  1. I think Fran and Mc C both mentioned in previous posts that no money is required to be paid until the pre ordered items are in stock....
  2. Still shown on the official OR website as £19.95 RRP for all variants, but I fully expect this will change. Rails of Sheffield for example have it listed for pre-order for £16.95!
  3. Sounds as though it's a gearing problem. I recently had a similar issue with a loco drive A4 as you describe. Fortunately, Ian of Redgate Models (RM Web member) was able to help. Definitely worth a PM!
  4. It was my understanding from previous posts/Hornby that spare lamps and irons would be interchangeable to give the purchaser a choice. I get the distinct feeling the lighting issue will be the same as on the Turbomotive.
  5. Who's moaning exactly? Not me as I won't be buying and will wait for one of the new manufacturers to produce a better representation of the 8F. I'm just pointing out the obvious!
  6. But why should any prospective purchaser have to replace parts on a new loco costing £225 discounted?
  7. Having seen this latest Hornby release today at my local model shop, I think I'll wait for one of the "New Kids on the Block" to produce an all new 8F. IMHO, very much an open goal!
  8. Lendons is another spares emporium where you may source such items.
  9. Bure Valley Models have the recently released Hornby 2MT in black/green, early and late crest on offer at between £164 and £172! "nlarge. Hornby - R3836 - BR, Standard 2MT, 2-6-0, 78047 - Era 5 £ 164" https://www.burevalleymodels.com/p/17214/R3836---BR-Standard-2MT-2-6-0-78047---Era-5#:~:text=enlarge.,£ 164.00
  10. A similar experience to yourself Dan. I returned two 60009 Union of SA models from two separate sources with identical defects. The same response from Hornby as yourself, no spare parts and they were unable to repair the locos concerned. I cut my losses and am really glad I did, as I've received a perfect and free from defect 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower!
  11. And especially now Mike as the newly tooled Bachmann 47's are being discounted. I might wait for the inevitable price reductions later in the year, before I add a FYE, green liveried 47 to supplement my collection.
  12. A much better proposition compared to some variants of the latest Hornby Dublo GG releases. Enjoy!
  13. Maybe Union of SA was a Friday afternoon loco lol? 😊😊
