LMS Coronation Loco & BR Mk2f coaches Delayed

[Tim Allen]

I’ve noticed that the pre-order arrival is now Summer rather than Spring 2024. 
The DC version is showing 30/6/24 and DCC is 30/7/24. The LMS coaches are still 30/5/24. 
Speaking of coaches the era 7 & 8 Mk2f are now showing 30/6/24.

That moved earlier this week to tie in with the BR versions. I did like to think it might have come earlier but will wait.

Other things have moved too like the 50s and 66s

well I guess the positive is there will not be a lump sum landing on the CC in one go now 😄

Edit, cos I missed the time window : ... looks like i'll have 8 coaches in Spring, and 2 HM7K locos in Summer, so it still going to hammer the CC 😄

The delay will save me some money for a few months at least. Have all 3 on pre order.

A lot of things have moved on checking just now

The Intercity Mk3 coaches are also now 30/6/24.

Going to be expensive month if all these do release on that date.

From past experience, I wouldn’t make too many assumptions on the dates there, every time something arrives into stock it seems to send ‘time ripples’ through the rest of the schedule. Although the common sense approach Hornby would be to bring what will sell the fastest, first; so BR Blue Grey and GWR Green MK3s would be a priority over MK2s due to big sales of both of those HST power units. 
Hornby might have to slow down release of TT:120 models though, apparently CEO is having difficulty counting all the money that is coming through the door 😁

It would make more sense to have the Mk3s release sooner rather than later and then the Mk2s release with the Class 50s. It'll be due to stock not arriving due to other world events.

I got some fingers he can borrow if that helps 😛

One of the TT120 community was told by Hornby that the Princess Coronation’s were all coming in May at Model Rail Scotland. When asked about the website dates the Hornby representative said those were unreliable. I haven’t got the budget for all these preorders others have done so I’m just waiting on a couple of locos (Early BR Coronation and era 5 08). I can wait if need be. Plenty of scenery to make

I was told exactly the same by them at Sheffield a couple of weeks earlier.
