Has this been dropped? The club is rather pointless if the discount is no longer there. I got extra Hobby Points. Double I think, and that was on top of the Double Points offer! Make sure you are signed into the Collectors Club when making the purchase as well as your account. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to enter the works for the motion and wheels to be gold plated. I thought Scotsman was gold plated.. Everything related to that loco seems to have a Scotsman added tax. I’d understand if they were shaving bits off, for that gold plated model, original gold made genuine Scotsman Moneypit and unicorn powder. It could be a Flying Scotsmans 2024 Edition, an empty box as the loco is on vacation this year. Edited June 12 by adb968008 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 12 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12 It's the capsule range (well we haven't heard anything about that for a while and as the Annual Report is due soon they'll need some news for that). On the other hand it could perhaps be EP or 3-D print examples of a GWR 'Saint'. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Am I correct in thinking that at the time of the January announcement there was an implication of another one coming mid year? Could this be apart of a phased movement to quarterly announcements- Jan/Summer for OO and Spring/Autumn for TT? Just a thought Les 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernowtim Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 An announcement about an announcement?

Just a thought Les Hi Les, Mike did say on the April 2 2024 TT:120 launch video to " continue keeping our eyes peeled (or whatever it was that was said? Something along those lines) as you'll never know when the next announcement/announcements will be." I'm sure that whatever the June 19 2024 announcement will be unveiled, we'll all probably be around 99.9% wrong as to what the announcement will be guesses wish listing etc! Hopefully it'll be incredible but whatever it'll be, it still will be exciting and interesting! As I am still amazed at the seating cushion cover detailing on the recent decorated sample of the LNER Coronation Observation car! at a quick glance it looked like gold nuggets but when I focused on it more clearly the Instant upholstery patterns on the fabric was visable and outstanding!
