New Hornby Class 56 breaks cover

QUOTE (dbclass50)Maybe the 56 should have been at Warley but why Warley & not elseware ? Since Warley I have spoken to a number of traders who did attend & a few of them are of the opinion that Warley is now past it's prime & is getting to be too much trouble for what they actually get out of it.

Interesting. the trader i am involved with has sort of agreed that if we have something special to show or a nice new release then we will do the show again. but we did about the same trade wise as we do at scaleforum and chatham at conciderably less expense.
I dont think its going to becoem a 'normal' show for us.

Well. comming back on topic, i thought the loco looked very good. although its really not my kind of thing. its far too ugly for my layout!
I am assuming it has the same mech as the other recent hornby releases??

Hello Gary

I dont think they would ever sneak it in under the radar deliberatly. they run the serious risk of their new product not making a big enough impact.

I must also admit to being completly underwhelmed buy the prorotype. to mee its another box on wheels and this one is too close to the better looking 47.
