Like many expats, I deal mainly with Kernow through the "net". Always provide good reliable service. Have managed 2 visits though in 2008 and 2013, both very enjoyable. One thing not mentioned is that just across the road is a lovely craft shop that my wife heads straight for, so we can both have fun!

Is it just me or when you look at this do you see a cunningly disguised 47xx? Probably too many mushrooms................

Kernow have the P2, L1 and Castles all showing up. The proverbial "slow boat from ...." must have arrived!

BR Maroon versions now showing in stock at Kernow, wallet emptied!

Thanks "DropTheTap", I thought I was going barmy... I agree though, all advantage of using DHL has gone out of the window, and I am just concerned that it does not happen again, they need to spell out the conditions etc so it can be avoided or simply add a rider that the DHL charge may vary from the UKP17 they quote depending on size and volume. And, I still don't see how 1 loco, 1 wagon and a set of loco crew is bigger in weight and volume than a complete train set!!!!! I phoned Hattons and am still waiting for a reply on that one, but then it is Bank Holiday..... Oh and because of that my order will not be disatched until Tuesday..... This will probably be the slowest ever DHL to Australia...

I recently placed an order with Hattons to be delivered to Oz via DHL. Unlike other orders I heard nothing for 48 hours so I emailed them to ask what had happened and received the following reply, Dear Stephen, Thank you for your e-mail and order. I have looked into your order for you, and our warehouse team have been in contact with ourselves in regards to postage option. Due to DHL going by the size and weight of the parcel's, when we have gone to pack your order we have been informed by the carrier that it would be and additional £4.13 to have your order sent by them. We just need you to confirm that you are happy for us to charge your card the additional £4.13, and please accept our apologies for the delay on dispatching your order.

Has anybody else???????????????? All sounds a little odd to me.........

I won't have these problems, my set will be staying on the layout! The problem with high demand and limited production is that Hornby are playing right into the hands of the ebay "scalpers" - what price will these sets be fetching on ebay soon if no further production is scheduled?

Have received the following email from Hattons, it does not sound to me like any more are coming in July........ What on earth is going on these days? Hello This is an email to let you know that the following item has been cancelled from production, and so we have cancelled it from your order – reference xxxxxxxx. If this was the only item on that order, then it will be cancelled, otherwise, the order will remain on our system with the other items. Hornby Model Railways R4534, which you can see at http://www.ehattons.com/stockdetail.aspx?SID=51234 We are unsure of the specific reason for the cancellation, and will try to keep its descriptive text updated to provide any information which the manufacturer releases. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

Had an email from Hattons telling me that they had removed the coach sets from their website because with all of the pre-orders still to be fulfilled they will have no stock left! Looks like Hornby have a real winner here............ Thanks Butler Henderson and Stevelewis, I have ordered one successfully from Model Railways Direct, the value of RM Web shows once again.

Thank you Kernow, another reason to hang on and shuffle around this mortal coil for a little longer. Any chance of an Adam's radial for 2013? I'll even fly over to collect it!
