No problem, Perhaps should not have tagged onto the waiting decades bit. Hope I did not cause any upset as non intended. Posts are so easy to read the wrong way sometimes.

I am new to this hobby or will be once I receive any of my pre orders. Advertising is very powerful and Hornby attracted me with their range which is brand new and of British locos/rolling stock etc, not from the 50-60s as triang is. I have no interest in other countries railways. Just my opinion for what its worth 😉 (not much)

I am new to this hobby also having been interested from a young age but never having the room to actually build a decent layout. I expect it will be a learning curve once items start to arrive but an enjoyable one. We all have to start somewhere 👍

Same here.

I read somewhere at least twice that Hornby are looking at flying the sets over ??? ?

Got the welcome pack last week and the magazine about an hour ago. I think its a case of patience due to unexpected demand.

To be fair the track packs when I pre ordered them were and always have been advertised as "expected spring 2023" so any sooner would be a bonus.

I'm hoping my tt membership etc is caught up in the postal stikes. I have had no post for a week and post lady said they have a very large backlog. It could be the same for others?

Pretty much the same for me, Easterner pre ordeted and a very long wish list. Never had the space for an 00 layout but I can fit a good sized tt layout in the space I have.

Double track helix or is one already available? Any one know

Well done Hornby. I have just pre ordered the easterner set with more to follow. I have wanted to build a layout since I can remember but never had the space with N gauge being far too small and 00 being just too big. A happy medium!
