Mmmmmh, spaghetti…

Mmmmmh, cookies… Will we be getting tins of Accurascale cookies if we buy more than one loco from a range?

Well, who will be first to give us blue Maersk containers? No more grey: “The big reveal! Our grey containers will now proudly wear the iconic Maersk blue! This makeover welcomes our containerized service to join the blue of our freight carriers at sea, on land, and in the air. Back in 1975, we introduced our first containerized line – the Panama Line – and the grey dry container became a global symbol of Maersk reliability. Now, nearly five decades later, our containers are painted to match the color that encapsulates our more than 120 years of moving customers’ cargo. More than a symbol of our brand and legacy, the Maersk blue stands for trust. And our containers represent the trust of our customers who have entrusted their goods to Maersk.” comments Sam Poulter, Global Head of Branding & Content at Maersk. “As our most visible brand asset, to celebrate that trust, our grey containers will now proudly bear the Maersk blue that is already the hallmark of our iconic vessels, planes, cranes, trucks, vans and logistics facilities.” Taken from The Shipping Herald.

These are perfect for anybody who wants extra running numbers to go with the forthcoming batch.

Terrific stuff, @ttc0169! Keep forgetting that this is all N Gauge.

Blown away, @Rob! Fabulous modelling and fabulous models, and some great photography. Have we seen any of these make cameos on Hueston North before?

And I’d say we’re painfully close to dispatch day!!!

Well, we almost made it to June. The only current consistency is inconsistency. Out of curiosity, how many US based A/S / IRM customers are active here on the forum? I can think of about eight off the top of my head, but don’t want to list them. Going back to the OP, how does one disable automatic dubbing of YT videos? Without having to change account settings, region settings, or use a VPN? The YT application on my telly plays some videos automatically dubbed into Spanish, but the poor translations and grating AI voice that sounds like a squirrel on meth makes them unbearable. The video in the OP was released on several manufacturets YT channels, some with original audio and aome with that same atrocious automatic dubbing.

We’ll still be able to order directly from A/S until their own website stops taking orders. Retailers like Rails will have a deadline for getting THEIR orders lodged with A/S, likely sooner than the A/S deadline for finalising production quantities with the factories. When the wagons arrive in stock and all existing pre-orders are dispatched, A/S, Rails, and any other retailers (Mark’s Models maybe?) will release un-sold stock for sale.

Or, since one if those would take months to get here…

Very very nice wagon!

Now in stock on the website: https://briancollinsenterprises.ie/product/model-buses-creations-brian-collins-enterprises-adl-enviro-500-dublin-bus-vt47-39-ongar/ https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=674366685491942&id=100087558504522

Good In Bed, why, thank you!

Little Loco Company, I think? Since they have good feedback, I may be tempted…

Literally an O Gauge diesel for OO prices. Rails had one variant on offer last year, and Kernow also have one variant on offer at the moment. Despite positive feedback online, they must not be selling well.

Rails of Sheffield have a big Bachmann group sale - O Gauge Class 15’s going for peanuts, OO Gauge locos, stock, buildings and scenery on offer, even N Gauge stuff! The Class 15’s are the winners in my book.

Allowance abolished in January, reinstated in February, abolished again in May. Who knows what June will bring?

Time to get yourself an O Gauge diesel from Rails of Sheffield!

Sold for €255 plus postage (plus import fees if a non-UK buyer) in the end.

The new Provinciascale range?

Another question, possibly just as important, is one of timing. The A/S website is built using templates and plug-ins, and none of us really know how easy or difficult it may be to apply the various options for the US. Would A/S be better off doing the research over the coming weeks, but not making any actual changes to shipping options until after the 90 day review? That’s certainly a question I’d be asking of myself if given a similar challenge in work. That’s just the forum itself, don’t worry. It’s a common sympton, along with blood pressure fluctuations, losing the will to live, and refreshing ones vocabulary of swear words.

It sounds like A/S are working on having various shipping options available: I assume that, if DDP were a viable option, you’d need to be choosing between the $100 USD flat fee and the 54% and the 30% at the time you place your order. With any luck, import fees for you guys will either drop or stay the same when they are reviewed in three months time. Hopefully, they can get Navarro out of the Oval Office with another fake meeting when it comes to decision time.

It’s the same financially, unless things change. If you pay 30% tax to A/S today, they hand it over and save you the hassle of paying it. If taxes go up, they lose out. If taxes go down, you lose out. Pretty straightforward.

Yup, that’s exactly what I said. You pay the tax to A/S and they hand it over on your behalf, so nothing changes financially.

So in this case, you were looking at paying the taxes on the customer’s behalf, and not collecting the corresponding payment? If so, Hell yeah, sign me up straight away and you can pay all of my taxes and handling fees without charging me.
