On the outer sleeve of the new Q1 box I see that Hornby have managed to spell Bulleid on the rear of the box incorrectly!!!
There spelling Bullied correct "Bulleid"
All the best Steve

Do you mean *their spelling*? Bit kettle calling pan. ;-)
Actually I agree with your point though, there is no excuse for such a spelling error on a commercial product.

Also, what's a Honby? :-)
A four wheeled, high ground clearance, steam loco designed for off road use by Hornby.

Don't you mean "Their"?
'They're' is short for "They Are". 'There' usually means something like "in that place..."

Both could be right if you think about it!

Only if it's "There, spelling Bulleid correct(ly) 'Bulleid'."
I think.

I'm sure that the reason was someone trying to remember how to spell 'Bulleid' and thinking back to their school lessons on spelling and thinking to themselves:
"i before e except after c......"
unfortunately the rule doesn't hold in this case.........
You do, of course realise that one with a spelling mstake in the name like that will have a far higher value in years to come than one with the name spelled correctly!

Yes, English rules of grammar etc. don't really work with French !...
