A Hornby EMU
Hornby are appealing for your help with one of their proposals for 2006. In response to your requests they intend to model a Southern EMU but do not know which class will be the most popular. They feel that it should be of a post-Nationalisation design but not post-Privatisation. It needs to be something suited to Southern Region green with the possibility of easy modification it to produce other classes in years to come.
The class that attracts the most votes from different people stands the best chance of being chosen. Please keep any reasons for your choice VERY brief. Under the title 'Hornby EMU', send your suggestions to snipped-for-privacy@mremag.demon.co.uk and I will collate them and pass them on.
I really hope they stick with an earlier prototype and do something like a 2-EPB, for those of us with limited space. I'd understand them choosing a Mk.3 type (i.e. changing their mind about Southern green), but I'd personally consider an EPB over something more recent, or the
4-CEP or similar I'll expect will appear. (Sinking thought: 6-PUL.)
EMU aside (!), I was faintly disappointed, particularly with one of the new releases being duplication of another model. If the coaches aren't Staniers or the wagon not a 6-wheel milk tank, I'll probably cry...
I cleared my internet history, all temporary files and rebooted to avail. Friday's page was showing up until 4.00 this morning. At 11.00 when I next loaded the page it was Monday's. The machine and connection were left running all night. This isn't the first time it's happened.
