RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted November 25, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2023 Seems to be working now, I've got a "thank you" for my order and, just now, got the confirmation email. Now to order a sound decoder from "Roads & Rails"...... Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you in effect saying that a member of Hornby Staff has no access to 24/7 IT support even when they are at an offsite, weekend event? I really hope their IT processes are better sorted than that would imply As it happens I can confirm it is working now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standards_in_OO Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I think that’s a solid announcement today and is always nice to see a preserved example. There have been plenty of other announcements over the last week or so and it’s not too long now until the Big Bang announcement day in 2024! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium coronach Posted November 25, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just about completed the weathering on Hawick 2MT 78047. I just need to find and fit the font steps on this side. Having spent some time in this model loco, in my opinion, this is the best Hornby has ever produced. The level of detail, particularly the pipework, is exceptional. 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 25, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2023 Live from my hotel bathroom… the best lighting in the room, but the shade of green looks good… 78006 looks the same, I guess 78000 is too, but looks different without lining. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, hotel bar prices are extortionate - I wouldn't even countenance room service; (are you on expenses)? My first job in any hotel room - worldwide - is to empty the mini-bar and refill it with bottle-shop beer and wine. Not tight, nor nowt!

Can't get the staff obviously… :-) here’s the harsh light of Warley… if it were LNER Green it would definitely still be there.. as I can’t get room service I’ve gone out so I’ll post it with some Heljan B Regent Tanks, they seem to have found some leftovers when I get back Edited November 25, 2023 by adb968008 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 For anyone else who pre-ordered in 2021 for the 78022 Club exclusive I think the question of are they being honoured has been answered. I've been charged for it and the order updated to Processing from Pending. So looks like the original orders have been kept which is great! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Grouping fan Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Lovely, just had an email asking to update my payment details. Again credit to them for honouring the original price. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I spoke to Customer Services today and was told "That was the price when you ordered it, so that's the price you pay" - it's now on its way via DPD. They have always honoured the price when ordered in the past, so why change now? Edited November 27, 2023 by Bulleidboy100 4 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Hatton Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) I'm answer to my own previous question 'when will the other variants arrive?' mine was delivered yesterday morning. First impressions are good, everything is present and fitted correctly as far as I can see. The steps/cylinder drains/tender water scoop are all in the accessory bag (along with a snow plough and the front coupling). Not yet run in (tomorrow's playtime) however I also have to decide if its worth also purchasing 78047 or just to renumber this one. The idea is to replicate 78018 as currently on the gcr however the air tank on left side and battery box on the right are missing (these are fitted on 78047 however that doesn't have the yellow tender wheel bearings).

Turnesc Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I've just got my collectors club 78022 delivered and before I even opened the box I could hear the rattle. The chimney is loose in the box and I can see it, but not actually taken it out of the clear plastic yet incase I jsut send it straight back. My question is does it just clip back in so no need to return, is it a common issue or is it definatley needing to be returned? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
