Ours have just arrived in stock. Beautiful loco looks, in my opinion, very nice in LMS black.

Also Mick informed me that at 11am on the Sunday a minutes silence will be held as it is Remembrance Sunday, for all the fallen heroes, animals etc who fought to keep us safe.

The layouts being set up whilst we set up our trade stand looked very impressive! The club stand will be getting some of my money in the morning with two locos put to one side for me for my own layout, renumbered DB Schenker Class 66s by Bachmann. Can't wait for the show!

I went to this show last year as a spectator. Absolutely amazing show and this year it's even bigger! Definitely worth the trip. We'll be there with our trade stand.

It's a south West digital sound, loksound select decoder as fitted to all Bachmann Sound models over the past few years.

Actually the limits came in to effect from September 14th 2018, the day all retailers got the official letter. All new items from that date have the 10% discount rule.

What would make this easier would be it applies from January 1st 2019 rather than from three quarters of the way through the year. We will be honouring all our pre order prices with those who have pre ordered with us. Im hoping we'll get a lot more clarity on this 10% soon as for now it's quite confusing.

That's what I understand from the letter. Any new items arriving from September 14th onwards are subject to the 10% discount for 6 weeks.

I'm very tempted to have one for my own layout as I model 1995 onwards. Decisions decisions....

We've had the letter from Hornby. It arrived Saturday.

Mine arrived today. Very happy with her. So far just a quick test on the shop layout, ran beautifully, next job is sound fitting and also finishing my new layout before I can run anything properly.

Here we go as promised. Mk3s on a straight.

Thank you. The djmodels J94 does run on the shops dcc layout but when not in use sits on the low loader as I think it looks rather good.

Hi. I'll do that tomorrow as it's been manic in the shop today didn't get time.

Our second batch of virgin Mk3s arrived this morning so I took a picture of the couplings on 2nd radius curves. As you can see there's enough of a gap to get round them. I also tried my kadee 19s and they worked fine too. Hope this helps.

They are having computer issues and can't update their stock levels so you have to phone them to place your order.

I ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait for her to arrive. When I've finished building my new 14' x 12' dcc sound layout she'll get a full running in, until then she'll have to stay in her box apart from a quick test on our shops dcc layout of course.

Hi, I'm afraid not. As we have now sold out of our first batch we can't do anymore testing. When our next batch arrives we can.

Hi. They are tension lock.

Hi. In a sealed detailing pack there are two medium NEM couplings and extra buffers.

Tested ours in the shop today and they went round a 180 degree 2nd radius curve and no issues.

We opened our pre order book for 37025 last night and only 24 hrs later we've had more orders than I expected for a 24hr period. It's going to be a very popular model!

Hi Jim, it is the north west of England and Scotland region.

Our charity raffle for a Hornby Thomas the Tank Engine Train Set will take place on Saturday 15th September between 12 and 1. Hornby have very kindly donated the prize with all proceeds going to Guide Dogs for the Blind, which is our chosen charity for the next two years. There will be a free buffet and refreshments available in the shop, whilst it lasts, and no doubt some special offers too. Thank you to everyone who has already bought raffle tickets to support our chosen charity. Tickets remain on sale in the shop (and have also been available at the various events we've been attending since May), until just before the draw takes place. We look forward to seeing you all for the draw, which will also be live on our Facebook group.
