Rallymatt Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 A3 Trigo has arrived, I ordered non digital because I had spare HM DCC decoders bought on the double points deal and it was being shipped earlier. Really hoping that as this is a later build model I don’t have any reason to call the lovely ladies in CS 🫰Extra News…..I hear the digital versions have also arrived 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railbob Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Oh !! Thanks for the update Rallymatt , it looks like my bank account is going to be lighter by the end of the day 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris98 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Trigo, flying scotsman and silver king (digital) have arrived at hormby, just waiting to be dispatched. An expensive month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just need the Eastern Sound Fitted set to arrive, and I'll have some track to run my Flying Scotsman on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM67 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Similar for me. I'm waiting for the DCC Blink Bonny set to run mine - the android version of the app would be useful as well!I can't do too much with mine until I move to a bigger house as there's no where to set it up other than temporarily on the dining table however I'm keen to make the most of the 15% discount whilst I can.

Fishmanoz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Interesting not the DCC sets yet. I figure they are held pending the correct adaptor cable for the (DC) PSU in the sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I thought the sets were just getting the P9100 PSU and the existing cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Dublo2 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 They might be holding the DCC sets for the Android App - as no Android is not a major issue if you have a DCC controller and don't mind waiting for when you can upload the correct sounds, but no Android is a huge issue if the DCC set is a starter set for someone that has no access to a suitable controller (and doesn't own an Apple phone or tablet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I thought they were being held for the Android app, sure that was mentioned on one of the YT vids they did recently. Seems silly to me as the IOS app is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Holding the sets back until the Android app is released makes a lot of sense given the market they’re aimed at. Presumably they’re packed with instructions that assume the Android app is released (QR code etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Only my speculation on the adaptor cable.For me it is unlikely they’ll include the P9100 as it’s more expensive than the 500mA DC PSU and the set is really cheap. Compare it to the bundle - take out the decoder and it’s £100 cheaper than the bundle and then has a further 15% member discount not available for the bundle. All you get extra in the bundle is one coach, one track pack and a dirt cheap controller and they don’t add to £100. That’s a lot of money for a loco that says Flying Scotsman instead of Blink Bonny.

Dodge1965 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Fishy,It does state this on the website for one of the sets, i know the website isn't always right...1 x Locomotive, 3x Coaches, 1x Transformer, 1x Rerailer, 1x 3rd Radius Starter Oval with Track Pack 1 - Controller not included – app control based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 For the Scotsman it says:1 x Locomotive, 3 x Coaches (with lights), 1 x Transformer, 1 x Controller, 1 x Rerailer, 1 x 3rd Radius Starter Oval with Track Pack 1 - Controller not included – app control basedSame as you found Dodge except + controller - controller. And not which PSU and no adaptor cable. Like you say, often not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_watts1 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Sound fitted locos available to buy, hopefully this means the android app will be here very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 There seems to be a new label applied to the newly arrived sound fitted locos and the upcoming digital sets - “2023 launch”. Not aware of that being there before.Edit: something else to annoy those of us irritated by the inconsistency on the website - it’s applied fairly randomly, including to just 2 items in the rolling stock category… a blue/grey Mk3 and a GWR Mk3 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 I would be disappointed in Hornby as a business if they were genuinely holding back HM DCC product until an android version of the app is available. As a shareholder I would be demanding the CEO’s head on a plate! iOS is available now, DCC is available now, a suitable iOS device can be bought for £50 …why would you hold up product that can be sold today? Of course it’s none of these things, the data indicates the majority of digital model railway customers use iOS devices, the delays are really something much more mundane 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moccasin Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Given that none of the sets are currently available, neither analogue nor digital, it’s probably not a case of holding back at all. Just that the next batch of sets aren’t ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sets were available and decoders were available but not digital sets at that time. As far as I can see then, the only non-common item was the cable adaptor and this is still not available, assuming it is a new one for the DC PSUs.

PeterM67 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 There's something else available - BUNDLEH23 "The Trigo Bundle". Just like the other bundles there is an oval of track + track pack 1 and they have partnered it with the 3 existing tankers and a brake van so we finally have a freight train set of sorts.
