Hornby announce full 2016 range and the addition of a SR cattle trucks Dias 1529/30 further updated 28/04/16

As has been evident over the last 12 months Hornby have changed the way in which they are announcing new produces to market, moving away from a single announcement around Christmas time, and have already made headline announcements of some of the new models for 2016 during the year. These from a Southern Railway perspective had included Bullied Merchant Navy Pacifics in original air smoothed form (February 2015) and ex LSWR 58ft non corridor coaching stock (June 2015). Hornby have today (26/11) just prior to this weekends Warley National Model Railway exhibition announced here the full details of their entire 2016 which has included a number of previously unannounced items including a SR diagrams 1529 and 1530 cattle trucks from new tooling, the latter being the Bulleid version with plywood ends [Edit 07/01/16. Hornby have now further clarified and confirmed these releases as being two different running numbers in SR livery for the Dia 1530 style and the Dia 1529 style will be two different running in BR livery, with the liveries reversed for 2017]&nbsp The aim of this post is to round up the announcements that are of a Southern Railway / Southern Region interest, although some details are still to be confirmed and I will update this post once further information becomes available. Also two new models will be further announced at 1.30pm direct from the Warley National Model Railway exhibition this Saturday.
