RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted April 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2020 It must have created quite a stir - the Hornby website keeps giving me a '504 Gateway timeout' error message. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black 5 Bear Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) How many of these will end up on "Ebay" at ridiculous prices I wonder??? Nice sentiment on the part of Hornby though. Edited April 30, 2020 by Black 5 Bear 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted April 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2020 Website still not letting me buy one.... I think they could have sold a great deal more than 500. Probably limited by the size of the production slot 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Here's a good error message from Hornby after clicking to "pay for preorder". Quote An issue has occured during your checkout process. We shall now take you back to your cart where you're able to restart your checkout process. All you can click is an OK button and back onto the merry go round!

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted April 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2020 I got as far as ordering and filling in the details then the site crashed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6412 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Managed to order mine, but it took a very long time to process. Don’t forget as well as the NHS it also commemorates the efforts of Captain Tom 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Is anyone getting through or are we all tripping over each others feet? Perhaps we should observe Social Distancing? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted April 30, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2020 Finally, got an order in. Its taken at least 12 attempts to log on, several attempts to complete the order and 2 attempts to pay. Dont use reload or back page, it confuses it, just sit out the whirly things on the screen and eventually goes through. Taken me nearly an hour 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroborus Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 As above - some patience required waiting for the page to fully load and the whirly thing to stop whirling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
