Hornby made nine different circus cars. Two flatbeds, three individual box cars, cattle car, and a boxcar 3-pack. There was also a Percy circus set with four box cars, but I don't know if those four are different from the ones available outside of the set.
The cream tanker, raspberry tanker, and ice cream van came in a 3-pack, and there was a 3-pack with scruffey, a scrap car, and a brake van which were also sold individually. Hornby also did a red truck and blue truck for their Thomas line.
What I love about this is that you have so many options of what Percy male cars do you want to choose? Do you want more accurate RWS male cars? Or more TV series accurate mail cars?
Yes
Forgot how fast Hornby Percy was
I used to have two of these Bachmann "Sodor Mail"-vans, but I did trade them in for the other ones with the Logo on them. I did not really realise how rare they are, but the Logo-ones do make more sense for me, as my non-Sodor-engines pull them too.
I also have the green one and none of the Hornby ones, even though I wanted to get that Hornby Percy & the Mail-set.
I'd be surprised if there aren't some Postman Pat train stuff. If there are things for Batman '66 and Star Trek, there should be at least a boxcar with his picture and logo printed on.
I never a hornby Percy that fast
I've never ssen this version of the mail van before
Wait a second...I just noticed something.....
How do you stop those trains in a specific spot without using DCC? You stopped Hornby Percy before it crashed into Bachmann Percy, but how? Is there like a manual shut-off that you can turn on and off for specific parts of your layout that you can just turn off at will? Like I understand the switches, dead spots until the points are flipped in their direction to complete the circuit....but how do you just STOP mainline traffic like that?
I was thinking about this today coincidentally. I haven’t done a video in a while featuring multi train operation on my DC layout. Layout is in sections that are numbered. I get the mainline sections (1 and 4) mixed up sometimes. But as long as I know what block a train is in I can stop one while another continues to run. I want to make a new layout and it would probably still have block control since I have so many non DCC locomotives. It’s always easy to switch your DCC.
I'm going to go out and say that is probably the worst piece of Hornby Thomas rolling stock thats ever been made because Hornby just reused the molding from their utility vans to make a mail car like that.
