How come a simple forum site becomes to complicated to use I find it to hard to navigate and I will try for a couple of days if unable to use it. I will no longer bother to use it Gordon

Early in February when tracking my delivery from Hornby it spent 3 days in Scotland before arriving in Sheffield staying for two days then travelled to near Birmingham and finally to Manchester then delivered to me with two labels covering my address saying in big capital letters DO NOT COVER THE ADDRESS . It took nearly 10 days from the email so it is not only the drivers but warehouse staff too

When checking my club renewal date from last year I noticed that my completed last year orders are showing dispatched on 7th February 2023 including my membership. Has anyone noticed the same in your order section. Gordon

Just received my copy of this months RAILWAY MODELER detailing some of the new 2023 products which are very interesting

The S9684 underframe for R069/070 is available on the ebay site in model railways if this what you need Gordon

@ Topcat I have checked one of my ringfield motor with screw fittings The pickup connection screw does not make a connection to the motor chasis so is ' live' therefore the hole must be slighly larger The other brush connection is earthed by the screw thus when fitting a decoder it has to be isolated hence the plastic screw removing the earth with the side connection lifted away from the chassis Gordon

@ topcat The several types of ringfield brush holder fittings The installation guide for fitting decoders in the support section shows a picture of the The Flying Scotsman the poster is tying to fit to Gordon

An update from my first post when I asked Is anyone having the same trouble, I contacted Customer Services and a very helpful lady investigated and sorted out my queries saying that two preorders where in one box and one preorder packed separately and I should have within a day of each other. I also received a refund on the delivery charges for the combine box The orders have now arrived packed well with no damage. I also got the impression that they are aware of the problems some of us have been having. Gordon

Having received a 3 emails on the 7/12/21to say my preorders have been process and my account |charged paying Postage for each order then 6 days later to receive 2 emails from Hermes to say two where on the way. However when trying to track the two the site says they do not recognise the link. It is now over 9 days will I ever receive them before Christmas. Will contact and complain to Customer services tomorrow VERY BAD service this time Is anyone having the same trouble Gordon

Received this years 2021 wagon (R60015) in the middle of August from Hornby as a preorder Looks as if out of stock that is why it is not listed. Dealers may have some if you shop around. Gordon

@ LukeTrainsPlanes I received this e-mail last week Firstly, thank you for joining the Hornby 2021 Club. Please accept our apologies regarding the delay with the club welcome pack distribution. Due to the transition to the new website, we have only received the data needed for the administration of the welcome pack this week. Please be advised we will be working to have these dispatched to you in the coming week. If you have any problems or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the Hornby Customer Service team Gordon

I have just open the box set I bought last Christmas and it has R 609 curves which is radius three. Plus one half straight and a half power connection straight. Might run ok on radius two curves but have not tried Gordon

@ Schuie52 If the unit was stripped as you said, has the axles been inserted in the correct order the black plastic gear fits on the knarled axle the other two are plain ones Another problem I have had is the black is slipping or has a crack and will not grip so no drive to the wheels hope this helps together with the other suggestions Gordon

Poeple are trying their best In these trying times patience is a virtue and required by all There are more important things like health and keeping free of the virus with people having to work at home like the Hornby staff and some not being able to work because their work place has closed down Gordon

There are three chassis on a well known auction site for Hornby pendolino tonight

I received this year 2020 model last week after rejoining in January So they are becoming available. The badge and welcome letter came yesterday. Gordon

Just received my copy of the book Its will worth its price and full of imformation about Hornby over the years Gordon.

Last year all my preorders in January had card problems and had to telephone each time to comfirm the order and was accepted with the same card each time. In February 19 when I renewed membership on line the card was excepted with no problem So the fault lies with the preorder system This year so far no problem (yet) Gordon
