Jimbo1707820979 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks, WTD. No hurry and no worry. May send a reminder when the snow arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Nope nor me either - I'll think it will be the same thing as whay happened wih the H-Class!!! 😉 😆 It will arrive when it will comes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Still waiting for my free locomotive. I knew the estimated delivery date of June 2019 would be wrong. Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer. I am looking forward to how this model will turn out. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Jacob - it will turn out a bit like this... /media/tinymce_upload/46036eaaecb52362326d228fda2558c0.JPG Apart from it won't be blue but it will be yellow, it won't be BR but it will be Network Rail & it won't have a face on it (unless you put on a face like I did!!!) 😉 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 If you knew when it was coming it wouldn't be a surprise - nothing like the postman delivering a package you weren't expecting. Our DPD delivery man said to me the other day "whenever I see a package with Hornby tape around it, I know where it's going without looking at the address"!

walkingthedog Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I can't decide whether to repaint it BR green or an industrial colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 @ B.B. :- WOW that amazing u must order a lot from Hornby then!!! 😉 😮 😀 I too get my parcel from DPD - & it it always the same nice driver (I even know his name b/c it tell me on the Delivery on route time screen thingy - if you know what I mean!!!) & last time he said to me, he had signed it for me on my behalf which I said was ok b/c he knew me!!! I only order from Hornby only once or twice a year if that!!! @ W. T. D. :- Get a coin - heads it's "BR green" & tails it's "an industrial colour scheme" then flip it & see which side it lands & if by any chance it happens if the coin happens to land on its edge then repaint it half BR green & half industrial colour scheme - No just to confuse the idea even more - repaint it BR Blue like mine!!! 😉 😆 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin J Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi I’m still waiting to receive my Network Rail yellow loco as part of my membership. They did mention the would be expecting a delivery in July. I hope it’s not to long 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 That’s what we are discussing Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 One thing is for sure. It will not be a Plymouth Switcher like that B.R. blue LIMA model that keeps appearing in photos! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yeahhh may be I have posted my B.R. blue LIMA models on this forum 1 or 2 many times Sarahagain!!!! 😉 😀 😆 Also Is that what my 2 B.R. blue LIMA models are called "Plymouth Switcher"??? So after all these years (since I was about 8 yrs old) is that what you are saying Saragagain??? 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin J Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hi had word today from Sue at Hornby, the yellow Network Rail 04 shunter will be expected in August. It’s bad publicity as I joined in June and expected to have my club magazine and free loco within the two weeks. Still waiting they should have the loco in stock for such occasions.

walkingthedog Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Why. It doesn’t say you get the loco immediately. Are you saying they shouldn't let anybody renew their membership until they have a stock of club locos? I would imagine it is pretty low priority.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Also Is that what my 2 B.R. blue LIMA models are called "Plymouth Switcher"??? So after all these years (since I was about 8 yrs old) is that what you are eating Saragagain??? 😮 Yes, the LIMA model is based on a "Plymouth" make Diesel Switcher, from the USA. There are several models that have been made of these locos by various manufacturers, mainly for the American market. Very popular for the starter set market.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Locomotive_Works http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&ei=z9ouXafTMKap1fAP_ZSakAU&q=Plymouth+switcher&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjn9rSSw7vjAhWmVBUIHX2KBlIQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=360&bih=591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I wish the model was available in different colour schemes. I shall have to paint mine or give it away. Probably the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin J Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi WTD I’m not complaining in anyway and I can definitely survive, I’m just pointing out that when I joined the email I received said I would have the loco and magazine within two weeks. Anyway less of that I’m just looking forward to the loco arrivin. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Did it say that. Bit of a rash promise wasn’t it? 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin J Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Did it say that. Bit of a rash promise wasn’t it? 😆I rechecked my email and I have mis read it, they said I would receive my card, pin badge and magazine within 28 days which I have and the loco will follow. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 @ Sarahagain :- WOW - there are many varation to my "Plymouth Switcher" - did not realise that!!! Nor did I realise that - "Plymouth Locomotive Works was a US builder of small railroadlocomotives. All Plymouth locomotives were built in a plant in Plymouth, Ohio until 1997 when the company was purchased by Ohio Locomotive Crane and production moved to Bucyrus, Ohio in 1999. Production of locomotives has now ceased, and rights to the spare parts business have been sold to Williams Distribution."Every day is a school day!!!

LCDR Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I already have this diesel shunter in red, not bad for a freelance model. I may consider re-livery of both this and the yellow club model into another less garish livery, cannot decide yet whether it will be green or black. I used to work for Network Rail, I probably don't want a model to remind me 😆! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 LC I am also going to re-livery my loco, probably BR black. What number would it have carried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
