Bob-755718 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Has anyone heard rumours as to what the free loco for 2022 is going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My guess would be an existing 0-4-0 in a new coat of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ73 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hope (for a change) it will be a 0-6-0 & not as Raf says above "would be an existing 0-4-0 in a new coat of paint."!!! 🤔🚂🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 @ JJNot likely unless there is a significant membership price increase - check the difference in prices between 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 locos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 @ G. S. :- I just have - interesting - check this out - There is a :-"R3896 BR, Ruston & Hornsby 88DS, 0-4-0, No. 84 - Era 6" @ £103.49R30010 Hitachi, Sentinel, 0-4-0, 'Chiaki Ueda' - Era 11 @ £92.49which is MORE exspensive than :-R3415 BR, J15 Class, 0-6-0, 65477 - Era 4 @ £85.75So it seems that you can get 0-6-0 less than a 0-4-0!!! Do Hornby REALLY need to price increase just to give us a 0-6-0 instead of a 0-4-0???😉🚂🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 You have compared prices of main-range locomotives whereas the free loco is almost certainly to be based upon a Railroad model. The difference between 4-wheel and 6-wheel Railroad tank locos is around £15, approximately a 33% uplift, at list prices - a bigger and more complex product.

ChrisBWC Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Daft question, but, if you sign up to the collector club now, do you get a 2021 loco or a 2022 loco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Well it's probably not such a daft question as, (AFAIK) the 2022 model has not yet been announced, but I'd like to think that as it's now 2022 you'd get the 2022 model. Might be worth giving Hornby a call to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORKY. Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Daft question, but, if you sign up to the collector club now, do you get a 2021 loco or a 2022 loco? I have £30 membership and a "free" loco on it's way, I will let you know when Hermes deliver it. I hope it is the 2021 loco, as stated in the membership application, I love them, and a lookalike in the 2022 pre order lineup is £50, rather a known 2021 than risk the unwanted whimsies of Hornby. However , if the 2022 turns out to be the same old same old in LNER livery, then my son will find he has Collector Club membership,,,, but no "free" loco ! Yep Hornby asleep at the wheel again.

Pip 55 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 You would think by now they would be selling 2022 membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 They probably will be from tomorrow when the 2022 range is announced, which will no doubt include Club membership prices and details of the 2022 locomotives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Man Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's looking like the 2022 Membership does not include a 'free' 0-4-0 loco. It just mentions, 'Opportunity to purchase 'exclusive Club models'. Depending on what they might be may influence whether or not I renew my membership this year. I'm not too bothered that there is no 0-4-0 model as I have three now, two Club models and one that was in the original set bought for me and there are only so many I would want.

Bulleidboy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The usual 0-4-0 loco will be available to Collector Club Members only, for a price of £17.99 - so no "freebie" for 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Making the cost of membership even less attractive. Looking through the entire list of steam locos that is the only model available to Club members, and it's last year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORKY. Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The usual 0-4-0 loco will be available to Collector Club Members only, for a price of £17.99 - so no "freebie" for 2022. Available to club members for £15.60 with free post and packing for rest of world, Meanwhile my club membership application on 4th Jan 2022, has not arrived, and my membership is not active, BUT , the FREE LOCO arrived 10th Jan, the 2021 0 4 0 loco. It seemed obvious that cost saving and price increases were at the top of the Hornby agenda, so I took a chance and it has paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 You would think by now they would be selling 2022 membership. I don't think the Club membership runs on an annual basis. I have been a member since 2007 and a couple of years ago(??) there was a re-vamp of the club, and I recall that membership commenced in February - it was late. My latest membership card says "Expiry date - 26/2/2022" - I took that years subscription out as soon as I was able to . Without knowing what date is on other club members cards, I would think that February is when new/renewal subscriptions will fall due. Perhaps someone could confirm that if you joined in, say August, your card states expiry is August 2022 or whatever.I would also add that there is nothing mentioned in the "Join the Club" information about a free loco. From what has been mentioned on this forum in the past, very few members actually wanted the loco?The other advantage of "club membership" is the 10% discount - I know you can get the same from many outside suppliers, but with Hornby you know you will get the item, which cannot be said of all suppliers.

JJ73 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 @ BB :- Well My Membership expires on the 07/03/2022 & that is (I think) when I joined a year earlier!!! I was looking forward to the Free Loco which I thought they said they were going to reinstate every year - may be I was wrong - would be nice to see what Loco the exclusive Club models are!!! 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 @BulleidboyI joined in November 2020 and my subscription has run until the following November - this year until November 2022.In the previous two years joining the Club did include a free 0-4-0 loco, (I wouldn't know what was offered prior to that). It is only this month that it has been dropped.10% discount on purchases is hardly a draw for me as one usually gets that anyway by buying from other retailers.

Carltonf Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I noticed a couple of days ago, the bullet point for free loco had gone, but it was still referenced in the paragraph higher up the page. Today, when I checked back, reading this post, I see they have updated that paragraph too. So no free loco, which is a shame as the 2022 retro loco looked very nice.They have gone back to offering 10% discount, which I was surprised when the ditched a couple of year back. I've pre-ordered the Black 5 with steam - if I don't renew membership will I lose out on the discount when it comes to completing the order?

Bulleidboy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 @ CarltonfIf you ordered online, when you came to payment the calculation shows the discount - I assume you have received email confirmation of the order which also shows the amounts. You will also get free postage, which you probably would not get from other suppliers. So your order is in place, whether you renew your membership should have no affect on the price. I ordered the same model - along with others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McTrain Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think it’s really disappointing the loco no longer appears to be included. I’m unlikely to renew as it doesn’t appear great value for money anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip 55 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Don't think I will be bothering to renew this year either. Yet another price increase and No Loco does not make it a sensible option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
