159220 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Aye, Ive been lobbying Oxfords to release the VTEC livery asap. But I feel we are going to miss out to the older liveries which are 'hugely popular'. Good to hear someone else also wishes to see VTEC from Oxfords. Been confirmed the limited edition certificate is linked to time of order and not time of reserving. Thus might of missed out on 238/500 but likely be in the lower figure 1-20/500 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Well that's mine ordered! Sandra could you message me though as I haven't received confirmation of the order? Edited July 12, 2016 by Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi Please pm me your name and I'll check and resend Cheers Sandra I know I could wait the week, yet I shall cease the moment to ask. What is the running number of the standard livery 43 which goes with 43238? It was 43312 (I seem to recall) which ran with 43238 at the launch, but was some time ago. Could be confused with the standard Hornby release which includes 43312. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCClark Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Good to see that the PCs will be with us very soon but, according to an e.mail from Hattons today, the VTEC coaches are not due until end of October. Very disappointing so come on Oxford Rail, can you compete with that delivery date??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 They look superb, thanks for posting those images. I really like theVtec livery on the HST and will be creating a full rake to go with them. I've been saving for both power cars and coaches since they were announced. Thanks Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 What a relief! I have been rather nervous about how these were going to turn out (Hornby are not know for livery matching), but that looks utterly superb! i like the attention to detail in removing the exhaust hood and what appears to be etched nameplates (absent from Harry Patch). Appears the delivery must of arrived a day early. In the email to reservists, the delivery was expected on Wednesday 20th with dispatch starting then, until the 22nd where by there would be a break until 1st Aug due to some event on at Locomotion. Hopefully with its arrival a day early, reservists who ordered on immediate receipt of the email shall be more satisfied if one turned up in the post tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Beauty! (and good to see 43312 confirmed with the set) Just a shame one is already on eBay for £399 whilst you can get one at Locomotion... But does mean, ours might arrive tomorrow. I am going to be like an excited dog waiting for the postman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoey Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 What a cracking pair of power cars! Nice to see Hornby have added the window detailing on the cab door Windows. Well done Hornby and happy modelling to all those that have ordered! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just a shame one is already on eBay for £399 whilst you can get one at Locomotion... Well I am hugely impressed. I reported the find on eBay to Locomotion and within a day (or two) the listing had terminated. That shows to me, quite simply, Locomotion offer the best customer care/service out there. To profit of a charity is morally indefensible and I am pleased to see the listing terminated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2016 Another one listed on eBay by a user " andymirf " for £399. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Why is this any different than the APT-E that were appearing on eBay for silly prices? Once the product is bought surely the buyer can ask for what he wants? whether he gets it is another matter.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2016 Do you not think its a bit out of order, especially when there are still 80 odd left according to the locomotion website at £225? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Do you not think its a bit out of order, especially when there are still 80 odd left according to the locomotion website at £225? Its called the free market, if anyone is stupid enough to pay the inflated price for one while they are still freely available from Locomotion (which is easily checked with a 5 second web search) then they deserve everything they get!

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted July 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2016 Do you not think its a bit out of order, especially when there are still 80 odd left according to the locomotion website at £225? Agree but it happens every time Locomotion release a limited edition.Any attempt to stop it is like holding back the tide.Market forces and all that "it's a free country" slogan.You wish! I don't personally care for it but as long as the greedy and gullible exist then chancers will always profit on e bay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2016 I can understand once it has sold out, but I the hi knots just way over the top when the product is still available at the retail price from the original place.

MrB Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hello all, Picked mine up from Locomotion yesterday sadly the other power car is 43312 which will clash with the Hornby VTEC set R3390TTS. I know it already clashes with the re-sprayed set I have 43311 & 43312. Regards Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it already clashes with the re-sprayed set I have 43311 & 43312. Regards Roy If you look on the packaging photo on Hornby`s site, it states 43311 and 43314 for the sound pair, i`m waiting to see for sure as i don`t want 2 43312`s!
