PICTURES - Hornby class 56 newly tooling

My initial thought when seeing these images was they've used the old one and messed about with it for the website. Only when you see the old and new ones side by side (or in seperate windows) can you see the differences in more detail. I'd be more convinced with some proper photo's rather than a bit of CGI wizardry though. That's got to be one up for Bachmann as they usually have some pictures of work in progress.

The order form for the fastline 56 is now available:

Oooh, Those look very nice BUT that bogie looks very chunky still ...

Will these be out by Warley do you think or is it going to be early 2008 ?

I will certainly buy the romanian built one in blue and might even be tempted by the REX one even though that isn't my era

The bogies look odd, and I agree with PaulRhB that it looks like a CGI lash up. Not sure it really helps stoke up interest? Still, the final model will be superb if it's as good as the class 60.
