PJ_model_trains Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hi great news Every month Hornby have changed the expected arrival date. I noted a week back they had revised the date and that there is now have a disclaimer saying, dates are checked every month and adjusted as required. As the date for the Class 47 moved from 8 May to 22 May I think, I hope, I am assuming, I am also hoping, it will come this month. Trouble is my layout is still up ended to do work beneath. What with illnesses, hospital, etc for wife and myself and both my wife's parents, I have still not completed the jobs I need to do. Hence the reason I have not been on here much :o( Looks like the loco will arrive before I get the layout sorted again. It will look good in the box ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The beauty of having a rolling road PJ - you can have a play as soon as you get them.I hope you are yours will come through your trials and tribulations as best as possible - worrying times for you all.

PJ_model_trains Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hi RAFWe cope with our issues, like many of us, we have to. What makes matters worse is both of my wife's parents have altz. and other problems. Her dad has been referred to A&E 4 times in 2 weeks and admitted twice into a ward. Both are in their 80's which makes things harder, and it is not over yet. I will get back to my trains but helping them is the priority, it's harder for my wife than myself, although I am limited what I can do, I can take them, and my wife, back and forth and visit them. I check on here once or twice a week but don't have time at present for anything else.Don't mention Loco Detection LOL ;o)Sorry back to topic!

Bachmann loco very soon, been about 2 1/2 years. I dare are say if it had been made in the UK you would have paid twice as much for it. Hopefully production will start again here when China prices itself out if the market, but they will be far more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_thomas Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I hope Hornby releases a 125 Power and Dummy cars in with TTS Sound of the old Paxman Valenta engine in both Blue/Grey Intercity livery and the Swallow Livery. This would be an instant purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be an instant purchase. Especially if they release it with sound from both ends!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
