RMweb Premium Bob-65b Posted February 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2018 Unless I've misunderstood (always a racing certainty!), there was no class 419, but there was a number 419, which was indeed a 4-4-0 439 class. You've got it running backwards Truffy - it's a 439 Class - an 0-4-4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 It's available as at least one kit. That is a 7mm one; DJH do a 4mm version that it still in their range - I have one on the layout, in BR black, fortunately. I would baulk at tackling the CR blue version....

truffy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I would like to see this in an as-built NBR state, to play nicely with my Caley 812 when it arrives. But there's plenty of time. I did toy with the idea of modding Maude, but don't really want to pay extra for 'toot-toot'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW98Productions Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I really hope that making this J36 really pays off Hornby, I also hope Bachmann's 812 goes well for them too. It'd be nice to see both more pre-grouping and more Scottish loco's on the market ~Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Latest estimate for arrival appears to be Feb 2019. I too hope this will be so successful that other Scottish models follow . A NBR Glen for instance or a nice Caley 4-4-0. Anyway looking forward to the J36. Currently got the NBR preserved one on order I would consider upping it to 2 if I could decide between the L&NER one or BR Got the 812 on order too but with Bachmann as see this more as a long term aspiration!

Last email I had from Hattons suggested a December release but I would not dispute your gen, I did say on another thread that Model Rail 2019 could be a likely launch vehicle. At least we are getting updates on this one, the silence from Rails/Bachman is deafening. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we are getting updates on this one, the silence from Rails/Bachman is deafening. Jim Agree Jim , at least Hornby try to keep you updated . The gen came from the Lord Nelson thread where a series of new Hornby locos had been delayed . While delighted at the 812 my concern always was that it was Bachmann that Rails had gone to. It’ll be a great model when it arrives , but who knows the cost and when . Rails were quoting £160 and 18 months but I did get the feeling that was more in hope than something definite. The 18 months would place it as Sept 2019, but I’d wager on 2020 or even 2021, based on the 94XX and really the lack of models coming from Bachmann at the moment.

Black 5 Bear Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Hornby website still shows December 2018 for Maude,however I think this will most likely extend into early 2019. Maybe Hornby will surprise us all with a pre-Christmas release at Warley in November. Edited August 20, 2018 by Black 5 Bear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 ... I too hope this will be so successful that other Scottish models follow . A NBR Glen for instance or a nice Caley 4-4-0... No shortage of beautiful model subjects from north of the Manchester - York line . Without being too preachy about it, this all hangs on sufficient of those who want RTR models of such plunking down the cash in quantity. I too hope...

I wouldn't read too much into time taken with other projects such as the 94XX. The 812 and G5 are commissions. They'll be right at the front of the queue.

They'll be right at the front of the queue. Jason On the TMC web-site for the G5 it states 'Expected release date is 15th Jun 2020'... Anyway, re J36s (and G5s), folks might be interested to know that the current issue of Steam Days magazine (Sept 2018) has a great feature on Hawick's sub-sheds with lots of lovely period shots of said locos, plus extracts of historic OS 25" scale plans of the sheds and stations around the Borders, such as Duns and Riccarton Junction. all the best, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That prompts a happy memory. In a long ago time when I was fit enough to walk the Pennine way in a single twelve day stretch, we overnighted at the Youth Hostel in Bellingham, in which village one of the shops had a sideline in very good b/w prints (copyright EE Smith - easy to remember as there was a sf author of the same name) showing the steam railway operation. Quite unlikely some of them, A V2 on freight proceeding through a hay meadow (track completely hidden by long grass) with a freight at a location that may have been Splashetts or Stobs was one of the most striking. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2018 Quick question . I’ve got Maude NBR on order which for me unfortunately comes with TTS and DCC fitted. Does that mean it comes with a blanking plate in the accessory pack so I can remove them easily or do I need to buy a blanking plate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathonAG Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Having seen the latest update, already with 'Maude' and a single BR version on order....another two BR for renumberings may be required to further justify how stunning a model the J36 is looking to be. If Rails can match this with the Caley 812, then we Scottish based enthusiasts are in for a good 18 months.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted August 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2018 Having seen the latest ..... If Rails can match this with the Caley 812, then we Scottish based enthusiasts are in for a good 18 months.... Don't forget TMC's NER/LNER/BR G5 0-4-4T, which ran to Kelso, a noble Scottish town, and also Duns, calling at Reston. These may be outside your sphere of operation - they almost certainly are - but they are still in Scotland! John Storey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted August 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2018 Now that we've seen the J36 in decorated form in today's Engine Shed, do Hornby have two firsts with this model: a. a snowplough included in the pack of a steam locomotive b. a representation at the rear of the cab roof of the crew protective tarpaulin, for use on inclement days? I'm impressed by the tender, which looks like a work of art in its own right. John Storey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
