Latest update on my recent Hattons order, this is an email that I have had from them today. It seems that the IOSS system had changed!! This is the first parcel that they had already resent, the other is still floating around in the system somewhere!! "Dear John, I'm e-mailing in regards to order reference XXXXXXX, where I'm sorry to inform you that your parcel has been returned due to an issue with our IOSS number. Unfortunately, we are currently in the small interim period where the old IOSS service has ended and we're awaiting the new IOSS service to take over, where this is required for orders sent with DPD and Royal Mail. We do apologise for the delay in you receiving your items and for any inconvenience you may have been caused. We are working hard to get this resolved as soon as possible, and as soon as I have a further update, I send you a separate e-mail to keep you informed."

An Post are a joke now! They have stopped for a second time my parcel from Hatton's which they resent having previously been returned as 'supposedly' it did not have the correct customs info. Ordered 20th Feb, Anpost sent back to Hattons, they resent on 8th March and now going to be sent back again! Waste of time trying to contact An Post customer service as they just fob you off with feeble excuses! 14 March 2023 01:36 We could not deliver your post. We will try to return it to the sender.

Seems like Anpost make the rules up and change them to suit themselves. With my orders apparently they just got rejected and supposedly being sent back! All the info I got was 'unable to deliver', they did not even try or contact me about the packages, instead some idiot in the Anpost Dublin 12 sorting office deciding to send it back. Where is the logic in sending items back, especially in this day and age of climate change, does not make sense.

Having now had two parcels now on thier way back to Hatton's , Yesterday I phoned Hattons telling them about this problem, and they said for some reason they are currently having problems with shipments to Ireland. It seems to be when using Royalmail - Anpost, not aware of any issues with DHL, which is the only other shipping option, but expensive at £23.00!!! Anyway, once Hattons recive the items back I should get an email from them giving me options of refunding or resending the item, so watch this space and see what happens.

I will have to cross the Shannon as well as the Liffey if I visit Dublin!!

I dont have Twitter account, Tried the web chat but keep getting oscar bot! which is of no help.

Looks like Anpost are back to thier antics once again! Got an order from Hattons, say they were unable to deliver, but have never tried, it has not left Dublin! 01 March 2023 01:12 Your post has left An Post DUBLIN MAIL CENTRE, DUBLIN 12 24 February 2023 16:26 We could not deliver your post.

Well, as they are in Glasgow and continuing with their English Electric theme I'm guessing the announcement will be either a class 20 or class 40, as both worked in Wee Bonny Scotland.

You could also try Hobbymad in Cork. https://www.hobbymad.ie/evergreen-plastics though at the moment some items are out of stock, but they have a good range of modelling materials and paints. have used them for a good few years now.

Nothing wrong with the fixed bar. That's how the real freightliner flats were originally coupled in rakes of five. Nice work there on them old liners.

This is the latest information that is on the Hatton's website.

Nooooo that,s sooo wrong!! 50007 should be large logo blue and named Hercules.

Where is this company based? I could not see anything on the website. No address, contact No. (apart from web contact) or e-mail.

Had a delivery from Railtec transfers today all arrived safe and well. It was posted just before Royal Mail announced the problems with shipping overseas so must have got through just in time.

Could have been worse and been in Luton like me lol. Lincolnshire's not that bad in comparison, and yes Norfolk is nice.

Have used then several times, MSL postage is very reasonable, as Noel says only €7.90postage, and if order is over €100.00 then shipping is only €3.90. Just had a delivery from them yesterday, and since early this year they use GLS for shipping to Ireland. No connection with MSL except satisfied customer.

Do I add to my class 50 stash collection, currently have 7 Hornby and 4 Lima. (Fran, If you have a spare sample I would gladly do a comparison review.)

50007 Hercules was the only class 50 repainted green for the GWR 150 celebrations along with I think either 3 or 4 class 47's. 47484, 47500 and one other I think?? The green livery sat well on the Hoover, but at the time many were not happy about the renaming, especially as there were still many unnamed duff's (47's) at the time.

That will be announced next April I think.

Sale on at Hatton's. May be something if interest for someone. https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail?id=1269&fbclid=IwAR2ly-BQdIXFSztEGJD3skgpzUIgh0mSSqvkybUHshHRc7btpnRhApkWArw

That's good news. Thank you for your time and effort to sort this.
