    Did they get to keep the core items they wanted though?
  2. Bucoops
    No worries. To be honest I'd forgotten I ordered them, so was a bit "Eh?" when the invoice came in. It's for a VERY long term project.

    I just got an invoice for a set of these so might be worth trying again now - https://invertrain.com/product/lner-clip-top-buffers/

    You clearly didn't look after them very well then?

    Wow, what a mess Really don't envy anyone involved in trying to get it sorted and something resembling a service going again. Regarding galvanic corrosion, my first "introduction" to it was when I learned that Morris Minor travellers have an aluminium rear roof - hence the rubber strip separating it from the roof over the front seats (and the body it sits on is timber) - which means it makes a REALLY good radio aerial!

    That's an exceptionally neat condemned marking.

    Egg dishes? Omelette Express. Fried Egg flyer. Scrambled South-western.

    To be honest, not sure. But Hornby Pre-order cancellations in general certainly haven't been limited to just Hattons.

    Great work!

    Maybe someone should make some Roxanne nameplates?
  11. Bucoops
    That's fine but there's no guarantee that shop will get their allocation either going by the number of shops having had to cancel pre-orders.

    And it worked, many thanks!

    It's OK, it's all in hand.

    Of course, it's from a proper railway

    Interesting in these days of lawyers that Hitachi are noted as apologising - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57036247 - I'm sure many would take that as an admission of guilt.

    Dang, the whole service really has fallen over.

    I'm pretty sure I actually have one of these - might even have a brass plaque instead of it just being part of the moulding. If it's worth more than a couple of ££ I'd be surprised.

    Abandoned rails - most of the ECML today For reference this is because of the Hitachi units being checked for cracks.

    "Very good, like new!" New as in just dug out the ground? Missing chimney, two buffers and generally ready to go on a shovel into a firebox.

    I'm really torn on it. I want one but I see all these retailers getting bashed for something that on the face of it really isn't their fault. But I also want a prototype one and lottery wins to spend that much have been a bit sparse recently
  22. Bucoops
    Not really. Every unit will need checking, and they have presumably been doing this through the night to get units back into service as soon as possible, but even when they are cleared for use, they will be in the wrong place, train crew hours might be an issue and so on. It's a complete mess so the do not travel advice is spot on.
  23. Bucoops
    Ouch, but safety comes first of course. Don't envy the customer service staff of the affected TOCs...
  24. Bucoops
    Great thank you Have passed that on.

    Quick question @AY Mod - do you remember what the setting was as a friend's son has done a google docs questionnaire for research for a project and we're seeing the sign in loop? Thank you
