Does anybody know if they have replaced both (I'm sure both have the issue) and I'll get another in due course or whether they did just one? Interestingly I've had 43013, how bizarre, I really hope they know that they are different bodies and need to send a set out.....

martin_l_jones Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hornby error apparently, they have sent the other body (43014) to me today. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Likewise with 43013 to me! Sounds like they didn't know there were two or something? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dead right, I explained that in my email. That there were two bodies in the pack and they were numbered 43013 and 43014. I think they've done really well on correcting this considering everything that's going on these days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Hornby about replacement bodies on Monday and they arrived yesterday. No missing numbers or printing on mine so spot on! I know this should have been correct from the factory but top marks to Hornby for sorting the issue out. Thanks Martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Yes I forgot to say, I got in touch with Hornby about this and I have got another body with the number on! So I now have 2 correct bodies, 2 wonky writing bodies and 1 straight writing body for 43013 with no number on one side! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidprentice Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Just a note to say the R3679 Network Rail HST I received had replacement body shells already fitted - but very poorly. To the extent that not all of the screws were properly seated. A warning for anyone buying these that it is definitely worth inspecting them on arrival, especially if you aren't likely to run them for a while.

Funny how there comments about a wonky decal spoiling the model but (most) people are happy to have incorrect painted out windows on the matching coaches Not everyone will have the knowledge regarding the windows - however, the wonky decals are quite clear for anyone to see. Do the people who worry about the windws also worry about the wheels being too close together (unless they model in P4/EM) ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is important to differentiate between a screw up and a compromise to allow the model to be made/be at the price it is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
