walrus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Particularly disappointing as it is being applied to existing subscribers like me who took out subscription to the magazine as it included the Key Model World access…. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - I may ended my printed subscription and just pick up the odd copy from the newsagent. Most Keywold stuff seems to trend towards advertising and reviews anyway...plus a lot of irrelevant (to me) non-railway material... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
walrus Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I flagged this up to Key Publications and they have restored my access to Key Model World until the end of my current subscription. It seems the issue arises where a subscription has been renewed. In this case the free access is not carried across from the old to the new subscription automatically as they are separate systems. Full marks to Key for sorting it promptly - worth contacting them if you have the same problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rang them and they'll give me a few months. Subscribers should have been notified anyway but nothing recieved here. I think they've had a lot of complaints but apparently they only did it during Covid as an extra. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2021 I thought having a digital subscription would give access to the KeyModelWorld media (being as it is the same format) but apparently not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends….. When I took out a one year Hornby Mag digital sub in July there was an offer which included KeyModelWorld for the duration of the subscription. My access disappeared a few weeks ago so I contacted Key. They said this was a mistake on their part and they restored access. Might be worth checking if you took out your sub under the same offer? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I’ve had my subscription for a few years now……I thought when KeyModelWorld was launched it was included as it asked for my subscription number which I have never had with the digi sub through Pocket Mag online.

rob D2 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 So did I ! I seemed to be able to access it briefly then not at all - I wasn’t that bothered as I found the navigation of the site not exactly easy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted December 7, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2021 Any one not got their latest issue? Saw it in the shops on Friday but no sign of it. Checked and I've still got issues left on the subscription. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted December 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2021 Got in touch with key publishing email and no luck but then tried Hornby magazine direct through facebook and got a great response from Richard that he would sort it personally and was very sorry. Can't ask for more than that! As always issues crop up and it's how they sort them that defines them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Has anyone heard if Key Publishing will be repeating the January issue + new Hornby Catalogue combined offer again this year?

Pint of Adnams Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 So selected Tesco stores only, which means mine will not have it (didn't last year), while online purchasing is for subscribers only... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It says they are doing the Airfix magazine and catalogue deal. I can't see them not doing the Hornby one as well. The new Airfix 2022 catalogue is available together with the February cover date issue of Airfix Model World, at a special price, in more than 300 branches each of WH Smith and Tesco. This combo will save you £4! Alternatively visit shop.keypublishing.com to order the bundle or catalogue for delivery direct to your door. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farang Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Key is offering the Hornby 2022 Catalogue to subscribers at £6.99 inc. postage. The February issue was in W H Smith in Kingston on Tuesday but I have not yet received my copy. My local WHS did not have the magazine today but it did have the Hornby catalogue.

I wouldn't be too surprised if there were plenty of catalogues left over at my local WHS after this month's Hornby magazine disappears. After all, what's the point in paying good money for a catalogue which showcases models that might not even be available at any model shops in the area? Edit: More to the point, even if all these models were to appear in your local preferred model shop, I wonder how many people would actually be able to afford a lot of the quoted prices.

MyRule1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 While making my weekly Tesco home delivery order today I checked it the Hornby / Catalogue order was available through this means. Bizarrely what actually came up as an offer was £4 off if I bought two copies of the magzine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 17, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2022 I saw the two in my local Tesco - no advertising of the offer but the lady on the till checked and it was £4 off - but after I showed my club card! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of Adnams Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I ordered a copy of the Hornby catalogue from Key on 12th January and received confirmation of my order. It has still not been delivered and I've had no response to my e-mail to customer services, quoting the order number and asking if there is a problem. Fortunately I paid by Paypal. Is anyone else in the same limbo? Edit - Ending up ringing them and finally got through to the customer help line. A copy had been dispatched but had not arrived, so a replacement was issued and arrived within a couple of days. As it's in a clear poly wrapper no doubt someone fancied the contents... hope they enjoy their model railway catalogue Edited February 13, 2022 by Pint of Adnams Updated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I got mine in a couple of days and was delivered by Parcel Force rather than normal post. Never had a problem with Key. They're normally reliable. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 My mother-in-law walked into our room today and gasped in shock, then started laughing. She had not properly read the title of the magazine on my bedside table (i.e. her eye has omitted the "b").... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
