JSpencer Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It is also possible that there are TWO (or more) new Mk 1 coach types on the way. So far some hints are BSO -> not done in RTR to my knowledge and an FO -> not down since Replica did them. So some additional Mk 1 coach types??

RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hello everyone Graham 'Muz' has used the terms 'foxtrot oscar' and (sic) 'Fairly Obvious' in recent postings (but with my bold addition).

Western Scottish Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I certainly hope they are expanding the Mk1 range. The diversification of types would also increase attractiveness of their existing range. Hope we get blue /grey ones this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The decision Hornby have to make, if they are going to produce further Mk 1 types, is do they make them to the more simplified style of the other Mk 1s in the range, designed in the 'design clever' period, or do they go for the more detailed style that they returned to with coaches produced since 2015.

I think the Mk1s are tainted by "Design Clever". I've found them more than adequate for my needs and would prefer a £30 coach compared to a £45-£50 one .

davidw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 TBH, I'd welcome a BSO before an FO. I can't believe we'll get both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptic Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Come on, it's a BR standard First Open…. … but that may not be what they are going to produce, of course! I'd a thought Hornby had caught a cold by producing too many 1st. Class only coaches. Just look at the number of recent Maunsell FKs still unsold.

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2016 If Hornby do make a BSO and its to their budget standards, I will be pleased and annoyed at the same time. While not a hard thing to do per say, fitting a CCM to match that fitted to my Bachmann MK1s and adding the external water filler pipes is something I am not looking forward to undertaking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It doesn't really look like a Mk1 design, to my eye. The uprights are too prominent for this type - here is a link to a Mk 1 interior. http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pic2/mk1/3064_int_neilg_6nov07h.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2016 For me it's a Mk1 FO. Hornby also posted on Facebook today a photo of the H Class saying they photographed something else while on the Bluebell and behind the H Class is, guess what, a Mk1 FO! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Hroth Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 All I can say is that the legroom appears to be abysmal, though that goes for the modern prototype experience too...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The same thought occurred to me but If legroom were to be provided under the tables then, as bigherb says, they wouldn’t come out of the mould. The thought of the cost of fitting separate table tops reconciles me to the brutal surgery of passengers. To follow on from Hroths’s point, passengers were provided with sufficient legroom. Customers are not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes have to admit Foxtrot Oscar means something entirely different to me! I'm hoping for a BSO , and hope we may have both in a range expansion. Probably makes sense lots of colour schemes , I think this would be a goer for Hornby. Is it an FK that Bachmann do? Is there any outward difference in body style between an FK and FO? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted October 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'd a thought Hornby had caught a cold by producing too many 1st. Class only coaches. Just look at the number of recent Maunsell FKs still unsold. Hello Ceptic The Mk1 FO is a 'different animal' compared with a Maunsell FK. The Mk1 has - arguably - much more potential, both for the latter-day modeller and manufacturer. Brian Macdermott 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
