Hornby 125's

[hst125]

Hi all , 

i gather Hornby are having issues in getting the new products to england. I have had the new class 43 hst on order since September this year. Hattons says it was going to be with them from 16th December and i have heard nothing. Hattons say it is on the way but can not guarantee a date for dispatch. The model no is R3138. Is anyone else waiting for this model as it is a westcountry 125 in br blue ??? Has anyone heard anything. I believe this item has been put back several times over the last 6 months. Also there does not seem to be any other products coming in. May be they are stuck in a container in a port somewhere ???? any ideas or news ???

Except that they still intend to make it and I'm happy to buy one when it finally appears!

There are many threads on here explaining the supply situation of products not coming out of China at the moment, and a very good letter in the back of the latest Model Rail. All I can say is be patient. It will appear one day.

I spoke to Rails of Sheffield today as I have had R3138 on order for 18 months now, they say that until Hornby get back from their Christmas break they won`t know of any delivery date.

The worrying thing is the continued soaring cost of this model!
