The sound Deltic is sold out on the Hornby site and the there are circa 65 ddc ready ones left. Delivery is still a year away so it will sell out. Nothing stops them increasing the volume made again again again again … 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted December 12, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2023 The important question is of course: is this the most tedious ever thread on RMweb, even amongst the stiff competition of the Hornby section? I'm tempted to start one entitled "In which we drone on at excruciating length about Hornby's business practice, until our own major intestines, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leap straight up through our necks and throttle our brains" just to attract off-topic posts discussing details of the actual models. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynical might think that had something to do with a competitor also developing one How could you possibly think such a thing!!! I'm quite sure you'll find the fact is that someone wrote Class 71 on a post-it note 10 years before therefore claiming everlasting exclusing rights to developing a model 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could so easily for the next batch go with the plastic body, for all we know that might be in their plans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
