Doesn't that just show how little new stuff we get in N gauge?!

3 locos, of which two are MUs, no coaches and 4 wagons, the IZAs were basically out a year ago too (a hair over IIRC). There's more in the O gauge categories.

Still, for next year we should at least have the 50, 92, 56XX(?) plus KFA, HOA, IPA and VEA no doubt among others!

Not worth the bother no N gauge layout and not much N gauge at all .And I doubt that next year will have any of the exiting things coming out anyway ,N gauge allways seems neglected in these sort of things ,There are lots of really good N gauge layouts around Ambleton Vale ,and James  St are among the many .

The smaller the numbers of N gauge voters the less N gauge will appear though.
Of course, it is Hornby and they've only made the 1 item.

Hornby magazine has nothing to do with the manufacturer, other than using their name under licence IIRC.

I agree that if they don't get any N gauge respondents they just won't bother.

What Nobby and Nick said - if people don't participate from the N gauge community then we become irrelevant to Hornby magazine....

And it only takes a minute to complete the form. Hornby magazine is certainly geared towards the larger gauges, I can't think of many N layouts featured recently - Melbury earlier in the year and Middle Elmton off the top of my head, but that's was maybe 2 years ago. But it does have some good articles and their Train Formations guide every few months is handy, though often an interesting rake can't be completed in N because a piece of rolling stock it's not available (yet)
