Awesome news and will be a must have for my layout. What loco typically pulled them or was it whatever was at hand?

I like to see something to go with the royal sleeper, that release was pretty random.

Do want those that have already submitted to do it again? Obviously we cannot do a screenshot as it was a couple of days ago now. To be honest I can't even remember if it took or not, it appeared as though it did. RFD for Canada

Nice to see an overall view of the layout, looks amazing !!! Glad to hear you are on the up health wise too ! You are correct life is too short.

No confirmation email for me either, I registered yesterday.

No problem, the internet unfortunately has no emotions so it hard to convey ones expression. Funds are definitely an issue, especially with 3 HST sets to buy

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine how great this will look when it is all done, looks superb as it is !

This makes you no better than what you are complaining about. Why get worked up over someone who is upset regarding delivery procedures? So it is the same old same old, just move on.

No not at all, having only been back in the hobby a few years lots to buy and like most have to pick and choose as to what is higher on the "priority list". So loco sell quicker than other and if you don't jump when they are released then you lose out. I am abroad so don't have the option of local models shops or driving to one. Postage is expensive so I try to do my shopping at a couple of the larger retailers and buy a few items at once. Not really but as Basil said to Sybil " Can we get you on mastermind, next contestant Sybil Fawlty, specialist subject the bleeding obvious".

Perhaps a section on Hattons website where their customers facebook layout page could be listed ?

Looks stunning and well worth the effort.

Hopefully Hornby will have doubled up on MK3 production so as not to disappoint.

and pay almost double ! Yikes

Always good to see behind the scenes. Always great service from Hattons ! Thanks.

A model railway library of sorts Oh my !!

Viaduct looks smashing !

Do we need to turn this into a bun fight? My statement was a "more fool me for waiting so long" remark. I know they wouldn't be around forever.

Thanks I was thinking of doing this, another option is always rule #1 Perhaps in my world it was preserved So many things to buy, so little money I was tracking the item and just three days Hattons had 6 left next day all gone, after having more than 10 for years !!! Oh well c'est la vie and all that jazz............

Well thanks for those words of wisdom !

Whenever the detail is separately attached it will always be prone to breakage. Unless the shell is brass with soldered horns why spend more when it isn't necessary.

Why add brass horns if they are being painted?

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if any of the 85 carried the headcodes right up until they were withdrawn/scrapped? Waited and waited to get a TOPS version looks like they are now sold out

New canopies look great.

Brilliant !!
