Hornby LMS Brake Van R6079U

I would think that it is a unboxed item from a set, I dont know for sure and cant find it on hattons Simon G

Last one now gone, (most probably due to me posting here) and now unobtainable. Really wondering why I had never found it before. Dobbin

The reason why I did the latest search was because todays MREmag mentioned this

as a new release and it contains one. R6079U appears to be a boxed item. Dobbin

British model trains catalogue shows R6079 has been released in various guises and numbers (with A and B suffixes) from 1999 to 2004. May be others - I only have the 2004 copy. So would expect there to be a few around

2nd hand. Modelfair appears to have one but no price mentioned. Its an ex-airfix model so theres probably a few under the GMR brand as well.

Cheers, Simon

That site appears to be rather dead, as one of the other pages refers to the Hornby 2006(!) cataloguen ow being available, and VAT of 17.5%.

Is back in stock at Hattons,

have been split from box sets, hence why it is not in the catalogue. It is narrower, lower and longer than Hornby's previous model. idea as to which is more likely to be more prototypical, or are none of them right.

Unfortunately you would need more dimensions to see if either are incorrect. The hattons one is a Stanier type built in 1947/1948 that should be 24' over headstocks. Not sure if that was ever in grey, would have to check when bauxite introduced. Chuffers one looks similar and probably should be same length, but cant see the number on it.

Hope that gives a start !

cheers, Simon

The latter appears to be the original version tooled by Tr-ang or Tri-ang/Hornby, whilst the example for sale at Hattons is the more accurate ex-Airfix model.

John.

Thanks for that.
