Howbi Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 You get 4 decent magazines a year worth, say £4 each.A free 0-4-0 loco, probably only worth £20An exclusive model SECR H class with a saving of about £20So in total you get about £56 in value for just £28........but only worthwhile if you want all these items.I enjoy the magazines, I've pre-ordered the H class and the 0-4-0 tank engine becomes a present for my grandson........so I'm happy to be a member............ 😀............HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am happy with the Magazines, which have been well presented so far, the Loco and to support Hornby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Don't forget the Club is new and now in a new format, and maybe in time there will be some exclusive deals for members. Time will tell - better to be "in" than "out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Are the new magazines larger in size, to the old magaxines, in the old club? What I mean by this is, the amount of pages in each magazine, not height and width, of each page! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clickernick Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just enjoying my Winter 2019 copy and it’s not ‘arf bad! A4 in size and 54 page faces to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think the Club is worth £28.00. Renewal should be coming through soon? May be another Club special this year. I've been a member since 2007 - as Howbiman said "the grandchildren" love the free loco - one every year. I think 2019 will be a diesel - I've read it somewhere!

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Bagnall Diesel Sunter in Network Rail livery. Page 3 of the 2019 catalogue shows it's image. I like the RailRoad 0-4-0 diesel shunters and I want this one, so I am considering about rejoining this year. I ended in 2014 and have not experienced the new club yet, so with the club locomotive being one that I like and want, this will help get my money's worth, than get another locomotive in a livery that I don't want.

Slornie Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Oh,cool, a NR yellow shunter for club model? I'm very happy with that, and it certainly makes a change from the usual 0-4-0 steam loco. In fact it reminds me of my old R801 yellow class 06. I've still got it somewhere but as I recall the body clips broke after experiencing more than one speed-related accident (usually involveing a sharp drop to the floor). That thing was quite a rocket! EDIT: Interesting that there's no mention in either catalogue or club magazine of any follow-ups to the H-class club-exclusive model, but I suppose that makes sense seeing as the latter hasn't arrived yet anyway. (wasn't it originally supposed to available last year sometime?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Page 3 of the 2019 catalogue shows it's image. Sorry, it's page 1, not page 3. @Slornie Yes, it's yellow and is the Bagnall Diesel Shunter, not the Class 06, which I'm happy with as I like both. I don't like the made 0-6-0 steam loco liveries that Hornby keep producing as the club models and in the RailRoad range, that was one reason I didn't renew my membership 2014. The last diesel shunter model to be a club loco was in 2008, so another has really been overdue. 11 years later in 2019, we have another.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't know why they still supply the pin badges. Does anybody actually wear these? Pretty useless to me, to be honest. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 EDIT: Interesting that there's no mention in either catalogue or club magazine of any follow-ups to the H-class club-exclusive model Actually, the catalogue does have piece of information about the Hornby Collector Club 'H' Class, as I have typed out here, as it appears in the catalogue's small print on page 1: "Estimated time of arrival is January 2019, but is subject to change." Whether or not does arrive this month, or in March as website says is something different. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The only Hornby RailRoad fictional 0-4-0 steam locomotive I accept, is the iconic Smokey Joe. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slornie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well the Collector Club advert in February's Railway Modeller says "expected January 2019" so who knows when it'll actually turn up! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_hall Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 All these seem interesting benefits to be a club member. I'm wondering tho why my club membership still says processing after 3 days since purchase. And I cannot find the latest issue of the mag on the download page. Is this normal?

Bulleidboy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Give it a few days Sam. Although Hornby is a big name in railway modelling, I doubt whether there is a huge team of people working on membership, probably one or maybe two when annual membership is due. It's the same when you telephone them, there is probably one person who deals with the call and then passes it on to the relevant department, that's assuming they casn't answer your question.

sam_hall Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Just received the club loco. And it is last year's one. GWR 18. Even tho when I phoned them they said that the website was out of date and it was to be the one in the catalogue. Plus none of the other items including the mag have arrived so not going to preorder yet. Not good service so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 @sam_hallI think I read somewhere that when the latest issue of the Collector Magazine comes out, the previous issue is then available for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landcrab Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I rejoined the club last year and so for i only had 2 magazines out of 4i don't think it's worth the mony,with No discount the goods are cheaper at hattons,i think this will be the last year for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Even with discount it was still cheaper at Hattons except Hornby is post free above a certain price. I didn’t rejoin but mainly because I don’t want the free loco, rather have had the voucher they used to do. I thought the magazines were pretty good but didn’t keep them. I'm sure younger modellers love it, they even get excited about the badge. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
