    went to the show today. Big improvment over last year. No gaps and they put more in to the show this year. Great to see so many traders and layouts. The smaller hall was full this year. I got the impression there was less specialist trader in the small hall than in previous years. Over all great show and glad I went. Great they keept the free parking.

    I hear what you are saying ,But by putting the price were it is. There a lot of potential customers that will say: I like it but will pass on the price. On The Niche part. Prototype locos have sold well in the UK model market in the past. I think KR models are on there 3rd run of GT3. Some niche models can have wide appeal if priced well.

    Saw the model to day at the NEC. Very nice looks great,But way over priced. It is a small eletric loco. You can get a lot of small medium and large model locos for less than this one is priced. So I will pass unless I see it in the bargin bin

    My Guess is Hornby has supplied some You Tubers first so they can do reviews. There was some plugging for Hornby.com in the vid

    I wonder what Hornby are going to be doing with all these broken returns . Will they have enough body shells to fix the broken returned models . Or will they have to commission a second run to replace the broken body shells. Or will they have enough in stock .

    We all know Hornby has not yet got a final date for when 5 and 7 cars will be avaible. Yes there is date on there website but it changes all the time. If they left 1 week ago from the factory in china we would still have 7 weeks wait. About 2nd week of January. The guy in china might get it direct. Hence he has it for sale now . Do Hornby anounce when items are in transet ?

    I see what you mean. In the 1st sec of the vid you get a good side on of the nose. Something dosent look wright on the joint line. Looks like its bulging, It could be the light causing that. What is clear the pantograph looks poor. Its not even stright.

    Got mine and ran it for the first time. Could not get the AWS horn or bell to sound eventhough they are listed. The whistel was broken. Making that out of plastic was a bad move. Should have been made out of brass. Overall pleased with it.

    Just recived an email from KR models. It allows people who got the first run of GT3 to register for a free replacment font bogie. Via nice of KR models to do that.

    Went to day . One thing I liked was on Sunday Children got in for Free. Some very nice layouts. As for the whole covid thing. Thoes who want to wear a mask can, and thoes who dont do not. Walking around the majority of people do not want them,

    Thats me signed up for both gas and eletric. Quick question . Is the only diffrence between E1000 and E2001 just the numbering ?

    Saw the Model to day running. Looks Fantastic. Tried to see if I could see that Capacitor but could not get a low enough angle . The model ran very well and the paint looked perfect. Looking foward to getting my one.
  21. oleander
    Thanks for the info. I can see that causing some problems. As many model shops dont know if they are getting there full amount. So you get your add on coaches but find out in late 2021 or early 2022 you dont get main part of the set. I will be asking for the shop to keep it as one sale. Ie no 7 car set then no add on coaches .
  22. oleander
    At least it looks like it will be comming out in the correct order . The 5 and 7 train pack first and add on coachs later.
  23. oleander
    just had my bullet train extension pack dilivered the next working day. Fantastic. It was really well packed . Top service for Hattons .

    Hi That was what I am think. Given the price of the sound option and the amount of diffrent sounds they show on you tube. I would hope it would be an ESU V5.

    Are Horby going to be to put up a list on there website showing what shops are in what Tier? Will Tier one shops get stickers for there windows etc. It will be intresting when people phone up model shops to pre order 2022 items. Hello what Tier are you ? The reply the shop gives could very well decied if they get that pre order. How many of us would have ordered a W1 or APT from a Tier 2 or 3 shop now we the Tier system .
