david_watts1 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Arnold HN9519 DR double decker coaches from Hattons. New £147 plus £4 postage arrived within 48 hours. Bargain !! The saving on retail will pay for the 2 6pin chips should I decide to fit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Yesterday received 3 Pullmans from my local Aust supplier (Hobbyco) with price approximately the same as the current Hornby UK price with Member discount. The shipment now in Aust was obviously priced prior to the recent increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Great news Fishy….. would be nice for you guys to get a break on the prices and deliveries! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby11 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Got a blood and custard coach yesterday! Shame they aren't doing blue/grey Mk1s, though. Also got a Piko BoBo electric brand new half price from their retail shop near where we were staying in Germany, not sure what i'll do with it, though! Two BTTB locos and a coach from a retailer in Nuremburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robc058 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 3 blood and custard mk1 coaches - look great.Completion of Scalescenes medium station, now the 3rd station for the layout and I need to site it which will mean building 2 more platforms.

Fishmanoz Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 About $500 worth of track in R2-R4, L and R points and (read it and weep) lots of straight track!I’m running out of excuses to get serious on the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See See Rider Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Three MK1 blood & custard coaches including brake. 48 hour service too, pleasing. hi there - my set of the blood & custard is hopefully waiting for me at my office which i cannot unfortunately get to for a week - can i ask - do they also have the curve scraping issue that the maroon ones have?

potmill bridge Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 No curve scraping at all, they are very free running. Hornby seem to have addressed the issue of the protruding tabs, so happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Some Threadlock 222 purple in case those little screws decide to undo themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM67 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 A bumper day to day. I received 4 x blood and custard MK1 coaches, a conrod spanner which I have a feeling is going to come in very useful and most importantly 2 x HM7000-N18TXS decoders which will sit on a shelf awaiting the arrival of my HST exec at some point in the distant future.I was able to use the discount code that Hornby sent me on this order so all good grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Some fabulous 3D printed and beautifully painted cars…Boss at the chemical factory has a very nice Volvo Amazon Estate, the sales manager has a Triumph. Local taxi firm at High Fell use a MK1 Ford Cortina estate for the station runs. Meanwhile a VW Type 3 (variant) is parked up at the Railway Cottages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Flying Scotsman bundle arrived today, and very quickly for overseas shipping I might add - bravo Hornby for that.She looks lovely and runs on analog.

Dave the Busker Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Ah that's a pity, hopefully he sees it going well enough to add some more designs. Mine arrived this morning along with some coal for the wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 LNER brake van and some more track arrived today. I'm finding I'm enjoying watching the little freight train go round, and it looks at home in my town, more than the big A1/4 expresses. Hopefully it's not going to be an eternity until Hornby (or someone else) gets some little steam tank engines out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
