Que a glut of Hornby 60’s released in various liveries just before this arrives 🫤

If they do that with the Newton car carriers I will cancel and go elsewhere even if the price is the same. If this is a regular trick they pull they need calling out on it, it’s not illegal but it’s definitely dodgy practice at best.

I’ve ordered a set from TMC because of the lower price, was surprised by how much cheaper they where, hope they don’t try and charge more especially as payment was taken.

I think you’re thinking of this;

Have the correct length versions sold out or are they not available yet?

Bit of a long shot but would anyone know the first 31 to get platted over communicating doors and when it received that modification and the last to keep them and when it was done?

That’s easy, Hornby want to put it up against Hattons far superior detailded version, putting it in the railroad range would be admitting its inferior in detail.

It’s always been there but very poorly executed by layering paint, but on the cab area it disappears completely, so I go along with the opinion it’s not there as it’s incomplete along the whole model. The really annoying part of all this is LIMA managed to do it correctly, a moulding Hornby now own.

There was a BTSO S2526S that was taken into department service as 082232, later renumbered to 975375 and was painted blue when 975375.

Maybe i’m missing something but it sounds like those that kept their under-scale models are being treated as valued customers whilst anyone who returned theirs for a refund will just have to wait and see if there are any correct length ones left after replacing the under-scale ones.

No strictly, istr it was 5970 which was built as a standard TSO then converted after a couple of months

Let’s make it clear, I applaud your decision to make rare and unique models and wish you every success. But full UK prices including VAT should be advertised on your website at the entry point, not once the ordering process has begun, it is misleading, see The stationmaster’s previous comment. And to confirm, when I said it has put me off being a customer that doesn’t mean I won’t be a future customer.

If you find two conflicting prices for the same item clear good for you

I ask as on your site it appears I would make two payments, the £50 deposit and then the remaining amount. Also your site says sound fitted Fell diesel costs £207.50 but if paying via instalments the cost appears to be £253.50. I am fully supportive of KR models and wish you every success but you need to make it clear how much total costs will be regardless of payment method and explain how many payments are required when paying via instalments. It is anything but clear. It has put me off ordering
