Hornby Grand Central HST

[intercity112255]

Do the cab doors open? Do the fans on top move?

[ay76]

@intercity112255 On all the new Super detailed Hornby HST models, the cab doors open. Depending which version you go for, the fans do work (motorised car). These GC ones don't have the fans. See hornby's website & catalouge for more details.

Very nice video!!!

Please, tell me the model of your camera.

[ay76]

The camera is the Panasonic Lumnix DMC-FX3. Not sure if it's still made now. The other camera I use is the Nikon D90 DSLR.Cheers.

[gentarion]

really loving that livery m8, 5***** cheers

[ay76]

Yes it's a good livery, but I think on the real thing they are going to put a orange stripe on it, when they refurb them. cheers.

[Javelin395]

Fantastic! I can't wait to get mine (gonna be a 3 car version, so it can fit on the layout! lol

Thanks for sharing Iain! Really good! Well done!

[ay76]

Thank you, cheers.

[KBRAILVIDEOS]

A 3 car version has been spotted on the network, consisting of 43XXX + buffet + MK3 standard + buffet + 43XXX.

Was only a stock move, but something I am considering buying a second buffet coach for.

Talking of Buffet coaches, how do your windows look mate? one of mine has cracked already, think due to heat?

cheers

[ay76]

The windows were okay last time I looked, but will check my coaches. A 3 car that's what many of us space starved models need :-) Cool. Cheers.

[KBRAILVIDEOS]

Aren't you lucky to have 2 GC's running hehehe

5* Cheers

[ay76]

:-) heh heh heh!!

[ILOVEPLANES090]

good video. the grand Central is is one of the best models around in my opinion!

[ay76]

Does look very nice, & the detail is stunning. Cheers.

[ILOVEPLANES090]

If any of you are interested, Modelzone have an exclusive product from hornby. It is the class 465 British rail EMU

[FGW180101]

I'm getting one of these ASAP, thanks for the post. Ive had the cars for months tho...

[ay76]

Cool, check out the cab interior when you get yours, it's stunning.Cheers.

[bronzeonion]

bloody hell!!!!!!! you must be a millionaire. 2 sets of power cars! £120 pound a pair arnt they? and the coaches are £20 each!

[ay76]

The 4 coach GC is mine, the other one running with out coaches, is a friends. I'd love another one but can't afford it at the moment. I got the coaches for less than £20 each. Cheers.

[bronzeonion]

ah right, fair enough lol

[willandscabbers]

wow! thank you!

[ay76]

Will one of these be coming to you this Crimbo?? (Christmas). Next time your over here, see if you get time & see the real thing on the East Coast Main Line. Cheers.

[joeman747]

i bet that Kyle was happy :D

nice video

5*

[ay76]

Yes just a bit. Ask him to show you the 60 on his camera next time you see him. Cheers.

[shandy957]

I hope Hornby release the HST PC's in XC and EMT liveries next year!

[ay76]

I know on their site their asking for suggestions for future models. I think they will given time, cheers.

[SilsdenCougar]

I know what i would like now they have the mould for Buffer-fitted power cars. They could do versions in each livery power cars with buffers have carried.

[ay76]

Yes that's a dead cert, they'll do that.Wonder what version of livery they'll choose to do?? Cheers.

[branchlinedisaster]

well a few grand central power cars were last seen on the wcml in the old virgin livery, i only know this from some footage i saw and i instantly recognised the number

[ay76]

I remember seeing them run with the class 91's on the ECML back in the late 80's. Looked quite strange seeing a 91 at one end & a class 43 on the other. Suppose to of been very lively in the acceleration dept... wished i taken photo's of then back then :-( oh well.

Cheers.

[040train]

you must have spent thousands on your OO. I have forced myself to stop buying any more rolling stock now!!

[ay76]

If you add up over the last (nearly) 32 years i've been doing this hobby, it comes to.....er, lets just say a few pounds!! Cheers.
