RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Hi. In 'Trains Illustrated - The Last Years Of British Steam, 3;Eastern, North Eastern & Scottish Regions', pages 4 and 5, there are two photo's of J15's. On page 4 it is of 65476 climbing out of Ongar on a special train, April, 1962. It is dual-braked, and is seen working tender first, complete with tender cab. Then on page 5, the photo' shows, as mentioned in the previous post, 65445, dual-braked, near Long Melford on a Cambridge to Colchester train in July, 1958. It is hauling an ex-Southern PMV, and three Gresley corridors - CK, SK and BSK. The model cannot come soon enough! (Have much inspired over the years by this second photo' - a really typical secondary service train). All the best, Market65.

HeavyDuty Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm hoping this will be fairly straightforward to convert to EM - I have a Gibson J15 kit, but having a second would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris demurred in favor of Brassmasters, who intimated (I did not use the word 'promised' or 'intended' or 'planned') that an Easichas might be on the cards. That was a while ago, before I became really handy with a fretsaw, so best to ask again... Best, Marcus Edited November 30, 2014 by EHertsGER Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 10, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hornbys Email recvd this evening states LIMITED quantities of 6 locos are due in this week and earler than anticipated, Pre orders already placed will be processed later this week, further pre orders are invited, but reading between the lines it may be that this delivery will only be distributed to customers direct from Hornby Not sure I would read Hornby's email quite at way. They say the largest delivery since the start of 2014 that includes six brand new locomotives and that "We have a limited amount of stock available via the website, ...". I take this to mean the number being made available for website sales is limited as a part of the whole delivery and that retailers will also get stock. But we shall see...

Great to hear they are on the way! Must say I'm tempted. 6 new locos? Does this mean all 3 versions of the J15, plus 3 version of another new model? Say the 700?

RMweb Gold teaky Posted February 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2015 Or just six in total for the UK? Sorry. Couldn't resist. You do have to wonder though at Hornby's powers of communication. Why can they not word an email to be less ambiguous? (Not read it myself. Just noting that there is already more than one interpretation.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The other 3 are Early crrest version of the K1, Rood Ashton Hall and Star Class British Monarch BR Early Crest Edited February 10, 2015 by Stevelewis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublecee Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 From Hornby's twitter feed. Very nice, and reminds me of their marketing from the 70's and early 80's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 11, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi, doublecee. Thank you for the photo' from Twitter. It is great! Really looking forward to the J15. Yes, it certainly is reminiscent of past marketing. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 There was a LNER J15 listed on Ebay when I looked a few moments ago. I think it was Flair Rail. So they are starting to filter through. I thought that they would be a week or two yet, but obviously Hornby had received them and unpacked them. I can only hope that my order is up the list.

Surely that depends on the instructions Hornby have given to the warehouse operator and the way the warehouse folk put together deliveries for retailersr? In present circumstances, and going on recent form, it will be interesting to see who gets some first especially as they are higher value items with a likely high initial demand.
