Email received on Thursday from Derails.

 

As per our last update to you way back at the beginning of March, Hornby were previously anticipating a May release of the R3810 packs. Unfortunately we have been notified that there is a slight delay (which is totally understandable given the current circumstances) and that these packs are now due in June. We'll keep you updated if we receive any further revisions to this date, or if we get a more exact date on their arrival.

Also new this week is the lovely Hornby Pecket 0-4-0ST - seen here during its running in. I was hoping to get the decoder this afternoon from Gaugemaster, but apparently the four pin can only be ordered from Hornby.

Then seen here with the Bachmann / Model Zone wagons from a few years ago.

I had a phone call from them yesterday explain g to me my Hornby Peckett was being shipped and that to make sure I got it before Christmas they upgraded from 1st class post to carrier at no extra charge.

I have dealt with them in the past and always found them prompt and a pleasure to deal with, even refunding when I paid more postage than I needed too.

One very satisfied customer.

I spent a good while today watching the trains go by on your layout,
