Good to see Hornby releasing more train sets/packs and also promoting the Railroad/ Railroad plus range more to make items more affordable.

This was quite a nice new set of announcements, it's nice to see the Midland Pullman HST power cars being produced again, as well as the 91 and matching DVT's. Great video and well documented too

Well done guys, great presentation, with some points of interest, thanks.

A Saint, J15 and Tavern cars were the highlights for me. First time in a while ive been intrested in a Hornby announcement.

I was a bit underwhelmed. I usually place pre-orders but I haven't this time. I logged in expecting to get the HST trainset but it is a budget version so I haven't. I am considering the steam and sound version of that lovely grey loco in front of you. I had recently pre-ordered the GNR J13 however and received a new Peckett, 'Lady Cornelia' on Saturday. That is fab.

Maybe add a note that while you were talking about the HD DP1 model you were showing the Railroad Deltic model 👍

[Richard-wdq]

Got to go for the Inter City 125 set. Great to see it's back !!!

[pouncelikeapuma]

Would love some information on what is railroad about the azuma?
Does it still have head and tail lights?
Does it still have interior lighting?

[Ianshandle]

Look forward to Beatles mono and stereo wagons next year…. Total tat!

[stephendavies]

Hello chaps. I've pre-ordered the GER-livered J15 & the RR EWS-livered 08. I know both are old tooling, but the GER livery for £125 at the retailers was too good to miss, and for £50-odd the Gronk will look fine from 3 feet clagging around the layout.

[djwarren]

Great new models. Great presentation guys.

[russellbenton]

The Beatles truly puzzling . I don’t know anyone that’s buying them and you quite frequently see them on the shelves - so not exactly flying out the door !

[davetedd]

The yellow patch on the Blue Pullman HST was temporary and didn't last long. I'd have preferred if Hornby had just done an all blue front version.

[derekross]

Can you tell me when the new catalogue will be in WH SMITH thanks

[markweightman]

Do you know if the Azuma has traction tyres ..? If so its a deal breaker as the railroad motor bogie with traction tyres is horrible, and the loco will be lightweight plastic chassis....

[DeanPark]

My highlight was watching it last night hehe.

And the swallow class 91 :-)

[charlescarmichael]

Great video, shame about a rather lacklustre release. They should have built on the LNER articulated coaches with the Silver Jubilee formation, hopefully since they released the coronation formation with no quality failure returns they’ll look to do them in the future. Might consider the Railway 200 javelin once the decorations are announced🤞

[roglaker]

At about 24:30+ - and yes I do realise that it's Railroad, but - the 1st class Mk3 STILL fitted with standard class seating. Ist class seats align with windows!

[lapiswake]

I think this is the first time Hornby has done a 390/1 as a full 11-car? I was so frustrated that the Pride 390/1 was only done as a 9-car...

When will digital edition for feb drop ?
