Last year Hornby and Eddie Stobart Promotions released a Class 47 in the Eddie Stobart livery. As a result of the success of this model, Hornby and Eddie Stobart Promotions have announced the future release (September 05) of an 0-4-0 Locomotive, Lomac and Load and Conflat and Container. Each piece will be a limited edition of 500 pieces and will be individually numbered. Also the locomotive will have a different number and name to that in the complete train set as will the wagons. As yet there is no confirmation on R.R.P, but expect the locomotive to retail for around £27 and each piece of rolling stock to be around £10. Due to limited stocks, Eddie Stobart are only making 200 pieces of each available to the model trade, and a small number of stockists have already placed firm orders with them for sizeable quantities of the limited numbers being released and are taking pre-orders now from customers.
