P2 update

[mick b]

I don't rate RM web - I got banned when some cretin criticised my Britannia artwork - I accidentally sent a PM to the wrong person - I took it up with the guy as it was unfounded criticism and then got banned from RM web! Its obvious that the administrators are in Hornby's pockets!

You cannot say nowt re Bachmann on there , 20% increase not their fault etc etc etc. Hornby have had a lot of abuse on there and still do.
The P2 thread if you read it did have lot of "waffle" thereon, I wont miss it . Oh hang on, that applies to about 75% of the posts on RM web in general !!
I wont mention the "Andy" fan club

Ladies and Gentlemen,
At last, we have some positive news about the release dates of the P2. But before you all go off in ecstatic celebration, be aware they are not about to flood on to the market.

The latest Hornby trade news shows that R3171, the Railroad version, should have an initial batch arriving with Hornby in the week commencing August 25th.
A further batch of R3171 will then arrive later this year - no time frame is specified for this later batch.
Over the next couple of weeks, at least, Hornby deliveries are severely restricted due to re-locating of the warehouse facilities, so it may well be mid-September before the models start dribbling into retailers, and even then numbers received will not be their full allocation.

So the wait is nearly over, but further patience is still required before all three versions are fully available.


p.s dont hold your breath

Please don't mention the "Great Leader" of RM Web again or his bizarre aggressive method of running a forum it only causes offence and he could set the boys on you!

Wonder how the folk who've pre-ordered the J15 & D16 are feeling ?

When will they see a running model ?

PS. I was going to pretend the J15 was a J25.

Hmmmmm. More guff from Hattons this morning about delivery of the main range version on or after 26th September.......

It seems Hattons have despatched mine already

It's no use gloating. We expect photos to be posted you know!

When I get back from holiday and see the thing can probably gloat

[teaky]

Ah, sods law. Amazing. You wait over a year for a parcel and it's delivered whilst you're out! At least you'll be looking forward to coming back from your holiday which isn't usually the case.

I see a certain retailer in Cornwall are advertising the Railroad version!

[2002EarlMarischal]

Is this the basis for the next crop of fictitious 4-8-2s? Just add a bogie - no worries about the motor!

[Clock O' the North]

Pretty much i think. I might even do one if the budget allows it

Thanks, Lachlan

Mine has arrived - I will post a review later. I can say for the record that I am a very happy bunny today.
