steveb860 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Does anyone know where you can get a marker headline part, like a metal etching to attach to the engine. Thought someone must do one somewhere. Any advice? Try reading post 11 & 16 for a suggestion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Took replica to be meaning a copy, rather than the company. Now have them duly ordered. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike tugsandsheds Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I also have one of these on order and have been looking forward to getting one. So, to see if Hornby have done anything about the headlight I dropped them an e-mail last night. Got a rely today and here's the e-mail - Dear Tony, Thank you for your email. I have been speaking with Hornby Marketing and the Engineering department. The lighting surround should have been on the model. We have placed an order for this spare, which will be pre-sprayed yellow. We hope to receive these within the next couple of months. Once we receive the lighting surround I will be happy to send this spare out to you, which can be attached to the model with glue. If you feel that you will not be able to attach the spare with ease please send your locomotive to us and we will do the procedure for you. If you would like to attach the surround yourself please confirm your address and once we have received the spare I will get this sent out. Kind Regards, Sophie Dye Customer Care So it looks like you need to get your details off to Hornby pronto and they will be sending out the surrounds as soon as they get them. The Network rail one is also afflicted email duly sent to Hornby. Many Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just so all those who have purchased the latest class 31's minus headlight sourrounds are aware, I've received a pair of headlight surrounds today, in the post. So if you need these you best let Hornby Customer Care now and it looks like they will be sending them out. Tony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Finally... We now have an RTR mass produced locomotive that even the box shifters are selling at over £100, a 3 figure sum for a locomotive with this headlight problem...i saw this in my local model centre the other day, and having 9 lima 31s requiring replacement when their liveried Hornby counterparts are released this has pretty much put the brakes on this, try as i might i simply cant justify paying over £100 for a non DCC fitted model. Not sure what Hornby are thinking but the end result is my lima fleet have just had a significant life extension...and will probably end up with railroad chassis being fitted. The Signalbox were selling these for £79.99 at Warley today, marked down from £104.99. To be reducing the price to this level so soon after release says to me that Hornby were being rather optimistic setting the RRP at around £130 for a bread and butter diesel model. The market seems to be able to bear this for more specialist models like the 28 or one off prototypes but I have my doubts when it comes to more run of the mill stuff.

dmustu Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Can anyone advise on how to add lenses to the headlights supplied by Hornby? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
