Haven't got one of the new £5 notes yet?

How about this one?

Any reason why Triumph appeared to prefer setting the windscreen wipers for LHD on RHD cars....?

Hi Horsetan

Haven't a clue - I hadn't even noticed.  I had noticed that the wipers were pretty rubbish at clearing the screen and that was on our back roads with no spray from other vehicles.

The only Triumph that I recall having wipers the "right" way round was the Stag. They did a pretty good job of clearing the screen as well, unlike the Dolomite and big saloon ranges.

I thought that when I first saw the pic of the car, but then when I looked at the colour chart again Wedgewood looks a bit dark to me.

It's Wedgewood.

I have received a £100 voucher from Hornby as well but looking on the Hornby site there is nothing I actually want. Ideally I would like another early class 31 but none are available so I may wait a while and hope there is no expiry on the voucher.

Correct. I did double check Hattons order confirmation aswell jsut to make sure I had ticked the Royal Mail option.

 

I had a very quick response from Hattons with some options so hopefully it will get resolved.

 

I will post the outcome in due course.

Hi Ian

I'm sure Hattons will see you OK. I have dealt with them for years and they are one of the best. My previous post was really to warn others regarding Yodel but it is easy to make a mistake when ordering as the RM and Y options are right next to each other so it was worth checking.

Has any one had the following happen to them recentyl?

 

Up till now I have always selected delivery via Royal Mail. They confirmed this recent order as via Royal Mail. However the second email stated that it will be delivered via Yodel (which I didnt spot till now).

 

We prefer Royal Mail as we can pick up from the sorting office next to the station before we catch the train to work, so this has worked well on all previous orders from Hattons.

 

We got a Yodel slip through the door the other night with nothing filled in including  no reference on it. The mobile number for contacting them had been crossed out and a handwritten mobile number added. This I was immediately suspicious of as a scam.

 

However, on checking Hattons second email notifying on the order being packed, it sates sent by Yodel. Not a lot of use to us as we are rarely about to wait for couriers. 

 

I have emailed Hattons so will see what their response is.

 

I am curious if others have had this.

I have loads of deliveries sent to my business address and of all the delivery companies out there Yodel are about the worst. Well that is my experience anyway. I am waiting for a delivery from Hattons now and it should be coming by Royal Mail.  If I remember correctly there is a delivery option on Hattons site for 2 day Royal Mail or Yodel 24 both at £4, I chose RM and I would advise everyone else to do the same.

R4577 @ £35 (rrp) on Hornby's website. Seems to be OOS ATM but why not wait rather than paying £79?

 

Are they a 'limited production'?

 

Not as such. Hornby just didn't make enough to satisfy the demand and they all sold out in a matter of days. I bought all 3 of the new Hornby Thompsons for £85 a few weeks back.

How about this Hornby Thompson brake.

I had a delivery from Rails yesterday and also one from Hattons. I ordered from them on the same day earlier in the week, so excellent service both companies.

I have to agree with everyone, this certainly looks to be a superb model of the Deltic.

As for short trains for it to haul I remember staying in the north for a few days as a child and a green Deltic came by every day with two pullman cars and possibly a full brake; on its way to Harrogate maybe?
