keithp1707821843 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 HelloI wondered if you received a free model each year or is it just for your first time of joining?Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't belong to the Club myself, but on the Club Page it says annual loco:https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/memberships./media/tinymce_upload/8f5fa7dfaaac305e95258474d21a9e0b.jpg.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Basically, if you pay a new subscription every year, then yes, you get a "free" model every year, so long as you pay... Hence, annual, per annum, per year, every year.... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 For many years an 0-4-0 locomotive is included with the membership (With exception to 2015, when 0-6-0 was the club locomotive that year). I think a locomotive has been included in the club since Hornby started it, but don't qoute me on that. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR-Gordon-4 (HF)HI GordonI've never ever received an 0-6-0 loco as a Club loco, and I've been a member since 2004. I think 2015 was the year Hornby stopped giving a loco and replaced it with a £20 Voucher. The "free" loco was re-introduced in 2018 with R3678 0-4-0 GWR (looking) loco No.18. I stand to be corrected, but I have a list of all free loco's since 2000. There were loco's/wagons before this, but I've now thrown away all my Collectors Club Magazines from Issue One until the last old format one was produced - so can't check back.

BB Posted at 22:53:10 Sun, 12 Jan 2020I think that joined way back in 2013, got the Free Loco for 2013 & 2014 - bus as B.B. says above I decied to leave the Club in 2015 b/c they had stopped the "Free Loco" - but then when I heard back in 2018 (as also B. B. says above) re-introduced in 2018 with R3678 0-4-0 GWR loco No.18 I decided to rejoin 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordi_q Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 R3362 0-6-0 ‘WD11’ (WEATHERED) CLUB SPECIAL 2015 was the issued modelGordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 @Bulleidboy and @Jimyjames There was an 0-6-0, which was a one-off. Would have been nice of they released another 0-6-0 for 2020. It may not have been from 2015, it might have been from 2014 then but in one of those years, a heavily weathered 0-6-0 scrap locomotive was released as part of the Hornby RailRoad range. I bought one on eBay last year, but the box soes not state which it's from. @geordi_q That's the model, but I had forgotten the product number, hence why I didn't mention it! Thank you. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Sorry Jacob - I called you Gordon - apologies. BB I'm sure the R3362 0-6-0 ‘WD11’ (WEATHERED) CLUB SPECIAL 2015 was as stated a Club Special - not the free loco to club members. In 2015 there were a number of models available for only club members to buy - I bought Battle of Britain Class Manston in 2015 - it was a Club Special - only available to club members, as I'm sure was the R3362 tank.In 2014 the "free" loco was R3292 0-4-0 Pug 56011 this was the last free loco - in 2015 Club Members received a £20 voucher - the next free loco was issued in 2018 R3678 as previously stated.

keithp1707821843 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Interesting but on the club page it now says - the ' free' loco is a £28 model and s limited to one per membership. I only ask the question as if I join now, I assume I get the current model, but would not get the next model unless I joined again. That is why I was a bit confused - as it seems you have to chose when to join carefully to get the most current 'free' loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hornby have been known to change the loco - in fact I have had one exchanged. For some reason, one year, I received the same loco as the previous year, a quick phone call, and the later model was on its way, and I returned the model previously sent. Not a serious problem. I've just looked at the Club page and it says you receive a "complimentary" 0-4-0 club locomotive and membership will cost £28.00? There is also the chance to purchase "exclusive" club locomotives.

walkingthedog Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 After much thought I have decided not to rejoin even though the latest magazine is very good. I gave the last loco away. Much prefer the voucher and the 10% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithp1707821843 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks. I will join as I only have two locos - the 2000 Xmas special and a recent purchase, the Rothbury loco. And at £28 to me it seems a 'no brainer', exceptional value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 @bulleidboy Please don't worry about. You can call me what ever you wish to. I do not mind. 😉 😀 I see. I wonder how much Hornby sold that 0-6-0 for then. Looks as if for three years then, 2015 - 2017, there was not a free 0-4-0 locomotive then. Very interesting.
