Attention all Hornby Collector Club members past and present !

Got R2361 CR 0-4-0ST Industrial locomotive No 270 in blue livery - fairly sure it was the one before the diesel so 2003. Will photo it later if no one else does (layout not yet photogenic).

Cheers, Simon

I think that was the Caledonian "Pug", they also did the R2150 in 'Millennium' livery which, from the photo I saw, was salmon pink ?

Don't worry about your layout "not being very photogenic yet" just put the Pug on a section of track with some type of scenery behind it.

Thanks

Chris

This is possibly a daft question, but what do you actually get for your membership fee, and is it worth it?

Mark

You get a bi-monthly comic written for four-year-olds, a ficticious shunting locomotive and the opportunity to buy exclusive liveries at full retail price plus postage.

No

The alternate view :-

Theres also NEW! The Collector Plus - two editions per year Shunting loco is great for kids and anyone that wants a simple body for a non fictitious shunter. Articles by Pat Hammond.

Used to get the chance to board the hornby roadshow vehicle - chance to meet the 'Great One' perhaps. So worth £22.00 - for me yes, but its a personal decision.

Cheers, Simon

Its Hornby so of course it isn't worth it, daft question here really. On the other hand The Bachmann equivalent is superb value for money.

Kevin

So what do you get with Bachmann, then?

Mark

A quarterly magazine with product updates, pictures of work-in-progress and articles on railway prototypes, a private owner wagon which alone is worth a bit more than the annual subscription, an exclusive enamel badge, the opportunity to buy some genuinely exclusive locos worth many times the annual subscription, a full product catalogue and an enormous railway calendar with oil paintings by Malcolm Root.

I now have a 'full' list of loco's :-

So again do any of you have digital photos of ANY of the models from the club you can send me, preferably on a layout ?

If you are or were a club member please give years. I will add an acknowledgement to each photo.

Also photos of the actual loco's they are based upon with when & were they were taken, again I will add an acknowledgement to each photo.

Simon has already started the ball rolling with a photo on his layout of the R2361 CR 0-4-0ST Industrial ( 2003 ) locomotive

Thanks

Chris
