Coming in the fourth quarter of this year is model 22018 of the Prussian T3 from Trix. This looks to be a good one and will be accompanied by the release of matching coaches Trix model 23354.
These are both one time series Exclusive models for 2006.

The locomotive has a miniature can motor in the boiler. The locomotive looks as the prototype did in Era I. The frame and boiler are made of die-cast metal. The locomotive has a 21-pin connector for digital decoders. 3 axles powered. 1 traction tire. A 66839 digital decoder can be retrofitted into the locomotive. The headlights are LED's, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has detailed running gear with a representation of the Allan valve gear. There is a clear view through the engineer's cab. The locomotive has many separately applied details. It looks as the prototype did in Era 1 with older style buffers and petroleum oil lanterns. The locomotive has NEM coupler pockets. Length over the buffers 99 mm / 3-7/8".

Why doesn't Hornby make locomotives like these? There are so many beautiful British prototypes to choose from.

That's probably true but what about the subject matter? I was thinking of earlier steam of which England has many examples. Couldn't that be done at a lower price point?
QUOTE Was that intended to be funny?

Yes it was ... lighten up, chill.
