Hornby have announced a Rail Blue one for this year...it's going to be 86
235 "Novelty". Not sure if it'll be plain blue or the special livery it carried in the late 70's / early 80's though.Stuart

Thanks, but as far as I can see,it's not "rail blue". it's the original "electic blue" carried pre-TOPS - sadly! There's an 86 about now which has been repainted into this "heritage" livery - probably the reason for the Hornby release.

Er no, the picture on their website clearly shows 86235 Novelty in "Swallow" Intercity livery.
86233/E3172 "Alstom Heritage" is in the electric blue livery.No 86's this year in rail blue, that have been announced so far... Djo
Searching for "86" on Hornby's site also brings up two Anglia liveried and one Virgin liveried 86.
