Probably not. With a model aimed at collectors there is a limited market and TT120 is not, I reckon, at the moment seen as a collector market. Two lots of tooling costs more than one lot of tooling and a smaller scale model might hit sales of the HD branded model to the less well heeled collecting sorts. Better to concentrate on the high end, higher price/bigger profit margin, item I think. Hornby of course might see it differently. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, would the same apply to the forthcoming Coronation (plus Silver Jubilee and tourist stock basic tooling) where TT120 already offers the motive power?

ColinB Posted Sunday at 12:48 Share Posted Sunday at 12:48 4 hours ago, smr248 said: I might be in the minority but I quite like Sam's Trains. IMO though this video is not one of his better ones. A snapshot in time, some basic maths and ultimately misleading (I didn't watch the whole thing so I might have missed something, although I doubt it). He suggests that TT has affected the design of new OO products by Hornby, which might be true. Apparently, based on his criteria, Rapido are currently number 1!? He is just taking it to the logical conclusion. No company has an infinite supply of money for R & D, especially one that is not posting big profits. So if Hornby invest in TT120 they don't invest much in OO. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted Sunday at 13:58 Share Posted Sunday at 13:58 Taken at the Great Electric Train Show yesterday, with apologies for the poor quality images (taken on my phone through the glass) here are some pics of what I assume to be production versions of the TT120 J50. it looks a very competent little model indeed, albeit I didn't see one being run anywhere so can't comment on performance. As an aside, there were A3s/4s on sale at less than £100 at the show, but not everything was so heavily discounted. Roy 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've kept that under the radar - unless it gets a mention in one of the Peachy/MacTrains interviews that I haven't watched yet. I guess it is the Hornby KFA (we've seen some limited CAD shots of that) as opposed to the ex-Arnold Sffgmss ones that are also shown. There are two KFAs listed in the catalogue, one with a tanktainer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find the H info a bit confusing. Are they still even using "Phases"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that one of the official Hornby interview videos mentioned they were shifting away from the phases terminology. But the KFA wagons and the 9F, Castle, Class 37 and Class 47 were all part of the original ‘phase three’ if I recall correctly, so I feel it’s okay to keep using the term. 😀 It’s interesting that the press release specifically mentions the class 37 as part of the models being released over the ‘next few months’. Perhaps we will see it before the end of 2025? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be over the moon if it were a Merchant Navy or Hall or Grange... a Hymek or Warship would also be nice.
