joe_holmes1 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi AllHas anyone received the above loco yet that has been on pre-order since March 2018 ?It was supposed to be delivered in January, but has still not arrived !Wonderingif it will ever be delivered !!

walkingthedog Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 No it isn’t available yet. January is only 12 days away. When the container arrives from China all will be well. I’m a firm believer that Hornby shouldn’t put due dates on products, or any of the other companies come to that. I think one Bachmann loco is 3 years late. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It is very difficult when the manufacturers are a boat ride away. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It's now due in April 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I wish models wouldn't have estimated dates put on them either. Usually they over run this date and then people start asking if it's going to be released and when. Just don't give us a month estimate or quarter estimate and it's a nice surprise when your pre-ordered product does arrive at the doorstep.

Howbi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Well my view is that Hornby could hardly be expected to offer a model for sale without an estimated delivery date.........they wouldn't get any buyers.........I have one of these on order but 'am I bovvered' if it arrives in March or April?.......No!............ 😆............HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Don't agree Howard. Last year Dapol announced two new locos that I wanted so I pre ordered them. There was no estimated date but that wasn’t a problem. You don’t have to pay until it is available. They’ll arrive one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ73 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 We have already talked about this in the thread - Hornby Collector Club>Why does the Date of the Club Model keep on Moving???Take a read of that - the conclusion of that is - it will come when it comes!!!

walkingthedog Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Most of is really don’t care when it arrives Jj. Arrival dates are in the lap of the gods (Chinese ones). Just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drt7uk Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I do! Respect those who say "it'll come when it comes" but there are others who would just like them to provide a bit more information as to why there is a continued delay. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 @ D_T. :- You want a bit more info - ok here goes!!! 😉 As this is to do with Loco's - Probaly to do with the good old days of B.

Tiddles 47 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just had email from Hornby saying the H is near!!! Not long now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Same here - interestingly they say very few left get your order in now - as one retailer is advertising the loco, I wonder whether a number werer allocated to retailers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Up-date :- Got an email from Hornby today (23/05/2019) - (well 2 actually 1st one saying that I had to Update my Card details for some strange reason - even though nothing had changed???!!!??? which I have done now!!!) any how - the 2nd emails siad "Great news! Your Bluebell Railway SECR, H Class, 0-4-4T, No.263 - Era 11 – Hornby Collector Club Exclusive (R3648) Pre-Order has now arrived at our warehouse and will shortly be prepared for dispatch." so great news!!! - hopefully very soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Strangely I have had the same problem with the last four models ordered from Hornby - my card details have not changed. I put my existing card details into the system again - as a new card. Hopefully this will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
