From the recent magazine advert the model differs and the one at Chester cathedral with the offical Hornby product photos from their website! The DTS headlights looking out of place and not in the right place but the recent advert looks accurate where they should be also with closer fitting parts but the Hornby photos on the website have gaps! So it looks like they've used the first painted decorated samples and not the finalised product. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted October 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2021 What are those sloping pieces inside on the bogie end of the intermediate trailers?

Yes I was wondering this also, it's probably capacitors or perhaps even it is just possible that it could just be a fallen luggage rack? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleander Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Saw the Model to day running. Looks Fantastic. Tried to see if I could see that Capacitor but could not get a low enough angle . The model ran very well and the paint looked perfect. Looking foward to getting my one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey yes, mine too, although i got an email to say there was a payment issue, probably because it was so long ago, anyway you only get a week to update it so check your emails if you have an order in. also does anyone know if the couplers are the same as the old 80’s version? Otherwise the ndm wont be running till the full set arrives :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterCity80s Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The Hornby website is showing all the coach packs (with the exception of the APT-U development vehicle) as being in stock now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted October 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2021 I wonder how sellers of these will view returns if either there are faults that are only found later, or buyers then fail to be able to get hold of the main APT set itself? For example, you can only return a working item to Hornby for 14 days for a refund normally. Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
