunately and I dont want to upset anyone. Hornby are becoming a bit of a joke lately . With very little in the way of information ( Sam's trains a few months ago talked about this ).The quality control on it's models. And the ever increasing price of it's models. The railroad H.S.T. that they have just realised is probably the old lima model and most of it's railroad locos are . Admittedly now have a better motor. But what your paying for is like I said is basically an old lima model. So I do wonder why Hornby do the things they do and say . They seem to think that they are a good company ! When they are failing on many issues. Which is a shame and not good for the hobby.

hi, great video, love the booster loco on your track,really looks the part, entry levell for children would be an 0-4-0 tank loco with wagons and track.which could be bought for under seventy pounds if you know where to look. that hush hush looks like the back of a bus, i'm putting my money on Big Bertha,

I was very disappointed that they didn't announce a revamped class 60 or a bevy of liveries on the old Lima class 60 in the Railroad range. After all we need more class 60s.

Hope we get update on HORNBY R3859 CLASS J36 0-6-0 65330 BR GREEN LIMITED EDITION STEAM LOCOMOTIVE and HORNBY R30137 CLASS B17/5 4-6-0 61670 'CITY OF LONDON' BR STEAM LOCOMOTIVE as been waiting over 2-3 years four them to come out.

Ah yes, I’m sure there are loads of children saving up the 150 quid for a HST without any coaches.

My Though on it Cymru rails. The only good thing was class 43 but see it in railroad family got disappointed about it. It has been 14 years since we got a well detail version of it. Good people don't have a lot of money and kids. But there should be One from railroad family plus news tools version. To give people a choice. Should done one in TT scale got me into it. Wagon god person like Morden things. Being nice if Hornby could do so steam train want are pre 1923 or SR to 1952. As in two.

Hardly worth announcing they were making announcements… you might as well have just made the announcements without the preamble

No matter how they announce it, not much new under the sun is there? As for the hush hush steam generator, as that's the only one that sits in the era I would buy, can't speak for the rest, but it's all about what I see as useless expensive gadgets. The only plus point is that it's harmless water, that's vaporized, rather than the unhealthy oils that were vaporizes in the past. And they happily announced "it doesn't lose that much water as the previous equipped models"🤯, what is there objective, ruining your layout? And for those who think it's realistic you're going to be disappointed, you never going to get the big black and white clouds a real steamer makes, besides that, this effect can only be used on big loco's and I doubt it that a lot of collectors are really waiting for this, even if money is not an issue for you to buy it. And even if this is your thing, keep in mind this is new technologie, how long will it last before you can say "this is a very expensive loco with a steam generator that doesn't steam anymore…". Best part is, I got time to save up some money for new good tooled models in the future😅

I think Hornby would have been better off providing a couple of the coaches with the GC HST power cars and then have some additional coaches available so you could build the rake up.

Success is that some people will buy the products not that everyone will. Might get the Biomass wagons. With all the diesel classes issued several times and plenty new things being issued my budget is more than subscribed. Still an informative video.

You didn't read the product numbers and running numbers. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY
