This hobby is just getting ridiculously expensive. It's almost as if it's trying to kill itself off on purpose, by making it prohibitive for anyone but the wealthy with lots of disposable income to even consider working with current models.
I’ve got an Accurascale 37 on pre order which thankfully I’ve payed for. But just Cancelled my preorder of the Cavalex Class 60. Just under £300 I couldn’t justify it try as I might 😫. My wife is very accepting of my hobby but even she has her breaking points
Yes, a shame but there must be people who are willing and able to spend that kind of money otherwise they wouldn’t be priced like that. But when I see wagons at £30/£40 it just seems crazy to me. Fortunately I’ve got all my old locos and rolling stock from the 60’s - 80’s so I’ll just do what I’ve always done and upgrade them with added detail as we always used to do back in the day. When you can get a die cast Hornby Dublo 2 rail loco for between £20-£80 it seems a bit mad spending £200+ Can you really see all that detail when it’s running on the layout?
My tip to help combat the increasing costs of the hobby is to model a specific area rather than generally just collecting "nice looking" models. I haven't bought a brand new loco for over a year (have bought some nearly new 02s and terriers). I wont be buying any more new locos until Rapidos' E1s come out.
I think my most anticipated loco is still the GER S56. There’s just something about Great Eastern locos that’s just so nice, be it the blue livery or the unique designs. Curious to see how the final model will turn out next year.
That NCB maroon 15xx is a pretty handsome machine! Might have to consider importing one. Speaking of Rapido, though; my favorite bit of model news from this month, if you can call it news, was the video they shared of a running sample of the Jones Goods. Unbelievably excited for my favorite pre-grouping design to be available in OO!
I have a Rapido 1500 on order and I can’t wait to compare it with my Ks kit version that I built yonks ago, also DCC fitted now. Did you know that they never ran with the GWR green livery as they never got into production till after BR took over in 1948 ! Regards from Ron 🚂🚂
Let's hope Hornby keep going with the TT:120 range as collecting in this scale will not gobble up space in your loft as fast as OO gauge! I had wanted a Class 50 in OO, but never got around to buying one. This TT offering looks tempting. But as always, the price may not be as inviting! Thanks for uploading
Personally I have decided to draw a line in my model railway purchases. Prices are simply prohibitive! Hornby and Bachmann are having a laugh expecting people to pay such exorbitant sums for their products in the current economic climate. The “exclusives” from Rails of Sheffield strike me as particularly expensive. They may look good, but even though I am able to afford them, I simply cannot bring myself to spend such money on my hobby. I think the bubble is likely to burst at some point. Hornby are particularly at risk in my view. They have just bought a stake in Warlord Games a well known and successful wargaming company which strikes me as well outside their comfort zone. I appreciate they own Airfix, but Warlord are a wargaming miniature figures and vehicles company. This on top of the TT 120 project, which is still in its infancy seems very ambitious. Interesting times ahead. Thanks for the comprehensive update Sam.
I’ve got the nuclear flasks. Really detailed models. I’m really happy with them. Don’t forget to buy two batteries if you get them though (for the tail light…it’s a magic wand job) as I presumed they’d come with the wagons. Accurascale sell the exact ones for a couple of quid.
Wonderful and always most intriguing Sam. We were discussing here at home lately about model manufacturers and colour matching according to prototype. None of them are doing a superb job actually and they should A: match paint and sheen precisely to whatever builds, rebuilds or reworks of the prototype chosen, and B: set a standard within the model train industry based on RAL, pantone or whatever... Work to be done there we thought. Cheerio.
Thanks Linda - yeah it's a very complex issue, particularly with the older locos - there was a lot of variation in real life which complicates things even more! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam - Enjoyed the July reviews. I was looking forward to the news that the original HST was going to be a future release and even tuned in to watch the video on the announcement day. After viewing, I was exceptionally disappointed to see that only the preserved power car was going to be produced. I contacted Rails by email immediately after the video to ask if the intended to produce both power cars as a set. They responded by stating 'we currently have no plans to do so'. I then contacted Locomotion Models by email not once but twice and, at the time of writing this, have had no response. This future release is a case of half a job and a missed opportunity to 'fill the gap' on an absolutely iconic part of modern railway history.
0:48 I actually can't wait for those to come in stock Sam, I might go for the GWR green one or the NCB Maroon one. We'll just have to wait and see. Cheers Jasper & Willow
Hi Sam, I got one of the Rapido 20t TOAD brake vans today, in one of the GWR liveries, .it's very nice 👌 comes with full interior, and a removable roof. Runs lovely, it should do very well on Gordon's Hill test😂.
The two TT gauge diesels look very good- as the 66 will need to be if it is also to be sold to the Continent under the Arnold banner. Keep up the good work.
I still can't work out why the Loroit Y models are so expensive, when compared with the new Rapido Toad which, while expensive, is a far more substantial model. I bought the Toad and quite happy.
I'm waiting for my Accurascale class 37 in BR green, and two 15xx : the GWR one and the BR all black. Hope I'll get them soon ! For the Hornby 2MT, I wonder if, finally, I will be buying one in BR 5 livery or not. If the motor is not their usual piece of junk, and if they manage to have a quality control on the assembly line instead of in the customer's homes at unboxing, this one seems to be an interesting buy. A comparison with the Dapol GWR Mogul would be interesting.
That sounds good Oliver - hopefully you enjoy those! Hopefully they will be good quality - they'll need to be, otherwise it'll be a problem for those! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video here Sam, nice to see the Rails/Bachmann HST covered, that is one I’m definitely thinking about getting as I really like the prototype locomotives, a couple of models that I do have on the way are an EFE class 58 to go with my recent rake of HAA hoppers that I bought and hopefully soon I will get my Fell from KR models where there have been improvements made.
