Mine arrived yesterday, very pleased with it

As always more than enough in the new range for me and my bank balance (too much if I'm honest), still like to see some freightliner green locos in the railroad range but hey ho, can't have everything.

Agree, I put in a request last year and got a vague reply. It's not going to happen I guess until the mail coach set is sold out

Freightliner Class 66 (green/yellow or orange) and Class 70 would be nice, preferably Railroad plus. Highly detailed models are out of my price range and even second hand versions of these are a bit steep as they seem to be very desirable

Its not the time that is the issue

Just received this notification from another retailer; "We're sorry to inform you that we have had to cancel your pre-order(s) for: R60014 Triple pack of 4 wheel Liverpool and Manchester flat wagon. We are not able to acquire the stock to allocate to your pre-order." This is not the first time this has happened to me this year for pre-orders for the 2021 range and I find it very discouraging that manufacturer and retailer can't seem to get their acts together to avoid this. Fortunately in both cases I was able to reorder direct from Hornby which further adds to the bafflement of why/how this situation occurs. It also makes me wonder if it is worth the risk placing pre-orders with anyone other than Hornby in the future.
