David, and another set for my Fowler, please.... Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! Last weekend I recieved my blue Sentinel (with a delay of a few weeks just for economic reasons; a friend brought it over to the continent to save the postage) and I am very pleased with it. O.k., one side panel is a little bit bent inwards but that shouldn't be a problem to fix it. I have to paint them from the inside anyway to take them their see trough appearance. With a rod-driven version as a drawing already in the instruction sheet and mentioned on the small sheet with the prototype information plus the axles already extended we now 'only' need a new cosmetic side frame plus cranks and rods. We should now let Hornby know our strong wish for a rod-driven version of that nice loco, shouldn't we ? I have already send a mail to them... Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! Chris,can we have the centre-cab Fowler as the next Ixion loco please ? Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! Hello 'SDJR7F88' thank you very much for your efforts. A very nice surprise at Christmas ! Your video gives a very good impression of the Hornby Sentinel. May I ask you what for a funny hat you were wearing in the first part of your video ? Thanks also to 'richard37760' for the pictures of the blue version of that nice model. So I am looking forward to get mine then. Best wishes and a pleasant Christmas Dirk

Hello there ! Concerning the date of delivery I found them by chance on ebay as a 'buy it now' offer from the seller 'jadlamracing'. See for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Loco-R3179-Esso-Sentinel-0-4-0-Sentinel-/390716150601?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5af87f5349#ht_2427wt_1170 Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! Quite simple, I disagreed because it was off topic as well as the posts before. I am really looking forward for the Sentinel and hope to get informations about that model and its delivery in this thread. So I am disappointed to read things about other models. But don't take it too serious ! Best wishes Dirk
