It's true! Official from Hornby, who own Pocher! A 'new' kit is being announced at Nuremberg at the end of January. Check out the link on the Hornby Spain website... http://www.hornby.es/
Click the little Pocher logo at the top right of the page! Roy.

 About 5-6 years ago I had a nicely built (if I say so myself) Pocher Alfa Monza. I was a bit 'tight for money' due to a previous marriage break up and sold it on E-Bay. I think I got around £50...... Ouch. Roy

How is it the same post when your link is to Hornby Espania  The official launch is the 30th Jan, so likely no news until then..

[quote=Tomick] How is it the same post when your link is to Hornby Espania quote] Yes - my link is to the Espania page, but my message also goes on to say 'click the Pocher link' etc.... which takes you to the same thing you posted. No worries though - I just hope they release something affordable.... Roy.

I don't mind a re-boot, as long as it's one of the 'originals' with proper wire wheels - not the later ones with plastic wheels (which sadly, is more likely due to costs)
If it's something completely new, let's hope it's still 'Pocher' level - ie: THOUSANDS of parts....... (but not mental-money)
Roy
