The anticipated release of the T9 locomotive has been rescheduled with
effect that the launch will now be in September. The original June date for
the release of the model has had to be re-examined as it became apparent
that additional tooling was required to cater for extra detail components,
this coupled with changes to enhance the operating running characteristics
of the model has resulted in the inevitable delay. Hornby do regret this
delay, however with the addition of the extra features the overall result
will be that of an amazing model and a fitting locomotive to head up a rake
of stunning Maunsell coaches.

Suits me. I'd rather have it right than wrong, and if that takes a couple or
three more months, then that's not a problem...

If anyone from Hornby is reading this - How does a loco "head up" a rake of
coaches ?
It may head "up north", or (unlikely) head a ball "upwards", but surely it
pulls (or leads) coaches.
