The UK's largest gathering of model railways, manufacturers, retailers, trade stands, demonstrators and societies took place on November 23-24. Howard Smith gives an oversight on what you might have missed...

The Warley National 2019 show was busy, the atmosphere brimming with excitement as new announcements were made from manufacturers and retailers alike. With many sample products on display and new announcements made, it can be difficult to remember who's producing what and when it's arriving - even if you went to the show! Here's a roundup...

Hornby

The manufacturer unveiled plans for five more liveries for its Class 66, ahead of its full 2020 product announcement on January 6. New liveries include:

(R3922) G&W/Freightliner 66623

Hornby Class 66

From its International brand, a manually-operated container loading crane from the Lima range was on-show, which retails with two HO scale containers. Partial assembly is required and it can be adapted to handle OO scale containers. Also seen on its stand was a model of the German railgun 'The Leopold', now re-introduced under the Rivarossi umbrella. See more in our video here.
