    And Pontius failures are a common theme.

    Same. I don't order duplicates any more, preferring to wait for a re-run. I would have also checked the running numbers before pulling the trigger and I ordered the box set and all the individual ones except the B&T which is out of era for me. Mine are sitting in the post office back home waiting for me to return and pay the vat.

    I lost count around 70 lol

    Eoin is a unique craftsman/engineer/artist indeed but I think it's a little unfair to say that modern RTR models are made by a machine in China. They have (very many) parts made by machine that need to be assembled by hand. Anyone who has taken one apart and reassembled it again can testify to that. No machine can yet do this intricate work. The MM units will not be available for sale for quite some time through their usual retailers I presume. IRM, Mark's etc.

    That's.....brave.

    I'm not sure I understand the question but an order containing pre-orders should only contain items from the same line and not be mixed with other lines on pre-order or other stock items. Doing so can lead to the loss of the pre-order altogether.

    Great stuff. I'll be ordering those two and probably exercise a little bit of Rule 1 to justify the purchase 102 with the yellow panels.

    These are mega. Can someone tell me which ones were still running and in what liveries in 1994/5?
  9. murphaph
    You're not the only one. They will be awesome whenever they come.

    Same. On the one hand I'm delighted of course but I was kind of hoping they'd get to me a bit later now as there will be nobody here to take delivery for the whole of next week and be bouncing around the local post office until I can collect them .

    Nice one. Keep the updates coming folks. It reassures those of us that haven't heard anything, that things are still moving along

    Irish VAT @23% and An Post's handling charge, which I believe is now €4.50 or so. Edit: I still haven't received a shipping notification. Paid 3 weeks ago to the day. They should be a lot more pro-active in reaching out to people with updates about their progress. They could send an email every 5 days with x orders of a total of y orders shipped or something. It would cost them nothing to keep people informed of rough progress.

    Well the Mark's Jinty is cheap and available now but of course they didn't really leave Belfast harbour so that may limit their attractiveness but I bought one to put in the display case. I think I'd like the C Class and I think that's sort of inevitable but maybe not yet. I'll be happy with whatever it is I think

    Good to hear of some more movement. Hopefully not much longer now....I'll be away for the mid term break so not ideal if they ship just before then.
  15. murphaph
    Some folks on RMWeb reporting that their items shipped 12 days after payment. I'm at day 12 today so I hope to see some movement soon.

    Now sing that to the melody of The Irish Rover

    I certainly wouldn't criticise them because they are swamped. I'm glad somebody took the project on. It could have simply died with Hattons. Having said that, Rails bombard me with spam emails, almost daily. Can someone in there not put together a short email explaining the situation? A small bit of communication would go a very long way.
  18. murphaph
    Anyone else waiting over a week from payment to get a shipping notofication?
  19. murphaph
    No deposit was required to place a pre-order.
  20. murphaph
    Rails are taking their time dispatching my order. Paid at 2pm on Saturday and still showing as unfulfilled.
  21. murphaph
    Are Rails shipping these free of charge to Ireland? I'm being charged 15 GBP to post them to Germany, which I thought was alright in fairness. @jhb171achill mine are also listed as 29.13 GBP each. In the email it said they had held the price lower for pre-orders and anyone ordering later will pay more. It looks like you have been erroneously dumped out of the "pre-order" group. Edit: Unless you provided a UK address to ship them to? Then they would be listed with UK Vat included and it might be right.
  22. murphaph
    That's mega
  23. murphaph
    You can always console yourself with the fact you got to play with, I mean use the model for several months before those buying them with a discount the year after

    A little bit of video from our first ever visit today to the Woodland Railway: https://photos.app.goo.gl/XFY5ZrrTuB4QGeGj8 We got there for the first run at 11am. They ran "Rusty" the ex-ESB Ruston LM55 for the first hour. The lads said this was to allow them an extra hour in bed before firing Roisin up lol. At 12pm Rusty was relieved by Roisin (ex Bord na Mona LM44) and she performed the remainder of the runs. Great sound to her. The volunteers there do tremendous work. Fair play to them all.

    Hey that's cool. Keep spreading the word!
