On that basis it does not make sense to re engineer the LIMA one this year which is why the old Hornby one has reappeared! As a cover Hornby tell us the LIMA tool is imperfect. Strange how they only found that out when they came to use it. When buying assets of a company- you typically document them and appraise their condition on purchase.
Given that Hornby have gone to some lengths to model the various front ends of a 56 , I don't think the provision of more than one type of HST power car will be a problem ie one with buffers.
Could it also be that Hornby will launch a DCC sound system at the same time to further co-erce people into their Digital system? HST perfect model to do this with.

I saw one around Nottingham so must have been the same one. That's a power car and carriage for me!! The doors are a very similar grey to the Midland Mainline ones. I hope they aren't going to move the whole fleet this way, defeats the object of them running on rails!!
