Sound 37s on the way, excellent, 37/7 to start but others will no doubt follow

New tooling 24t minerals

Re-run of the standard 4MT tank

Also some scenecraft- sorry to disapoint but no new toilet blocks if I recall correctly.

Not something for everyone of course but something for plenty

A nice mix of steam, modern and wagons. I'm so pleased to see sound fitted 37s at long last.

Happy to see the 37 get the sound upgrade.

I was half expecting the 4MT to return soon - probably closer to the Fairburn tank release to be honest. I was half surprised it didn't get a sound upgrade too and the preserved 80135 in BR Green didn't feature

still no 25/3 

the 37/7 and 24.5t wagons are good additions though

i may be tempted but i'll wait and see what they look like

Perhaps if Francis B and his pal do a TV series about restoring one we might get one?

I am thinking the 25/3 is possibly the biggest class of diesel not yet available in RTR DCC models now. Perhaps this is Farish's next target, would be amazed if any other manufacturer did it as its a whole new chassis for one class, whereas Farish will share it with the other rats

All pretty thin considering just a month to TINGS. No doubt I'll get some of those 24½ tonne minerals, although I think they've missed a trick in not doing a weathered 3 pack. After all, I keep being told I haven't got the minerals

There's always a chance of a new tooling announcement pre-TINGs but I'd accept less likely with 2 new toolings announced today. Maybe more 20 & 37 varieties?

It's all relative oo got one new retooling livery and a few reruns of rolling stock and some aren't half kicking off over on RMWEB.

I bet they are, 75 quid for a OO coach. Even more ludicrous than N prices.

But it's how things were in the old days - Hornby would have a yearly big reveal for one or two new items, nothing else but reliveries.

I understand that the yellow triangle on the 24.5Ts was to enable easy identification between them and the lower capacity 21Ts.

Does anyone have a date in respect of when the triangle started to be applied?

Well I am waiting for the new release Class 20.  I will sell on one of my greens and the blue, for the new versions with Scottish token exchange.  My layout Cromarty can be run from steam era BR through green diesel and up to earlyish blue.  And there is a green 2 car 101 with whiskers which I fancy (for when operating in the green diesel era).  It will go alongside the one with small yellow panels.  I don't need any more mineral wagons.  For the 24T I have a couple of Dapols.  My two Standard 264Ts are fine.  I have all the 37s I need.

Very pleased that the original purchase price plus the additional cost to have @Ensign Elliott weather and renumber my two 4MT tanks from the original 2016 run to late crest Southern region locomotives is still less than the discounted cost of the 2026 run. By quite a long way.
