Hornby Steam Generator locos, where are they

[ColinB]

To my view Hornby shouldn't even be putting it into a catalogue unless the release date is within the next year. As I have said on many occasions Model Railways and especially Hornby have some weird ways of doing business. I don't order my car and wait 3 years for them to start producing it, even 6 months is too long for a lot of people. I think Covid made things worse, fortunately for Hornby the other manufacturers are only slightly better. Trouble is, as the British Motorcycle industry found out, someone eventually comes along with a different approach and wipes you out.
