Quite a few people have had payment requested for locos 'soon to be in stock', which normally means days not weeks as it has been. Fingers crossed this turns out to be a good model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid for my order of R3836 when Hornby advised my retailer in mid August, that they would be in stock by end of August. Now my remaining hurdle is whether said retailer gets their order, or will there be a last minute allocation cut! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo009 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hornby have processed my order and it is being prepared for despatching. Just a few more days.....hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 On the Hornby site, in the shop, two models are available to buy, whereas two are still listed "pre-order". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order number: H00xxxxx Product: R3836 – BR, Standard 2MT, 2-6-0, 78047 - Era 5 time to get excited… last time I got an email like that was on Tuesday, and it arrived on Thursday..The Turbomotive. Has everything arrived at once, or is it that Monday is the start of Q4 ? Edited September 29, 2023 by adb968008 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being delivered in separate runs (as far as I have been told by Kernow) . I'm waiting for one of the later batch (R3981) myself.

When I queried it with Hornby they claim my order was cancelled because payment was declined. Hardly surprising, really, since the card details which I gave them were current at the time of ordering which was over three years ago. They said I should have received an e-mail asking me to contact them to update card details, and that 78047 was now out of stock. Mysteriously, it is now back in stock but they now want 38 quid more than the price quoted when I originally ordered. That's not on, Hornby, much as I would like a 78047 as I live just up the hill from the site of Hawick shed where the full size loco was based, I have already waited three years, I can wait longer until I find one in the bargain bin or second-hand. Edited to add:- Looks like I'm now sorted for obtaining this model. Edited September 30, 2023 by cessna152towser 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Having sent the email Hornby will hold the model for fourteen days. I received an email a few weeks ago - my card had expired date wise, and I was able to update new card details online, and I received a further email minutes later to say the model was on its way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmo009 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hornby tell me mine was despatched yesterday, but the DPD tracking link says they have not got it yet. I imagine it is somewhere in the space between worlds and will emerge at some future point. Probably when I'm not in.😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time ever that the tracking was down. It even said it was still in the UK, when I already got it here in Belgium. Hope yours arrives without further problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted October 5, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2023 According to Royal Mail, mine should be with me by 3pm tomorrow. The waiting is nearly over. Might even get the chance to “run it in” at Mickleover Model Railway Exhibition this weekend 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
