Wow meta data now says 14/09/24 but no pre-order season showing hopefully they are just sorting the stock out

It also shows the same date for the HST Swift version !!

Obligatory stock level check showing 25 

It always makes me nervous when I see something I have on pre-order on sale before my notification arrives 😂 Only 23 left now.

I've just realised my pre order for TT3021TXSM BR, Class 43 HST Train Pack - Era 7 (Sound Fitted) doesn't have the HM7000 TXS logo. Can anyone confirm if this is HM7000 ready or will I need a decoder as well?

You have the HM7000 fitted version on order so nothing else to do. They seem to randomly apply those logos!

It better be it’s the one I ordered but the TXSM indicate DCC installed models

Yes the TXS suffix and the £110 extra compared to the other version confirms decoders being fitted. Two decoders at £55 extra each. It’s the version I ordered too. 

The website information for many models is riddled with inconsistencies so the model number and price are the more reliable indicators.

My MK3s to go with todays re,ease are showing 2nd June at the moment boohoo lol

Gaugemaster & Rails have April and Spring respectively for the Blue/Grey Mk3s, so hopefully that’s correct and the Hornby Summer ETA is wrong.

Yeah, always take the Hornby website's data with a grain of salt. They've been almost uniformly incorrect. Mk 3s should be arriving either in the weeks or a months directly after the release of the GWR and BR HSTs. Hornby knows people want to make complete trains.There was a scare when the Swallow Class 43s arrived. People worried that the corresponding Mk 3s might take months to arrive. But within a week or so the correct Mk 3 coaches were shipping out. 

 

No need to stress!