Great video Sam! Way to keep us up to date on what’s going on. I actually preordered the Rapido Lion last week, rather excited to get my first Era 1 loco.
of the two Hornby TT gauge Diesels, a little correction (erm, I think), they aren't photos IMO, they are just computer renderings of the CAD drawings, these can be made to look much more exact and detailed than a real 3D object, trust me - I'm an architect.
Interesting - about pricing, what does it cost to produce a model once the tooling is made. Be Interesting to see how the prices are determined and whether buyers are being ripped off.
Wow the new p2 loco model is coming along from Hornby, I wish I have a p2 loco model from Hornby but I have a feeling it might be very expensive, super great the model railway news Sam’s trains
Not much this month. In case anyone's interested, Montana Hoeren (Head of Brand) is leaving Hornby too, following Simon Kohler's departure. Whether their departures will affect Hornby for the good or bad is an open question.
I saw the Accurascale 66's when they were first published on their socials and is there not a 9th one? a hidden livery in the photo they've not made available yet?
Two things: 1) I pretty sure that the pack only includes 1 Class 41 as only one powercar and 4 coaches have been preserved from the original set. 2) Rapido’s Lion (Thunderbolt) must be brilliant seeing that they are getting pushed back. Was due for release this month but have now been pushed back to September
Yeah that's true - I just wanted to clarify for people who may assume it's a pack. Ahh I hadn't seen that about the Lion packs - hopefully they're worth the wait! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What am I most excited about? Ice cream after dinner tonight ! ! Oopsie - you were referring to the video. The radio active waste cars, for sure. BTW - do they included a geiger counter? Thanks again for the news - I've trained my sights on it.
I kinda like the engineers yellow toad brake van, very construction/maintenance/engineer like, I kinda want one. YES! P2’S! BRING IT ON, BABY! Awesome video, I might see if I can get some of these lovely items and review them here in America. See you around town Sam!
The 15xx is the most exciting, though I'll likely wait for reviews to make sure it's worth the price. The 2MT is of some interest as well, also pending reviews.
Re the prototype HST power car, yes it is JUST the one. I saw the Rails of Sheffield/Hornby Magazine/ Bachmann Promotion video. A nice model by the looks of things. But as a single unit it's not something that I would buy. As well as the other power car you need the correct coaches, and nobody makes them 😢😮
Hi Sam. TT:120 Classes 50 & 66. I really like the look of the Class 50. If I were cynical, I might wonder whether this improvement might be related to the departure of Simon Kohler; or is this just a natural evolution of things at Hornby? While not covered in your video, I notice that Hornby is now supplying other retailers with TT:120 products against all the predictions of those nay-sayers (easy to say, I know, but I predicted [to myself, admittedly] that this would happen).
Sorry that this is not specifically about the Model Railway News which is always great but can you please tell me what the gradient is for Gordon's Hill, as I am planning a layout where I can't avoid gradients and online help is OK but I would like to know about Gordon's Hill as we see it's impact on your excellent reviews.
I do find the price of the Hornby BR 2MT is a complete rip off. It was a model which was reasonable before. Then gone well over £200 for pretty much a mogul design loco. I did have an eye on one years ago. But nearly £200 for it. I kinda just gave up on it. So i got a second hand ivatt 2mt instead.
Right 2 things. 1: This is the BR Standard 2MT not the Ivatt version. 2: Yes the model will be entirely made of die-cast (apart from the tender...maybe?). We saw the EP samples of these 2 years ago
I think bachmanns n scale thomas range proved that small locos can be just as good as oo scale and size issue mean nothing for a model, and that you can put high quality features into a mechanism, thomas is around the size of a £1 coin yet has a cordless motor, a flywheel and proper bearings, and now it's carrying out to TT scale, either that or hornby us trying to give a fresh start for TT scale
GWR class 15xx. That's a new one for me. Looking it up. Edit....I saw this on Google the other day. Wikipedia. For moment I thought it was the lima 94xx upgrade.
Didn't know hornby was doing another P2, that's really exciting! 2-8-2s are my all time favorite type of steam locomotive. BTW, have you ever tried bachmann's narrow gauge Thomas and Friends range? They're ho scale locomotives that run on n scale track! You can find them for really cheap as well.
Yes these trains are nice but honesty the prices are getting way too high I can see them heading towards £300- £400 in the near future. There is no way a child or a family can afford this even at the best of time let alone now. I'm guessing the manufacturers are aiming at millionaires only how this going to work in the long term?
For your next birthday, you should tell Chloe's friend to prepare a penguin cake, then go back to that Chinese restaurant with Chloe to recreate that fateful day.
“I am a climate hero” Printed on the side of a diesel loco that replaced electrics. Either someone has a great sense of humour or no self awareness. Oh, and you missed Hornby upping the price on some of its TT range. The A1s and A3s have gone from £145 to over £170 pounds.
This hobby is just getting ridiculously expensive. It's almost as if it's trying to kill itself off on purpose, by making it prohibitive for anyone but the wealthy with lots of disposable income to even consider working with current models.
What the frick big model railway companies?!
I’ve got an Accurascale 37 on pre order which thankfully I’ve payed for. But just Cancelled my preorder of the Cavalex Class 60. Just under £300 I couldn’t justify it try as I might 😫.
My wife is very accepting of my hobby but even she has her breaking points
Yes, a shame but there must be people who are willing and able to spend that kind of money otherwise they wouldn’t be priced like that. But when I see wagons at £30/£40 it just seems crazy to me.

