<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Even Worse John, its yet another *&^&% Southern Loco!
When are Hornby going to realise that there's nothing of merit worth modelling in any railway where the Up Line points North
Time for hornby to Look North without looking east for a change and produce an 0-6-0 Kirtley with cast boiler and outside frames of todays finely detailed plastic, a decent loco drive LMS/Midland Compound & LMS 2p plus a lowly 0-6-0 2F. 3F & 4F & for good measure from the other side.... 10000/10001, the LMS Twins by Bachmann.

PS - only joking - sort of.... I really am not enamoured of Hornbys choices right now but the T9 is a really interesting loco with a lot of character and I think it will do very very well if its up to standard....which looks assured from the images!
We SR modellers are taking over ... first the hobby, then ... THE WORLD!!!
Wot's worth modelling norf of the Thames?? It's wilderness out there, once you get norf of the Watford Gap!
Seriously, that T9 does look nice.
It must be the Great Western's turn from Hornby next year, though.
