Bulver

I am also that magical age, Graskie. My heart condition is called Brugada, it is all to do with the electrics of the ticker, and it is known as 'the sudden death syndrome'! I have been fortunate that although it is hereditary, it has not killed me off! Had to have an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator fitted 6 mths ago in Harefield Hospital so if the heart does go into flutter or fibrillation it will shock it back to normal. I am one of six siblings , trust me to get the problem (but then I have lost. 3 brothers at very early ages to cancer). So I use model railways, and Hornby in particular, as a form of therapy. (That's what I tell my wife, anyway). My problems seem small compared to yours, if I feel a bit iffy, I sit and look at the forum..........

Not blooming likely! She looks after me too well. And I do most of the cooking........ Seriously though, I had a heart op earlier in the year and she was a star, as were my 2 daughters, so she'll have to kick me out first!

Railroad 'Tornado', lovely model, can't wait to try it (the wife has told me I'll have to wait till Christmas!)

Thanks, I will, but hope you get yours soon Rod

Hi WTD, No, I didn't notify them of that, but since posting my comment (around 15 mins ago) I have received an email telling me they have now processed my order on a 2 day delivery! That'll teach me for griping, but delighted and restored the faith☺️ I was reluctant to moan, as I have a great regard for Hornby, but just had a momentary lapse! Anyway, I hope yours will now arrive promptly

Ordered TTS Duke back in May, received email from supplier in July advising delivery due w/c 15 Sept. As nothing received, contacted supplier who advised they had run out of stock and hoped they would get some more 'soon'. Blasted shame, as this was a gift for a significant birthday. Only wish they hadn't emailed me with a projected date, as the family have been waiting to give this gift. I know that supplies don't always match the quantities ordered by the retailer, but very disappointing and a bit of a let-down, they could have advised me last week this info rather than wait for me to chase.
