    I have a Legacy Dongle plugged in to a Hornby Elite. I have been running loco's fitted with TCS DP2X-UK decoders for some weeks since the dongle was made available - also controlling said loco's from my iPhone - no problems whatsoever. I am not sure how many "controllers" have the Xpressnet socket required to take the dongle.

    Perhaps Ashley gets his advice from Sam!

    You have to remember that as far as the media is concerned, a difference of opinion translates into a major row.

    It would appear there is a "power struggle" going on at Red Bull at the moment. This is between the parent company and the racing team. Looks as though Horner is on the way out?????

    The Times newspaper reported Horner, 50, had been accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female colleague, who complained to the team's parent company.

    Call me cynical, but if LH does leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season, you can bet your bottom dollar that 2025 will be the year that Mercedes hit top form and are the car to beat.

    Still cheaper than Cavallino - £19.95 bi-monthly.

    I have a number of Cobalt Digital iP point motors on my layout that are wired for both DCC and toggle switch operation. All have been working for some years, but one has suddenly stopped working, whichever operational method is used. I know they have a "lifetime" guarantee, and before I jury rig a power/DCC set-up, I thought I would ask if anyone had had a similar problem?

    I very recently acquired the R40029 BR Maunsell Kitchen/Dining First – S37998S through the Hornby Sale - good deal as I had some Reward Points, so it cost me £3.95 p&p. However the cream is lighter than previous models - to much milk in the custard??

    I bought the Bachmann 31-425A Class 411 CEP 4 Car EMU – BR Green for £64.95 in early 2013, new from one of the large outlets. So even in ten years, that's quite an increase - even if you do get 5p change from £550! Sorry, that was going off at a tangent, I do have the Hornby Standard Class 2 MT bought at announcement price - so to me - a good deal.

    I have the R4196 Golden Arrow Pullman Coach Pack and can confirm that the roofs are white.

    ............. and to think I'm a Merchant Navy man😂

    This arrived yesterday - very well packaged and nothing fell off or was loose in the box.

    Just released - Kernows (as I am sure others do) have SNG available at £320.99

    Sound now available to download on the Hornby HM7000 App.

    I thought there were steps in the "bits" bag?

    There is one (Hornby Dublo - Great Gathering) currently on ebay - Buy it Now - but they are asking £450 for it.

    R30263 Hornby Dublo BR Class A4 4-6-2 60009 Union of South Africa has arrived in the Hornby warehouse.

    It's a nice loco - despite being a few years old. I note from my records that Oliver Cromwell joined the fleet in 2006, William Shakespeare in 2012 and Britannia as recently as 2021 - I had been after a "good" one for sometime, and this one popped up on Ebay.

    Hornby have said many times that when they announce, for example, they are making a 2-10-10-2 loco, it will be a minimum of three years before it hits the shelves. The 2-10-10-2 loco was a fictitious example - just in case someone asks or tries to order one.🙄
  21. Bulleidboy100
    I thought I read on this forum that Hornby would not be making any announcement of new models in January, as they usually do, but in future would announce new models either when they were on the boat or had actually arrived in the warehouse? The downside to this method, for some, is that the price would not change from announcement to delivery. I just made a huge saving on the 2MT, as I am sure others did, by ordering when it was announced in January 2021.

    Having arrived yesterday, I unpacked my 2MT today, and am pleased to report nothing fell off or appears to be loose. There was however a 7mm screw lying loose in the box - I have not as yet looked to see where it may have come from?

    I have not played around with my own details, but are you saying once changed the site does not accept them?. If you go into My Account and My Details, which I assume you did, everything appears there to be changed, if you need to - email, password, billing address etc.

    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?

    A surprising win on eBay - only six bids and left my bid until the last ten seconds - and I won - £92.00 plus free P&P. described as "As new - never run" - box still had factory tissue around it. Average price of others on eBay £167.00. 2/1/2024 - I would add that I have now fitted the loco with a Hornby 21pin TXS Sound decoder, speaker and power bank. It runs very well and sounds tremendous.
