The brown sticky stuff might strike the rotating thingy before Xmas chez Nobby

Well until the five Gaugemaster GM2210205 Network Rail Class 73212 materialise and turn up I'm not pre ordering anything else! Must be getting on for nearly three years now.

Its getting to the point where I feel I could be let down. Its a feeling I could imagine like waiting for that goerges looking date to turn up two hours after she was meant to!

I have a Revolution 321 on pre-order.

Not a biggie in itself but there is very worrying news regarding the retail chain that I provide IT support for as a contractor (the one who does the tartan and shortbread). If they go under then, most likely, so does the "day job".

Luckily, Electra is going from strength to strength and a career break should allow me to bring lots of projects to fruition and offer some new, non-railway, services.

Having seen today the Osborns/Cheltenham Models limited edition Westerns may arrive in November I'm also expecting the Gaugemaster/Dapol class 73, Farish 8F, 2 x 56xx from RevolutioN/Sonic and possibly, just possibly, having to pay deposits on a couple of Class 128s from RevolutioN if the order book opens. This could be a very expensive last quarter to 2020 on top of a Dapol Hall and a dummy class 121 I've recently bought. Just as well I'm not going out much so meals out, petrol etc are well down.
I dare say some are in a worse/better* position than I am??

*Delete as appropriate

I'm in a similar boat. I pre-ordered a Farish 40 (D248 sound fitted- just missed tha last batch two years ago) as well a D9001 St Paddy, both from Kernow and both fairly imminent. Having ordered these as I try to populate my Houghton Jaglin layout with east coast main line diversionary power circa 1970-72, I notice the new batch of 47s had landed with 47435 required for backdating- and I then realised the mark2 'aircons' were in too 😮..It's flippin' carnage!

[Chris Morris]

Has anyone heard anything about when the next batch of 142s are expected?

One of  the great things about exhibitions is that I could build up a little stash of cash and come home with a few goodies without the joint bank account seeing anything. Can't do that with online purchases.

Do me favour and post her down to me when you finished playing with her Mick!

I'm still waiting for my 56xx that the boss ordered for me for my 60th birthday (which was last December). If I'm lucky, I might have it for my 61st birthday (this December). Thankfully the boss has paid for it so it's not hurting my pocket

Not to mention re runs of some previous Western liveries (and a couple of new ones) by Dapol, apparently expected September/October. Missed out on the green one first time round.

I had to cancel most of my pre orders as when ordered they arrival was spread out over the year, then due to delay after delay they are now all due in November or possibly December, I have 5 grand children, so can't spend money on my toys at Christmas.

Now only getting the 8F if it ever arrives .

Of course the reality is that many things will actually arrive in the new year, rather than all turning up this year at all.

Supposedly November if the video on the Hornby Magazine website for their Great Virtual Electric Train Show is to go by, with the sound version slightly later.

No need to cancel anything. Buy the loco's you want and when they arrive, take a photograph of the individual loco's. You then give a photograph of a different loco' to each of your five grandchildren for Christmas. Then tell them that that particular loco' belongs to that particular grandchild, but it has to stay on the layout for safety, but they can see it running when they visit. Easy.
