Had an email from hornby today confirming that theyve dropped the black and gold cornish liveried wessex 153. I find this an amazing turnaround as this was a popular scheme with the truro cathedral graphics and gold celtic knotwork on the bodysides and they covered a wide area. I know quite a few modellers awaiting this particular model (i just wanted one seeing as ive spent half my life workin on the darn things). so on behalf of the penzance, par, exeter and bristol traincrew that wanted one, the devon and cornwall rail partnership who wanted some and the the west country modellers and even holiday makers that would have like a model of the train that took them to looe, newquay, falmouth, penzace etc, thanks hornby for dashing our hopes!!!
