RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2020 Typically I’ve had a week of the trafford park job with 66784 and what do they do a couple of hours after I get off it, they put 66731on it! (it’s not staying on though, it’s only doing Eastleigh to the Southampton docks and back for a TV news feature) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They are still available, I have just ordered one and the process was smooth without any hangs or glitches. Well done Hornby on your fantastic contribution to the NHS from this model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublodad Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just Ordered mine after trying the get the web site to let me until midnight. It was still in my Basket (Out of Stock at 7:30AM) 2020 seems to be a good quantity!!! Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Just ordered now without a hitch. On Facebook, 20 minutes ago, Hornby just said the production run has been increased to 2020 (up from 1000 yesterday evening, itself up from 500 earlier in the yesterday - and they can increase it again if they need too, as the money is for an excellent cause). This is fantastic, considering £40 (over half the price) will go to the NHS. Don't normally go for things in the 21st century. But this guy and the cause is exceptional. Well done Hornby.

I suggest you re-check (and make sure to "refresh/clear cache) - as of 09:54 it's available to pre-order from the Hornby website... Number to be made is currently 2020 - "Limited Edition" or not, I hope they just keep upping this until the orders stop! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you mentioned it in the Class 91 thread and you've brought it up again. Design-Clever was a 2012 thing...it's 2020 now! 8 years has gone and Design-Clever is a thing of the past. It's long gone. They only brought about that ideology because we complained about prices. It existed for a year or two and vanished. I am not hooked on Design Clever it is part of the Hornby story and how it has evolved since then: I do not ask or need your comments about it. It was a significant episode in the Hornby history, if you have not got anything sensible to add apart from criticise others....why bother?

I just saw a post on Hornby's Facebook page, thought 'Oh that looks nice I'll buy one' so I did. I even had time to reset my password so I could log in.

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted May 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 1, 2020 Had to be careful about refreshing the page and pressing pre-order, at one stage I had five on order! Thankfully just the one ordered now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Some of the moaning on the Hornby Facebook page about expanding the limited edition is astonishing with people saying they are cancelling their order now it's more than 500. I told SWMBO about it. I can't repeat what she said but it wasn't very lady-like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a self centred bunch of idiots.....obviously bought for investment rather than the spirit of the gesture......Hornby should make it a mainstream model now, that’ll fix the bu99ers! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
