Hornby T9 and Schools Class

A few weeks ago I e-mailed Hornby asking for the release dates of these two locos, I got no answer; so at Warley I asked the Hornby rep and he said early December. Today I received an e-mail from Hornby apologising for their delay in reply and informing me that both models would be available towards the end of December and they could not guarantee before Christmas.

Anyone else have any info on this?

Was there ever so much anticipation for a loco as the T9? I have been asking questions about this loco since this time last year and none of the expectations have been realised.

Picked up my BR black DCC T9 yesterday. Looks great but will not move! Tried it DCC (address 03) and DC. Back to shop with it today.

Swapped my duff (dead) 30310 for a new one at local model shop. Mine was their first faulty T9 but they had quit a number of electrics and diesels to go back to Hornby and expressed some concern about lowered quality. Glad it has watercart tender and therefore avoids 6 wheel tender side frame error.
Replacement runs fine on DCC test/programing track. A little jerky in reverse on Club's DC track but fine forward. Possibly dirty track (although club DC stalwarts Black 5 and 9F OK) but any other thoughts welcome.
