Ultimately the forum itself remains a permanent archive that is searchable. It should be possible to split things like ee have done with shops closing etc but does that then put them out of the realm of places where people would browse?
A small headroom and a scattering of unpaid preorders that may free up. The delays with shipping are very frustrating at the moment but we’re working hard on getting stock in a timely mannner! Appreciate the patience.
At least I wasn’t An Pist at the time.
All the UK seller has to do nowadays is not charge you UK vat when they post something and ideally include an invoice.
model railway locomotives and stock and accessories have always been exempt from duty, so there aren’t really any new charges for buying in the UK and shipping to Ireland. If the supplier is handling the VAT correctly otherwise you will only pay a couple of euro to An Post to process the delivery and charge you the vat you would have paid anyway.
He status page is always the last know. / released update. At the moment we are pending final decorated samples so we can book in a production run at which point the schedule will be updated. We are looking around year end hopefully now. We do have other items in progress not on the chart too
The Flats are now shipping and the opens are due in about a week or so, at which point the balance of stock will go on sale once we're clear of all the preorders!
Perhaps, tho we'll also be launching something totally new, and powered, in the coming weeks and a lot more unpowered, and some steam, and and and .. oh no, here comes Fran!
You can pay any time between now and shipment. Latest is the flats may start shipping the 6th. Otherwise once the stock is here we will process all preorder payments and line up shipments.
