RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted October 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2022 10th October was the date of the Rainhill Trials in 1829, so it's either the weird horse powered roller skate on rails, or a brand new Class 86/2 painted up in the Liverpool and Manchester ice cream van livery as "Novelty" and "Sans Pareil". I wonder if they will attempt to repair their relationship with their retailers first. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly one of the days the trials were held on, but I've been unable to work out exactly what happened on the 10th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will consist of a TTS sound chip and a linked smoke generator, using the same smoke generating technique as vaping. If you’ve ever sat behind a Corsa at traffic lights then you’ll know just how much smoke vaping can produce. They will call it “TTSteam” or something like that. It will retail for around the £99 price point although knowing Hornby it might be nearer £129. myself and another bloke where chatting to SK about this, there are no plans for a separate steam generator. he highlighted many issues with loco's going back to Hornby after end users had truley messed up fitting tts chips. He said far too many variations in loco's, places to fit it etc. His words where, let it settle down first pre-fitted, let the product mature and then they will see. i wonder if its a new class 50, surely they wont want to lose that as well as well the 56 and 31.

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted October 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2022 I suspect a re-livery is more likely than new tooling, but we'll see. It may be something non-rolling stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
