Even if the B-sets are to the same high standard as the LNER dynamometer (minus the electrical issues!), £170/pair (£85/each) is veeeery steep....! Maybe I'm just out of touch....

And Hornby have announced an announcement. Possibly an open day at Margate for offended retailers to make their views known?

Hornby's 'announcement'...... R30283 BR, Coronation Class, 4-6-2, 46220 'Coronation' - Era 4 (Club Exclusive)

Can't say I'll be falling over people for that one personally....

How do feel about the LMS' first design of general merchandise open wagon, estimated price £33...

....

...My response is that it isn't an accident that nearly all of my stock is kit-built (Cambrian do one of the same prototype), and the only modern RTR I own is a couple of Oxford Rail brake vans and tank wagon.....

That said, I realise that kit-building isn't for everyone, but £30 for a fairly plain open......
