I refer to Hornby's collectors club model, a Pullman liveried Class 06.

Why produce a fantasy livery? I would have thought there were plenty prototypical models for the big H to model without making a 'toy' livery.

Are they under the assumption that one of the Pullman sections was pulled by a camera shy Class 06??

This annoys me, if they want to make a toy for the collectors club then lets have a Thomas the tank.

Footnote: I was on Ebay one of the said 06's for sale at more than the cost of joining the Hornby club,

That's fair enough but my point is why not make it a more desirable model than one step away from a toy? Why not an '06 number that has not been released or a weathered version of the model?

(the fact its not a good runner may be a clue, shifting stock they know wouldn't sell well, or is that too cynical?)
