  1. Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you get everything you wished for
  2. Remember Bob Symes programs well. Had the pleasure of meeting him at a rail festival in Budapest back in the early 2000's. A lovely man to talk to & a real gent. RIP.
  3. It varies. If you're charged vat by Irish customs just send an email to Hattons with a copy of the receipt & they will refund you the vat they charged straight away. I've always found Hattons very reliable & have been using them for years.
  4. Its the funny season again
  5. I lit a fire a while ago but that means the children will go to bed hungry tonight
  6. There was a tv series called "Drop the Dead Donkey" Maybe that was filmed on the Nile
  7. Only the center axle unit is screwed in.
  8. And about £100 in duty & postage. They'll be waiting
  9. I have a Kia Niro Hybrid & the best I have got so far is 3.8 litres per 100 km. Before that I had a Kia Soul which did 5 lts per 100 km.
  10. That they may be left with them. Even if I could afford them I wouldn't buy them.
  11. If you ordered the unit through Amazon the you can claim a refund because of non delivery.
  12. You could try the Gaugemaster Combo from Hattons for 38 UK pounds. Simple but very good.

    Just an An Post mess up as usual I just wish they'd train their staff properly.
  14. That sounds like a lovely day out George. Pity I'm so far away It has its plus points living down here but also has its disadvantages.

    Check the Hattons customs label when the package arrives & see if its ok. It seems with An Post it depends who scans your package as to which way things will go. Its a mess with them but what's new

    Hattons are normally spot on with their paperwork. I'd say this just an An Post cockup. Wouldn't be the first time

    The best thing is to contact Hattons.

    I have bought recently from Rails, Hattons & Coastal DCC. They have different ways of dealing with the Vat. Hattons charge the Irish vat & the package comes straight through. Rails & Coastal DCC deduct the British Vat & you pay the Irish Vat when the package comes in.

    I only buy stuff from UK retailers where I know I won't have trouble with them. I used to get a lot of items from E Bay but not any more as the postage & vat have gone crazy on that site now.

    My wife got a Customs card from An Post last week for an item that was delivered about three weeks ago If not paid we'll send the package back. Good luck with that one. It was a help to light the fire

    Yes but Rails don't collect the Vat & that's what the An Post fee is for. Its a pity that Revenue aren't so quick to take money from the big boys. No when they go to court the big boys expensive lawyers tie them up in knots. The ordinary person in the street is an easy catch

    Are An Post still charging €3.50 Post fee ? The reason I ask is that I got notified of Vat due on a package from Rails with no Post fee charged. Tony.
  23. A tsunami of the A class on E Bay now. If you were to buy one of them it would cast you over £300 before you got it
  24. Hi Everyone. I need one Dcc Concepts Cobalt-iP Digital point motor if anyone has one they want to move on ? If anyone has one just let me know. I have spare Tortoise motors but they're to big for where I need to put the motor. Thanks. Tony.
