Steamport Southport Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Has everyone been ordering the Caledonian one? It went from "more than 10 available" to "4 in stock" to "on order" in a couple of hours. http://www.hattons.co.uk/312305/Hattons_H4_AB14_004_Andrew_Barclay_0_4_0ST_14_1863_in_Caledonian_Railway_lined_blue/StockDetail.aspx Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leavesontheline Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I received my Barclay No 1 in Burnley Corporation Gas Department today only ordered yesterday morning .used the dpd delivery option Really pleased with the locomotive it's a great runner and looks superb We'll done hattons You are lucky! I ordered mine in December - albeit with 'standard' delivery - order processed and funds taken Friday, still waiting for 'picked and dispatched' email! Does make me wonder for the future if there is any point in 'pre-ordering'? I guess with my Hornby H&P Peckett it was worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted April 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ordered mine the evening it was announced. Was despatched yesterday on their standard 48 hour Royal Mail, so should arrive tomorrow. Luckilly, my postie always leaves stuff with the neighbours when I'm at work.

andyram Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 My "Katie", ordered on Saturday, is currently shown as being at Warrington Mail Centre according to the Royal Mail tracking service (it has been there since 6am allegedly). I am looking forward to receiving it. Interested to read Les' comments above about the running in time. Looks like I will need to pick a quiet club night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Sounds like the Warrington mail centre is getting crowded with Barclays - mine is there too according to the tracking reference I got in the email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sounds like the Warrington mail centre is getting crowded with Barclays - mine is there too according to the tracking reference I got in the email. They're moving out of Warrington. Mine now recorded as having reached the Tyneside Mail Centre and on its way to my local delivery office, so hopefully a little bundle of joy waiting for me when I get home after work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Mine has now arrived in Derby. Should be delivered today. I bet it arrives whilst I am out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) A quick clip featuring 14" & 16" Andrew Barclay's, 2069 "Little Barford" in Acton Lane Power Station Blue with Wasp Stripes and 2226 "Katie" in Lined Maroon, Top & Tailing on a short Material Train. Sort of tempted to build a Foxfield style incline for a future project now... Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZqdtuPLqc8 Edited April 18, 2018 by SDJR7F88 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sounds like the Warrington mail centre is getting crowded with Barclays - mine is there too according to the tracking reference I got in the email. Mine sat at Warrington all day yesterday (Tuesday), its now at the Local Delivery Office and I can expect delivery sometime today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy W Posted April 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2018 Mine sat at Warrington all day yesterday (Tuesday), its now at the Local Delivery Office and I can expect delivery sometime today! Snap. That sounds par for the course for Royal Mail's two day service. If it looks like being possible in one day, they just leave it sitting in a sorting office until two days becomes inevitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does look like people are making a collection of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 My NCB Black engine was ordered on Monday and was in my hands last night. Was so happy with it that Little Barford is already on its way to me.

Hroth Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thing is, I ordered something off Hattons pre-owned list recently and selected RM48 delivery. It arrived the next day via Yodel24hr....

RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted April 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2018 My nice Royal Mail delivery gentleman knocked on my door about an hour ago and I have just spent about 40 minutes running "Katie" backwards and forwards on a yard long piece of track. First impressions - VERY smooth right from the box and a lovely looking loco. Having had problems getting my "P" class out of the plastic wrapping I used what I had learned and found no problem getting the loco unpacked. It will go very nicely with my Hornby Peckett.

Porcy Mane Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I fitted a new decoder which fails to operate the loco this was then replaced with a decoder from an operational engine, it too failed to work.

andyram Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Mine arrived today. It looks stunning. Hopefully will get to give it a run later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWJ Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 'My' Katie arrived this afternoon. Ordered on Saturday afternoon so very quick delivery. It is quite delightful and for those who are still waiting for their version to arrive, all I can say is it is well worth the wait. Well done Hattons! Now if you can do another version called 'Daniel' that will keep all the offspring happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Postie turned up at lunchtime bearing a small parcel. Opened immediately, i gently liberated 705 from her packaging and placed her on the rails.. A solid little engine with plenty of heft for her small size. She ran sweetly and smoothly over set track points and pulled a pair of Airfix LMS Suburban carriages together with a Lima bogie GUV without slipping. Despite threats to the contrary, I didn't have the patience to either do an unboxing video or sequence of photos..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfsboy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 i was going to order a Caley version .It looks stunning but I really want to make a grimy industrial type so went for the NCB green version which will grime up lovely .I will remove the markings and perhaps invent a name for it on brass nameplate .When it comes I will give it a pulling test on my US layout full 8 wheelers and over insulfrog .I also have an idea for some different crew figures to make.
