Edge Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I did notice that. It is a it disheartening that they can’t get all of the fine details right like the name Edited July 17, 2021 by Edge 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Green firebox under the running plate? I thought these were black below the running plate, like on the 9f and Brit? Edited July 17, 2021 by The Ghost of IKB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were black below the running plate, like on the 9f and Brit? Normally just dirt.... In this case they are correct. ISTR some one else in the other thread said the green cylinders were wrong, but Hornby has go that right as well. Evidence here.

landscapes Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Hi Great selection of photos of the Clan Class, thank you for posting them I weathered my model to look like a well worked locomotive but looking at your photos she now looks almost ex works. I may have to add some additional weathering. The Hornby Clan Class is a stunning model.

Helmdon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I've had my eye off the Hornby ball since the Hattons debacle cancelled pre-orders, but just re-ordered one of these through one of my (and apparently Hornby's) favoured smaller retailers. Obviously I can read a website as well as anyone else, but anyone got a steer on when we're looking at roughly for these? I suppose what I'm asking is to what extent have Hornby release dates been jumping around this year? Edited September 8, 2021 by Helmdon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose what I'm asking is to what extent have Hornby release dates been jumping around this year? Bearing in mind Hornby increased their prices across the range by 10% as of the 1st of August, both Clans are now advertised for sale at between £161.99 up to the RRP of £197.99. Some retailers still have them advertised for as a "Special Offer" for £161.99. In relation to availablity, current information from various outlets give release dates of anytime between September and December this year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
