LCDR Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 As it is (a) freelance, (b) alledgedly based in a Bagnall design, and © BR never purchased any Bagnall machines, it needs to be a number from a block not previously used on any actual locomotive. Gaps include, The pre-1957 series 11230 to 11499, 11509 ro 11699, and 11720 to 11999 which were never allocated. Post 1957 series D2342 to D2369, D2445 to D2499, D2520 to D2549, D2619 to D2699, D2870 to D2899, D2914 to D2949, and D2959 to D2984 which were never allocated. Personally I would go for a 11800 upwards / D2800 upwards number series.This places them between the real North British 225hp 0-4-0DH D2708 to D2780, and real Yorkshire 170hp DH 0-4-0, TOPS Class 02, D2850 to D2869. It then begs the question what TOPS number might have been allocated. All the numbers between 01 and 17 were already allocated, so I guess class 18 would be the next available number, although they could be 02/1 class, carrying numbers 02 101 upwards. . So in black livery why not 11803? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you LC, I shall take your advice. I recall many years ago renumbering a loco with a number that just came out of my head. Turned out to be an A3's number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Trouble is this was a Jinty type loco. I did rename my Flying Scotsman Pretty Polly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeymallard Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 hi i am still waiting for free loco and vip card you would think someone who is in charge of this side of hornby membership, dispatch would at least contact people and let them know whats happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We do know. The loco isn’t available yet, nobody has received one, as soon as it arrives in the UK we will all get one. Not sure what a VIP card is, but how long have you been waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Not sure what a VIP card is, but how long have you been waiting?I think he means the membership card - Red Plastic with Hornby Collectors Club, Your name, membership number and expiry date. I don't think it entitles you to anything - you don't have to sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I’ve got one of those BB, doesn’t mention VIP on it. Might need it to get cheap tickets for the Gaydon MRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doglane Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yep, I've just renewed and mine also said Loco due in July but they didn't say which year! Such fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souty Train Guy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 When I first got mine, it took 6 months to arrive since starting the subscription (and the magazines took that long as well) - not without the benefit of an additional loco for waiting that long! - (The loco was in stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrainGuy19 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Well, in my opinion it will be great when the loco arrives. The only issue is there isn’t much Network Rail itemware on the Hornby catalog. If you have no Network Rail stock to pull, it will just look out of place on the layout.

walkingthedog Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 There are already several posts on here regarding the club loco, is there really a need to start another. Nobody has it, when it arrives from China we will all get one. It isn’t a matter of life and death. https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/still-waiting-duh/?p=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
