The trains aren't as accurate as Bachmann but the buildings are amazing. Cool!

They do look better and pull better than Bachmann's though!

They are £20 for 1. Nice, but pricey...

Well it is obvious Stanley will surface. You need an engine for a shed...

Well thats the funny thing, Stanley's shed with no Stanley's could be easerly be done with the Hornby Pug. If it wasnt for Jack i wouldnt even know who Stanley's is!

Also the Great Discovery Set, I have no idea what will be in it. Is it a episode I havent seen? Although a weatherd Thomas. What has the modeling world got to  :D

Another thing. Ben's Books, Great Waterton Station, Waterton Butchers. Were on earth did these come from?!

So as for whish list. Oooooh. New HST's *draul* Anyone fancy a super detailed way over-priced Pip an Emma?  :D

Also a bit of facts on Grand Central Trains. Brand new Train company with a image based on New York Central Rail Road.

But...

BOT

or should i say...

bot  :D

No pug. We need a Stanley. He's in a new special (like CAE) and he has his own shed. Ie, the new engine shed. Weathered Thomas = I don't know, but we will find out soon.

So is Thomas and the Great Discovery the name of this film? So the set might have Stanley in it?

On first appearances no, but there are gaps in the range to be filled by him.

Oh and can you explain my Waterton confusion? How did it come from no where. Or let me quess...

Thomas needs help with building a new town. So an new engine called stanley comes to help.

Most storylines go like that.  :D

Old town discovered, (Silent Hill?), fat controller restores it, brings in new engine, job gets done, more merchandise for HiT to sell.

I personally really like how Hornby made their Thomas Dirty and gave him a different facial expression.  To bad the face can't be removable, but all the same the set looks really awesome. :) 

I am not sure if I will get anything from the Hornby range this year, but if I get anything it will definitely be some of the buildings.  They look fantastic! ;)

I'm actually pleased that Hornby has made Spencer, it has been months since he was considered for production since Edward and Mavis arrived, now, hopefully next year, we might see Murdoch and a few other characters, though keeping in mind that not all characters featured in the RWS will be made, but Donald and Douglas are being considered, and will arrive in a few years time once Hornby makes a RTR model of the Caledonian Railway Class '828' 0-6-0.
