    2021 hopes

    More Era 1 stuff as other people have said. Mark 4s + DVT as a obvious as well. Would love more Caledonian Railways stuff, Steam loco's, coaching stock etc. Wouldn't mind seeing a Merlin liveried version of the HST in the main range as well to. An S160 would be nice, considering only one you can get is the Roco variant in HO. Lastly for Hornby to get away from 8pin decoders to.
  2. Have to say the coaches are very smart and add to it. Each coach comes with two chain couplers as well to.
  3. Like wise for me and after calling Hornby directly gladly going to new address as well to. Time to find which box the Rocket pack is in for photos.
  4. For the three had ordered from Hornby directly the amount seems to have come out of bank account. After getting a email saying had arrived to the warehouse (In which had to phone, customer services, due to change of address)
  5. Crazy how small it is. Got to get it beside the Andrew Barclay i have. Mine needs running in a bit more, perfect in reverse, runs in forward but not perfectly yet. The coaches as well are super smooth rolling to.
  6. Most welcome, honestly it's a great price for the stock included. I will remain hopeful at somepoint will get the Late 80s/ 90s sets re-released in this style, as be a instant order for me. Especially if was to say the 225 one, from back in 1995.
  7. Loving the Art Work on the Hornby Dublo Train set, Also the A4 does seem to be the full proper one. (Funny enough, all the A4s i have are limited editions, Being Bittern, Mallard - Gold plated one and this one) Also is number 257 to.
  8. Good to hear so, Hope the model is all fine as well to. I know the posting times have been stupid since do the post office as well at my local coop, One thing my mum sent to the USA on 1st of April arrived last week. Also Mine is now on it's way back to Rails of Sheffield to.
  9. As far as can tell it is paint damage sadly. I agree it really is a stunning model, a vast improvement to the rather old one i have to. (Would have gone for the BR Black one, but had to match it with the old model) Will post better photo's when new one comes of course to. Hopefully it isn't so, Apart from that it is a stunning model, especially when compared to the old one.
  10. Front bufferbeam on the left and the tank side shows the worse bit.
  11. Did receive my one on Saturday, Although have had to send it back due to some paint issues annoyingly. (Although will be getting a replacement) Compared to the other Large Prairie i have, which has of course seen better days (apart from being heavily used and 16+ so years old), it is by miles a better improvement though and look forward for the replacement to come.
  12. Got the coaches from my other half as a rather late B'day Present, came about 2/3 days apart from each other. Am incredibly impressed with them, Hopefully be able to find a friends layout to give it a run on. (Powercars now sounded as well to)
  13. Really Depends where about in the country you are in. Most is getting through ok, but of course expect delays. For the change on Saturdays. It is only standard Letters/ Small Letters/ Small Parcels. If the item is Special Delivery (Which it's self, by 1 isn't for certain, but will arrive same day) Signed for, recorded and so on. will still be delivered on a Saturday (Going by print off, working at a post office/ coop) Know is annoying from both sides sadly, just got to wait. Few of the local posties who collect the stuff, have said it is busier then Christmas as well to. Parcelforce so far is fine ish, so are DHL etc.
  14. Furthest would be Trainworld in Brooklyn NYC, where i got a MTH ES44AC in CSX + a Autorack. Second furthest would be Züge und mehr in Hamburg, where i got a Roco BR85 (With Sound) and some Marklin Coaches of suitable era.
  15. Shall be Ordering the Battle of Britain Memorial flight one, when it's up for preorder. Hopefully the project continues of course to.
  16. switches at the bottom correct and for the Cablights haven’t tested it yet (will do tomorrow as work today) but imagine will be the same as normal for them.
  17. Have to say the pack is very nice. Present from my brother. Not picture is the detailing kits for the locomotive and the gear for the Vulcans + the small name panels for the Vulcans.
  18. Although posted over on the Rapido Facebook page. A fantastic model, one thing wasn't after but just took my fancy when was walking around Warley. Some of my fellow work colleagues, loved the photo's i showed them. As a few used them when they were younger to. Chris
  19. Have to say enjoyed the show a lot on the Sunday, compared to the last few year's it has been on the Saturday as well to. Also good thing for the NEC, it seemed at least the Disabled Parking was a bit better sign posted and the staff come across was decent and nice as well to. Have to say loved Sud Harz and the American N Gauge layouts as well as different and interesting to. Come away with some Purchases as well, Being Rapido's new bus (With the lights), Bittern on the 1:1 collection, to go with the Oxford Rail's Railgun the K5 Krupp sold at the Hornby Stand and a BR 151 Heavy Freight Loco' from Scograils to.
  20. A Fantastic layout, Do have to say one of my favourites from the show. Chris
  21. Got my copy of the mag earlier in the week. The layout looks gorgeous. Look forward to seeing it at Warley as well.
  22. Honestly didn't even notice it, but then no issue for me though. Chris
  23. Received my pair today, are lovely models Now to just wait for the coaches and sound them. Chris
  24. Nice video posted by Bachmann on Youtube for the 90
  25. Had a look at the IC one at Kidderminster station today. Looks gorgeous and tempting me more to get one. Also should be out next week, as said by the person on the stand.
