Bill Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I Received a notice from a well known Liverpool supplier-source that indicated Clan Line was due in tomorrow (14th March) - according to their source in Hornby-land - So - Good things very soon it would seem!

RMweb Gold RFS Posted March 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 After having a chat with a member of Hornby customer services they believe the facebook post to be incorrect just the southern locos are here as of now and in fact he belived the BR variants wouldnt be here until august time I Received a notice from a well known Liverpool supplier-source that indicated Clan Line was due in tomorrow (14th March) - according to their source in Hornby-land - So - Good things very soon it would seem! Just got this official email from Hatton's: "Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us on or after Tuesday 14th March 2017". So tomorrow it is then. If Hornby are saying the BR variants aren't coming till August I assume that means the next production run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tomorrow it is then. If Hornby are saying the BR variants aren't coming till August I assume that means the next production run. Do we have any reason to believe Hornby has commissioned two production runs of the BR versions? Surely there's only one production run of each model, which is the norm.

JSpencer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've been advised both the two SR green ones are due tomorrow. So far though, we have only seen pics of 21C3. Just as well, my 17 year old rebuilt Clan Line just started displaying motor problems at the weekend. Well the poor thing just keep being loaded with several Pullman's to take up inclines. I've given the work to a light pacific for now but that wheel slips. One of these will do until a 71 with arrows comes along...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wow Hornby have made a stunning model of a loco I have long wished to appear in RTR. I cannot wait to get her running. I doth my cap to them. Alternative fact opinion by Angry Mole (aka Bachmann Bias Mole) - Wow what a pile of junk Hornby are once again trying to sell to us for an extortionate price! When will that awful company just fail and leave the hobby in peace? I for one cannot wait until Bachmann release their vastly superior version next year at a typically reasonable Bachmann price of £65! Enough Hornby, enough of your terrible snot coloured childrens toys! Yours jokingly, Alex 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be at your location in 20 minutes and have him at their 'Facility' 8 hours or so after that - they are dying to put someone in their newly repainted Green Room - washable walls of course (it can get rather bloody) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium decauville1126 Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just had a phone call from Derails Models to say my Flannel Jacket has arrived in Coleford, been tested, and is being repacked ready for delivery by DPD tomorrow. Now that is what I call exemplary customer service! Just hope it's got 3mm diameter axles for the drivers as I have a set of P4 Gibsons sitting here ready that were going into a modified but hadn't been started.

bigherb Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Royal Mail has turned up not by Royal Mail though. It certainly looks a stunning model, only mark down was a bit of excess lubricant on the bodywork in front of the cylinder. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Running qualities are superb, very smooth starting and running and that massive flywheel will keep it running on a few inches at low speed considerably longer at high speed so watch out for your buffer stops. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Midland Mole Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It is taking all my resolve to resist buying Clan Line when it arrives, but I have spent enough this month!
