Steamport Southport Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 We were discussing things on a Peckett though so it's fair game. What I originally came on here for was that the H&P one is now showing for 12th of January. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. I'll have to make sure I don't spend all my money on other things. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2016 Just got that email too so it looks like that will have to be my New Year present to me and I shall have to buy myself something else for Christmas! Decisions, decisions. We were discussing things on a Peckett though so it's fair game. What I originally came on here for was that the H&P one is now showing for 12th of January.

Porcy Mane Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 can we have a separate flags thread for flaggy musings and leave this one to discussing Pecketts!!? Thanks for flagging that up! P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Quite right - flying the flag upside down is a pet hate of mine*. When I rule the country is will be a criminal offence I once had a big argument with one of the European government establishments in Brussels that had our flag upside down. They argued there was no right way so they were firmly put in their place. One hour later it was the right way up! Roy * along with calling it the Union Jack. Which constituency are you standing for? I’ll have to move so that I can vote for you. When you get the Flag Act passed, do you intend to sort out the railways? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Also available from the shop in Reading Museum. The first couple of years I held the Kenavon show we bought H&P biscuits from the museum and sold them at the show as we were raising funds for an abortive effort to restore HP1 (proceeds from the show now go to the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway Station Development Fund). (Edited for clarity as I realised it could be read that Reading Museum were selling the biscuits to raise money for the C&WR - which is definitely not the case!)

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted December 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Someone mentioned the song "Gotta pick a Peckett or two" so here are a few lines to that well known tune. Dare anyone add more? (Hornby) One two three W4s Up for grabs, Pre-orders. Better get some of those wonderful toys. You gotta pick a Peckett or two* You gotta pick a Peckett or two, boys You gotta pick a Peckett or two. (Boys - and girls) Fit a sound chip then we'll see If it will go "Choo choo!" Still waiting for mine...I'm dreaming of a BLUE Christmas.... [Edit : We'll have to wait even longer, now, with new due date....] * Edit - missed the line out first time round!

Also I feel like these manufactures are trying to make me broke, releasing all these models I want in such a sort space of time or some tempting offer appears! and Father Christmas now has me on the "NO TRAINS FOR CHRISTMAS" list.

As Hornby use Inter Link to deliver to both shop and website customers I would think that the models will be appearing in shops by the end of this week.

RMweb Gold Hroth Posted December 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here's hoping that they got enough H&P Pecketts for all the stockist pre-orders! After the past few weeks, I'd given up on both the Peckett and the B12 arriving before Christmas, so I ordered myself a consolation loco. Now it looks like I'm going to get at least two, and perhaps all three.... I wish they'd get organised! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it looks like I'm going to get at least two, and perhaps all three.... I wish they'd get organised! It would appear that they are fairly well organised as the last dates from Hornby quoted in this thread were 11 December for Dodo and 24 December for the H&P engine. Assuming that both arrived in the same container then it would seem reasonable to assume from teh latest information that they will be in the shops sometime between those two dates.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2016 Good grief how dare they deliver early, we spend all this effort castigating them for lateness and it all turns out to be a waste of effort because they hit the original date! That's it I'm gonna have a huff I have little enough spare energy to waste it on telling them off when they didn't need it. Now I'm going to be forced to enjoy Christmas, what next? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Wait? So have all three arrived? Or just the HP one arrived early? Thought it was going to be 'Dodo' and the Manchester Shipping Cannel Versions first? After all 'Dodo' has been seen in Oz?

Thought it was going to be 'Dodo' and the Manchester Shipping Cannel Versions first? After all 'Dodo' has been seen in Oz? by the looks of it just H&P one has arrived according to their website, as both MSC and Dodo still say pre-order whilst the other ssays new and has no release date on it information. edit: apparently there is 1 left if you want to snap it up quickly. further edit: well it says sold out when looking at all 3 but if you click on the the H&P one it says 1 left so might be a bug Edited December 13, 2016 by Pannier Tank Man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted December 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have all 3 on order, I've just checked my pre-orders and H&P is showing charged and despatched. My B12 is showing as processing... So looks like I've got 4 separate boxes coming from Big H this week (coke hoppers arrived today in 2 boxes already).
