HornbyKiwi Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Okay, I'll have a punt. What about they have one or more of the locos with the steam generator on display.HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORKY. Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 So, the show has been open for half an hour, Rapido and Heljan have made their announcements.......Oh, it's a BR Princess Coronation 4-6-2 "Coronation" No. 46220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 That is incredibly cheap for a Princess Coronation even adding on the £30 Hornby Club fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedCape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Is it railroad quality for that price? Seems very very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 I thought they would have gone all bells and whistles with smoke, etc seeing as it was that special. This looks like a repaint of the old one I have but with a 21-pin socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMac1707817969 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 For £149 I will have one. Wait a minute, not £149, just ordered one, you get the 10% Cub Membership as well so £135. Can't help thinking there has been a mistake here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyinNC Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I will be adding one to my collection. Already have a few of the latest version and price is great for a full spec model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It will be a slightly reduced price anyway being a 'Club Exclusive'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedCape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Put one on pre-order just so I can get in the queue.It’s almost half the price of a modern Hornby steam loco. What’s the catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR1707822112 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Probably poor qualaity control. Oh wait a minute, that's standard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelrow Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Does this mean that the only Special announcement, was the loco release ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Well I don't think it'll be that every Coronation release from now will be at £149 !!Interesting option, and had I the resources, I would have taken a punt - not this time and doubtless they'll appear on Ebay for £200+ fairly soon.Al.

Yelrow Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Agreed, but the expectation, built up, suggested , something Big. Tis a bit of a damp squib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedCape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I have to agree. Another repainted loco, hardly worth a big announcement. I was expecting, hoping for something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I can't see the release of a loco as an 'experience' and wonder whether the Hobby Rewards scheme should have been the major Warley announcement but as the scheme title appeared briefly on the website some days ago, that announcement (more of an 'experience') was brought forward. This, though, then left something to be revealed at Warley. This close to the turn of the year, promotional material for what would otherwise have been a Club 2023 model was undoubtedly well advanced so announcing the Duchess was also brought forward to become the Warley 'reveal' to go some way towards filling what would otherwise have been a somewhat embarrassing void.

Yelrow Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 To make matters worse, its already sold out. Its a shame. I agree with GS, the Rewards scheme would have been a better announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedCape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Maybe it’ll reappear for an “adjusted” price. joyOr scalpers got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Its available on Pre Order, talk of spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedCape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It’s no longer available on pre-order. If you click pre-order, it says they are out of stock of that item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 No wonder it is out of stock, that is an incredibly cheap price. So why was it not set at the same price as the Queen Elizabeth 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR1707822112 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I reckon it's either an older tooling, or they just mistyped it, and Hornby are Hornby so they failed to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
