More about Coronation

[Alannora]

I have missed out on obtaining a coronation Coronation due to the quantity being limited to 200. This compares with 2000 + for the Elizabeth 2, and thus likely prevents me ever obtaining a “set”.

Please see my blog on the Collectors Club selection of this forum and join with me in pushing Hornby to re introduce this loco exactly as batch 1, and at £149.95, and so provide it for all rather than just for eBay investors or millionaires.

I bought one, I just replied to the mail shot I got. At the price it was good value most modern Duchess/City locos are a lot more that is why I bought it and it will definitely run on my layout. I didn't realise it was only 200, special edition locos are only worth a lot in the first couple of months of their release. There are still Elizabeth locos on the EBay site not sold. I actually got mine from Hornby at the recommended retail a couple of weeks after they were fetching ridiculous prices on the famous auction site.
