Hornby announce the ex SECR / SR / BR(s) Wainwright H Class 0-4-4 tank as part of their 2017 range

[C.A.T.Ford]

Or maybe it's a  J which is of course a huge H.

I'll have one of those, too, provided it's in SECR livery.

[John Isherwood]

How about a HUGE delivery of FROTH ?!?

An O gauge H class? That would be (relatively) huge!

[Dunsignalling]

A Pull-push set suitable for pre-1959 would be good, the lack (so far) of a BR early-emblem H might point to the possibility of a train pack including one.

 

One of the 1949-converted Ironclad or earlier ex-LBSC conversions would suit me down to the ground but I'm not sure if pre-1948 sets remained unaltered very far into BR days.

 

Either would also appeal to existing M7 owners.

A Huge H, maybe Hornby ment a H but much bigger, what about a Marsh I3    4-4-2T from the same period, entered service around 1907 just like the H class and much bigger, and a great  resemblance with the Wainwright H class and they look fantastic in LBSC livery and they did the heaviest expresses of that time.

So maybe Hornby try to misled  us with an huge H        

[Cor-onGRT4]

And Marsh did also the big [huge] H1 and H2 for the LBSC so maybe this is can be the oposit from Hornby for Bachmann's [LBSC] SR H2 Atlantic

Highly probable since I brought a kit of this loco to build!

[Anglian]

HUGE may be H.U.G.E. What could that be the acronym for?

[John M Upton]

Highly Unpopular Great Engine.

 

That will be the Fell then....

[Legend]

Big H could be Hornby..........big H news

[Hilux5972]

Big H could be Hornby..........big H news

Well considering Hornby Magazine reported in the last issue that Hornbys 2018 range is finalised, I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing new announcements soon. That's pretty big H news.

OO Works did the I3 recently.Anyone who bought one is not going to be happy if Hornby duplicate one quite so soon and will go down like a lead balloon.So please not.

[Cor-onGRT4]

Depending on how HUGH you want to have it, the SECR J class looks like even more on a Wainwright H class, same cab style, same coalbunker style , only larger 0-6-4T and heavier 72 tons--- HUGH??

Overal it looks great, don't know if the SECR livery was like the H class, but if it does it would be stunnig

OO-Works do very limited runs which sell out quickly. The I3 has sold out. They won't mind being copied. They probably regard it as a compliment.

They have already had their King Arthur, C class, H class, Drummond 700, E4 class, Adams and Pullman Observation coach all duplicated by Bachby.

 

So on that basis it will be the (ex OO-Works) L class then.....

Whist you’re apologising, please re-emphasise the K4!

OO Works may well mind - the danger is, if everything they make is copied a few years later by Hornby or Bachmann, what incentive is there for people to buy another OO Works product knowing that H or B will release a (probably cheaper) version (OO Works products are understandably more expensive) a few years later.

OO Works state on their web-site that they are not interested in making their locos DCC-ready. My layout is DCC, and I don't like having to solder chips into my locomotives, preferring the manufacturer to wire in a socket for me to plug my choice of chip into. So I am most unlikely to buy anything from OO Works unless it is something highly desirable and unlikely to be produced by anyone else, such as a W or Z class tank. In my opinion, if they don't want Hornby or Bachmann to copy their models, they should change their DCC policy.

That has always been the case and it hasn't stopped every OO-Works offering selling out with no difficulty.

 

We take this risk also every time we build a kit or upgrade and detail an old model.

 

When the OO-Works C class came out who would have thought a relatively unknown geographically-limited SECR 0-6-0 a subject that might interest Bachmann.

 

I reckon I3 owners are quite safe - but who knows.

[Oldddudders]

I infer that OO Works have little difficulty shifting a production run. People have noted that the detailing can be a little plain, but that doesn't seem to deter sales. If you were OO Works would you be worrying about the small % of sales that go to DCC-users who are unwilling to solder? I suggest not.

And for their latest run an LSWR D15...they are to use a coreless motor...shock horror..For my sins,I have ordered one in Southern Railway guise.Apart from an Adams Radial bought second hand,a first for me from OO Works.Something different,I feel.

HUGE might relate to the 1:1 version of course rather than a relatively big 0 gauge model..

[rembrow]

HUGE could relate to the 'K' class, as the 'K' class submarines were huge steam powered submarines with retractable funnels, as well as elegant LBSC Moguls. Now there's a wish.
