Alannora Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I re- joined the Collectors Club after a 2 year gap immediately I saw the unbelievable 200 item plan for Coronation. I believe I placed an immediate order, but this month I found out that my order may have jumped the gun and so was not recognised. My Collecting is now doomed to be forever incomplete, so why should I continue.I invite all Hornby Supporters, but especially members of the the Collectors Club, to join me in DEMANDING that Hornby re introduce this loco to the range, packed identically as the original batch and with a Certificate starting at 201.

96RAF Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 You could start by asking Simon Kohler nicely to consider extending the limited edition, noting that would devalue the original allocation. Demanding is likely to get you nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alannora Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Thank you 96RAF. Of course you are right, my disappointment, at being denied after waiting for 3 months for confirmation that one was on its way to me, took over. Yes! Please Simon, please, please , initiate a second batch, but do so exactly per the original in order to maintain the concept of a Set, available to all Hornby Collectors rather than another variation to be obtained. All the new production could carry the Certificate Numbers 1 or 500, no matter how many they are.Perhaps an approach from the Forum invigilators to Simon would be effective.

Brew Man Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 If you wish to appeal to Simon you would need to do it by direct email as he doesn't routinely read these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb1961 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Which 'CORONATION 'model are you referring to, is it the blue coronation train . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 R30283 BR Coronation Class 4-6-2 - 46220 "Coronation" - which is a Collectors Club Exclusive, was showing as "sold-out". However it is still showing as an item in the shop on this site under locomotives as available to pre-order!So I pre-ordered it - all done with no hassle. I have also received an email confirming the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The P2 looks nice, but I'm giving that one a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy-357778 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I would support any request to issue more of the Coronation, R30283 and I agree that a direct, polite but direct, request to Simon Kohler may well have been the best idea. However now that it has been announced that Simon Kohler is leaving to whom should the appel be sent now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 That place would be the new sticky post for suggestions in the Wishlist section of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da220 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Coronation arrived Yes it's arrived and looks a splendid one,lovely to have a good choice of headboards too. Then again been such a collector of this class it's a good addition to have. Plus just ordered the City of London one now.I have to say the City of Lichfield one is still a stunner model too .

Bulleidboy Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 @ Alannora - I think you meant 501 not 201 - it was a limited edition of 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
