NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I guess also spoilers the point of those extras, if they all arrive at once. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just possibly, after everything settles down, things will be more organised, Maybe next year things will come along a bit quicker..... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Perhaps. The relaunch of the club I do believe was late, so this could be why the badge and the 0-4-0 loco's this year are late. Perhaps everything, well all of the extra's, like the locomotives, badges, etc will arrive when somebody signs up to the club / renews their memership.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Wear them!; Or if you are me, I would not wear them, but instead I would build up a little collection of them and then sell them on eBay, eventually! 😆 I would keep them sealed in their packets, so effectively, they would be brand new, but a few years old.

RDS Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 ... I would keep them sealed in their packets ... That's what I thought - so it doesn't really matter if it comes this week or next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 RDS, no I guess it doesn't really matter when they come, or if they ever arrive at all! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have lots of them - still in their bags! Why would you take them out of the bag? It's like the numerous free loco's collected over the years - there still in their boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 More or less that same as mine, but I have also shifted most of them on, by selling them on eBay. The only two I kept was 2004's Virgin Diesel Shunter and 2008's Pullman Diesel Shunter. The other's I sold, some year's ago. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TATICMOOR Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 When Hornby brought the Collector Club in house, the Welcome Letter, the Membership Card (which was basically attached to your welcome letter as a plastic coated popout card), the Collector Magazine, and the Badge all came wrapped in an outer A4+ sized card folder. The usual 0-4-0 Locomotive was then received around September or the following months, depending on your renewal date to the club. This was the norm for a few years, before the newest revamp of the club by Hornby. So like the rest of you, I have received my Welcome Letter, Memebership Plastic Card followed by the first next numbered Collector Club Magaine. I assume the Badge will follow at some stage between now and the Club Loco Model release. The club Badges I have kept stored away until I find a nice sized opening box frame to pin the Badges into as a keepsake, and have them hanging together on the wall in my layout room.In fact only last week after it sold out quite quickly as a pre-order on the Hornby Club website page a few years ago. I was pleased after lots of outbidding I got the last club loco of the Limited Edition 0-6-0 Terrier "Sutton" K&ESR R3248. I evenually bought one via eBay at a verily good price (£70 MIB) than the £100+ mark up prices. The same way the current H Class 0-4-4 SECR loco for this year is being sold on the Hornby Club page.I have still got all my CC & Plus magazines, Badges, Club Locos. Plus the Yearly Annual Wagons, Annual Roadshow Wagons (sadly now stopped and I miss collecting them), Annual Christmas Wagons (except 2006), Fathers Day, Hamleys and other annual special Hornby wagons like the 50th and Vistors Centre Wagons. One thing I do miss not having is a full proper A4 sized Hornby Catalogue than the little booklet release. I have found the catalogues handy as reference guides for Hornby stock. To look up the items that I have bought later after there release, especially those unboxed for the year they were released and R numbers etc for my own MS Word stock database. Sorry I went off topic there, but besides the annual Badge what has missed being made for a few years, I think it is also important for other annual collectables to get a little mention as they have stopped being produced by Hornby. So please Hornby bring back the annaul Roadshow wagons and back date them from the last year it missed being released, and I would still like the missing full catalogue too.

dynax Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just out of interest - what will members do with their badgesI might put it up on ebay with a bin of £10,000, someone with more money than sense would probably buy it 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I highly doubt nobody would place a bid, without amout as the starting bid and somebody would have no unerstanding in money to buy a badge for £10,000! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edvard4 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Perhaps Mr Kohler could shake up the distribution of member ship packs, the speed of delivery and the contents. The old membership was not quite fit for purpose, the new one seems to fall short on delivery expectation. That said, the content is good, a new "master" at the helm too. Some shortfall on the "package too", have the benefits been reduced... look closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Don’t forget the new club was launched a little late, which does mean most of the additional bits and pieces will be delivered late to the members. I should think that the badge and the locomotive will arrive at the start of the year, from 2019‘s membership year onwards. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Cat Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Very pleased when my badge arrived with the summer edition of The Collector this morning!! A fine badge it is too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Badge arrived....Check! With Magazine....Check! Both the 'Club Exclusive' H Class and the Club 218 GWR 101 Loco 'will now be arriving in January 2019. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.' A very prototypical 'late running' announcement. Our local station announcer couldn't have done it better! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
