Hornby have today released the statement below regarding their proposed 'Trains on Film' train packs.

For several months there has been some speculation concerning the introduction of two Hornby train packs under the sub brand title of ‘Trains on Film’ which both featured, in one form or another the L&MR No.57 ‘Lion’ and associated rolling stock. The films concerned were ‘The Lady with a Lamp’ and ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’.
Hornby Hobbies Ltd. have decided to remove the two ‘Trains of Film’ packs from the Hornby 2022 product range and acknowledges and accept that Studiocanal own the licensing rights to the ‘Thunderbolt’ locomotive as depicted in the ‘Titfield Thunderbolt’ film as well as Dan Taylor’s grounded carriage body. Hornby also acknowledges and accepts that Studiocanal own the title rights to the films ‘Titfield Thunderbolt’ and ‘The Lady with a Lamp’.
Along with this, the Bedford Coach within the ‘Trains on Film’ category has also been cancelled.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Any customer pre-orders for sets R30093 and R30094 are now cancelled.

The official and licenced 'Titfield Thunderbolt' sets are available from Rapido Trains UK.
