Hornby revises Mk 4 plans
Hornby has revised the release schedule for its forthcoming range of newly-tooled ‘OO’ gauge BR Mk 4 carriages, with changes to its planned models in BR InterCity and GNER liveries.
The manufacturer is reducing the number of InterCity liveried Mk 4s from nine to eight, while the later nine-car GNER liveried set will now appear in post-Mallard refurbished form, rather than the previously announced earlier condition.
As a result, one InterCity liveried Mk 4 Open Standard (TSO) (R40156C) is to be removed from the release schedule, along with one GNER liveried Mk 4 TSO (R40166C). For the refurbished GNER liveried set, a Mk 4 First Open with accessible toilet (R40164) has been added, together with a Mk 4 Standard Buffet/Kitchen (R40146) which will replace the previously planned First Class example.
These revisions have resulted in some changes to the coach letters (see the accompanying table below for the full schedule).
Prices are set at £36.99 for each carriage and £69.99 for the Mk 4 DVTs. Delivery is expected towards the end of 2021.
