The photos in the new train terminal post look like really good news. Based on the Class 08 timescales, from engineering sample images to release was about six months or so? Meaning it would seem reasonable to expect those models before the end of the year?

As others have said, the original free membership (including a 15% discount plus free points) was a good deal. The current £30 with no discount doesn’t seem worth it to me. It’s a real shame as the discount definitely encouraged me to spend more, I don’t know if the discount continues for early adopters if we pay for a second year.

That’s good to hear. I’m guessing it’s just some update glitch on the website. Even if it wasnt I’d hope that you could get things sorted using your order confirmation e-mails as proof. After all, it’s not in Hornby interest to damage relations with the core customers for TT.

I have a 3020M class 66 and some tankers on preorder from a few months ago. My orders seem fine so far. Several people have reported issues now, hope there’s not a problem with the website.

I was sure I’d seen a 2024/2025 date listed too. Glad someone else saw it. Maybe it was a typo that’s since been fixed. :)

Love the welding light. Would be great addition to an electric unit too.

My order seems fine. Which version did you order? Mine is a non-sound standard version TT3012M so maybe there is a difference between non-sound and DCC orders?

You’re correct. It’s 2024 not 2025 (poor reading abilities on my side).

I’m hoping we get a bit more info on expected release dates for the later phases. I’m really looking forward to the Class 37 / Class 31 and the J94. Those are currently phase 3/4 which I had thought meant they’d be available in the 3rd or 4th year of production. However some of the Phase 2 locos are now listed as 2025 releases so I’m wondering if phase 3/4 might actually be a lot further away. Anyone able to shed some light on the dates?

I’ve got one on order. It’s showing up in my list of ordered stock and all look normal. I’m in the UK. Are you ordering from a different country? Is your credit card valid until after the expected release date? Did you definitely check the ‘accept conditions’ tick box on the order page? Seems strange that it wouldn’t work for you otherwise?

Cancelling pre-orders then expecting customers to re-order at a higher price would seem like a good way to lose any goodwill. Doesn’t seem likely Hornby would do that?

Nope, not feeling cheated. Certainly a bit impatient for some more BR blue diesels though ;) Very much looking forward to the Class 37s.

I ordered digital version of Trigo and I got an email yesterday saying it’s being dispatched. So yes, it seems like both versions are in stock now.

It’s a great looking loco. Really impressed with it. Hopefully the other early BR Blue stock comes soon. :)
