JJ73 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 As you know the Hornby Club Model is the Bluebell Railway SECR, H Class, 0-4-4T, No.263, the original date I think for relise was December 2018, then I've notice it got move forward to Jan 2019 & now I've just check & it's now saying Expected: February 2019 - What's going on Hornby??? will next time I check will it say March, April or even May??? - Now this is getting silly - You can't keep on moving the Date & keep people waiting all the time!!!

96RAF Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Do you really want one as folk on RM Web are reporting problems with capacitors overheating and burning out. Maybe they are being held up to sort out a production fault, maybe not, maybe its just a shipping schedule slip.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 A year is nothing. I waited several years for a Bachmann loco. The models are made in China. When they are ready they will arrive. As RAF said perhaps there has been a problem with early models that need correcting. I’m sure if you contact Hornby they will send you a faulty version if you really want one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Some people said they had had no problems with the H - so it's a bit hit and miss. If your running DCC just snip the capacitor out. As far as delivery is concerned, as has been said it's made in China along with a vast number of other items, there is a probably a "build slot" for this loco, and if something happens beforehand, probably all slots get pushed backwards. Personally, I don't worry when it arrives, I've pre-ordered it, so I will get when it arrives. My railway modelling has not been put on hold because the H hasn't arrived - I've also not had any sleepless nights worrying about it.

96RAF Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just pray the container ship does not get stuck in the Suez Canal!....I ordered a new duty free Toyota Corolla Mk1 in the late 60s in Cyprus and the boat was U- turned in the Red Sea the day before the Suez Canal was closed, so my car went round the Horn to UK and visited the Continent then back along the Med turning up over 6 months late but fortunately just with the duty free limits for future export to UK, where it had already been.RobPS - it was less than 2 weeks old with under 50 miles on the clock before my good lady pranged it.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Jimyjames, you will get it eventually. I have waited years for a locomotive in the past and and I am still waiting heading for 2 years now for some Oxford Rail coaches. Yes, the delivery dates keep changing and it's annoying, but on my behalf there's nothing I can do to get the coahes any sooner. I have them on pre-order and that's the only thing I can do. All I need to next is wait for the email Hatton's Model Railways telling that they are in stock and when they get dispatched; Or another email that estimated dleivery has changed again. There's notjing we can do than just wait. I find that of just forget about your wanted product and carry on with life, time passes and eventually will recieve what you want.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Jimyjames, I wouldn't lose sleep over a model locomotive. It's only a hobby product. You will get it eventually. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postman Prat Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 @ Jacob You told us several months ago that you hadn't been to China and you didn't want to go. That probably explains why you've never heard of Chinese elves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I reckon he meant them but should have been Stan and Ollie. They were/are always known as Laurel and Hardy though. Think it’s time I worked my way through their films. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
