Thanks to Chris Woods and a headsup on possible availability at a stockist I managed to snag their last one. Very happy and as it's being dispatched today, even happier. My earlier despair over my Rails order is ended! Lol! Good luck on the hunt everyone else who has been dissapointed! 

Yes thankyou so much to Chris Woods!

Having had an email on Friday from Rails explaining that although I'd ordered my model (R3819) sometime ago, they were now unable to fulfil my order due to their allocation being cut, which was unfortunate as I'd been looking forward to this for sometime. I subsequently went about contacting many official Hornby stockists, most of which are sold out, as you'd expect. However I did manage to source several (one for me and one for my father). I have since this success been offered several more models, both from Hornby official stockists. 

It is worth checking with stockists if you want one of these models......there's one or two still available. 

ive been looking around and not been able to find anything so very lucky! 

very much a shame to get the same email from Rails.  I wonder if any other stockists also impacted by this or just rails.
