NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 No, the badge never comes inside the box with the loco. The badge comes with the welcome letter and with the membership card. Hornby have probably missed onr out in your pack. You should contact them. The hole in the polysterene you will find packeted vaccum pipes, driver and fireman figures.

Howbi Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The Welcome Letter I received last month states quite clearly that the Badge "will follow shortly" so it is not enclosed with the letter on this occasion.........HB p.s. received my first copy of The Collector magazine today........have to say it is of good quality with interesting articles and very informative.......well done Hornby........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 ... The badge comes with the welcome letter and with the membership card ... Not this year apparently Gordon. The welcome letter says it will follow shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Changed it then with the new club. Either that or the badges were late being made. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 probably from the printing process, but i have a very keen sense of smell, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The odour was quite strong when first released from the plastic bag but once the pages were flicked through a couple of times in the fresh air the smell soon diminished......... 😀..........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph777 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I joined a few weeks ago and I have received nothing. (No word whatsoever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It takes a few weeks before you hear anything (not sure why?). My copy of The Collector arrived today - what an improvement on the old version - a first class product. I'm not sure whether I will keep them long-term, as I've just thrown a full set of the old ones and Collector Plus away - they eventually take up a lot of shelf space.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I find you do have packets of vaccum pipes but not always driver or fireman figures!!! It depends if it's an 0-4-0 locomotive with an open cab, then you get the figures. If closed, then you don't get figures. Just vaccum pipes.

richard_withers Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I think we are going off topic here the topic is when the badge is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Cat Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I received my welcome letter and card ages ago and although it said the badge will follow shortly, it still hasn’t arrived, and not even in the excellent magazine received recently which I think smells great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Have you recieved the locomotive? It will probably arrive in the same parcel, with the locomotive, if you have not yet recieved the locomotive. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The loco is not due until October 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That's very late for the members to recieve in October. Should get it as soon as one signs up. Perhaps the bagde will arive with it, in October! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Cat Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Contacted the club today and they said that as soon as stock comes in the badges will be sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So the badges are not made by Hornby then. They must be made by a contractor company, for Hornby. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Cat Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yes. Would have been nice for everything to arrive at the same time, but as it is, there will always be something to look forward to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
