Notwithstanding all of the problems with the running gear; whilst the body detail is good, it's a scale foot too wide and looks vaguely ridiculous next to other coaching stock. My plan with mine is to put it on a 5Seven9 (or is it Five7Nine - it's still early) 6-wheel underframe when it becomes available separately, and run it as the brake van on a train of milk tankers to try and hide the extra width. And add the old Hornby fish van* to the consist. *Also over width. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestTom Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 To be honest, I don't mind waiting for the LNWR coaches. I know Hornby do that livery, but I want something that looks different to my LSWR and LBSC even if it isn't strictly prototypical. And the Hornby livery is visibly too light. While it's disappointing that they're delayed, I do give Hattons credit for keeping us posted on the situation. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venator Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Delighted the SE&CR batch are due soon, though it may cause space issues as I have x16 coaches pre ordered (x8 4 wheel and x8 6 wheel)! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2022 Everything is delayed due to the shipping backlog caused by the pandemic.

RMweb Gold teaky Posted January 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some inconsistency it appears. I have pre-ordered one of the LNER variants but have not received an email.

Well I’ve not had one for mine either so I wonder if it’s a general email or specifically about peoples orders? You’ll probably find if you’re not subscribed to the mailing list you won’t get a general one. I never got an email about the Hornby orders cancellation and they said they couldn’t as that was a mailing list announcement. I did get a polite apologetic email saying I should have had a letter, as if not on the mailing list ‘gpdrdgrp-wibble’ means they can’t email you, but that had never arrived. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantock Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well such is life. However, I am expecting some £300 odd of coaches and if they are planning on posting late August they will need to let customers specify when. I can’t be having that lot sitting in a doorway. I won’t be the only one on holiday (Covid permitting). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be the only one on holiday (Covid permitting). That is not what that email says. "We do always send emails to you following an order...and to provide the delivery information." Implying that Hattons would just send £300 parcel without telling you it was coming does them a great disservice. In my experience of dealing with them, their email notifications of orders and deliveries are spot on. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantock Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ok no disservice meant. I simply lack the experience of a pre-order being delivered and will continue to lack for another 8 months. There is a difference between notifying and giving an opportunity to change though. The latter is what is needed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUCKOO LINE Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You can always use the trunk service and then arrange delivery when you are ready. I have done this a few times. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without re-opening the previous debate, Hattons do seem determined to produce the SE & CR coaches in an inappropriate colour. I have not ordered any.

Jol Wilkinson Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The LNWR carriage lake (plum) chosen by both Hatton's and Hornby also seems rather wide of the mark, compared to that found on several preserved coaches (including the Picnic Saloon that was restored at Quainton) as well as that available from PPP. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
