RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hello there ! Quite simple, I disagreed because it was off topic as well as the posts before. I am really looking forward for the Sentinel and hope to get informations about that model and its delivery in this thread. So I am disappointed to read things about other models. But don't take it too serious ! Best wishes Dirk Rather an odd thing to do, it has to be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crantock Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Well you might expect them to be first available at some great big event on November 23/24th. I have pre-ordered a Tarmac one on the basis I can easily cover the Tarmac logo with a nameplate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted November 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is this Sentinel the same as the forthcoming Hornby offering? If so I may have to get one for Nangullow main Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is this Sentinel the same as the forthcoming Hornby offering? If so I may have to get one for Nangullow main The Hornby is the four wheel version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 No, Sentinel made 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 variants with either chain drive or outside coupling rods, the one in the photo is, obviously, an outside rod 0-6-0 whereas Hornby are offering the 0-4-0 without the outside rods. The one in the photo looks like it's had a bit of a thump on the leading end with that raked back buffer beam and bonnet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The one in the photo looks like it's had a bit of a thump on the leading end with that raked back buffer beam and bonnet. I reckon that the picture is simply snapped or badly scanned, if it's taken from the book I think it comes from... Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted November 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, it has not had a bump it is merely the curve of the page I took a quick snap from, sometimes the obvious does nit always hit you in the face and I should have noticed the 0-6-0 as opposed to the Hornby 0-4-0!

Andy Y Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Any news on their arrival? Not specifically but I believe it to be at the turn of the year which is likely to mean an early-in-the-New-Year appearance on the shelves. The latest pre-prod on Hornby's stand last weekend showed there's been a welcome reduction in the size of the axleboxes and a change in the bottom corners of the bufferbeam.

SDJR7F88 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Wow! Hornby have done a good job! Glad they have made the changes! Can't wait even more to get my hands on the ESSO one now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 1, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Not specifically but I believe it to be at the turn of the year which is likely to mean an early-in-the-New-Year appearance on the shelves.

Before: Sentinel_NCB_1s.jpg Now: Sentinel1s.jpg Neat blanking plate where the tension lock fits. It also looks like they've narrowed the loco and reduced the step out from the side sheets at footplate level. Chain drive locos were flush sided and rod drive locos have a pronounced step because they are wider below footplate level.

Crantock Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hattons email today suggests arriving with them on, or after, Monday 16 Dec. At least for the weathered Tarmac version. Don't see it being with me for Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corax67 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Drat - I was hoping to get mine before Christmas as we have a show in early January and I was hoping to get to play with it beforehand to set up the decoder or hard wire in a different one if no 'tweak ability' is built in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hattons have given the same information about the red Esso one too, on or after the 16th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