I do think the Accurascale wagon packs are good value for money though with the amount of detail on them. 3 for £69.95 or around that
Got it in one
My tip to help combat the increasing costs of the hobby is to model a specific area rather than generally just collecting "nice looking" models. I haven't bought a brand new loco for over a year (have bought some nearly new 02s and terriers). I wont be buying any more new locos until Rapidos' E1s come out.
Awesome video but you didnt mention the new dapol 88 and the fact Montana has now left hornby as well!
oh when did Montana leave?
Idk, saw it on Hornby Forum
oh ok
Yeah, sadly those things happened after this was written/filmed!

Hi Sam.
Thanks for the excellent update on the new and up-and-coming releases. Keep them coming.

Do you happen to know Sam if the new hornby coronation coaches are still on schedule for release this Autumn?
I saw the Accurascale 66's when they were first published on their socials and is there not a 9th one? a hidden livery in the photo they've not made available yet?
Still no mention from Hornby about the awaited Turbomotive. I hope they are not throwing everything at TT and forgetting the core customers
The Turbomotive is due this autumn according to the website which can be misleading at times and changes often so take it with a grain of salt.
@@18EStudios I’d say a shovel full of salt😂😂
If you have a end to end layout do you need a wire from one end to the other to complete the circuit or can you just run trains like normal?

No. Due in September apparently

Thanks Justin! :D
Please Hornby, give an old Ivatt 2MT fanatic something to cheer about! Let the new model be a good one 😑🙏
Hornby's 2MT is the BR Standard version not the Ivatt one which is made by Bachmann currently
I can't wait to see the Prince Of Wales P2 to come out.
Same here, we’ve been waiting for an absolute eternity for that loco to come out of the shop!
I do find the price of the Hornby BR 2MT is a complete rip off. It was a model which was reasonable before. Then gone well over £200 for pretty much a mogul design loco. I did have an eye on one years ago. But nearly £200 for it. I kinda just gave up on it. So i got a second hand ivatt 2mt instead.
I don't like to call rip off until I've tried the model - but it certainly seems very expensive!

I just hope the 2mt has a diecast boiler or footplate. otherwise, why not get the bachmann one?
Right 2 things.
1: This is the BR Standard 2MT not the Ivatt version.
