Hello there.
I am sure the story about why its happening is utter nonsence. it would he his head on the line if it didnt sell well. also it just dosent work like that. the proposal for a new loco would have to be presented to the board. often with a hand built mockup to use as a prop. sometimes there mockups have survived for loco's that didnt make it into final production.
The Hornby T9 has not been confirmed buy anybody yet. there are strong rumors but thats all so far. the for argument is that its a pretty medium sized loco that would look good on alot of layouts. the 4-4-0 chassis basically exists unter the M7 and frankly its about time we had a nice 4-4-0
The against arguments are basically that its yet another southern loco. (not that i mind!!)
Hornby dont confirm their list untill midnight new years eve.
On another forum a newcommer has also suggested this. this kind of "my mates best friend's tennis partner's boyfreinds brother said...." can get forums into trouble.
