Got a chance to test out my A1 on a rolling road in DC & after fitting a LokPilot 5 decoder in DCC.
As smooth as a baby's arse & so very quiet.
I'll have to get a sound decoder for it so I'll know its actually running
Beautiful model
No problem Fran. I'm sure you're working as fast as possible.
Mine will arrive when it arrives but as a matter of interest can I ask what method decides how these are dispatched ?
Is it by date ordered, date paid or is it purely random ?
Thanks.
Tony.
They should send you a card requesting payment but it will usually take a couple of days. I have found that sending An Post a message on Twitter is a good way of contacting them.
There's one common denominator in the above, well actually there's two, British & Chaos but the first one definitely caused the second on both occasions
You can get them here if needed.

They are the recommended non sound decoder for the A class.
I ordered two last week & they arrived this morning via UPS.

All packages have now arrived except for an unregistered package sent by an IOSS registered company Hattons from Liverpool of Sept 17th.
No way of tracking that so no idea where it is in the system.
No reason why a package from an IOSS registered company should be held up but we are dealing with An Post here ?
At this stage Dublin 12 Mails Centre might just as well be in outer Mongolia
People getting packages without paying any Vat, people paying Vat & not getting their packages & people being told their packages are being sent back when they've already been delivered.
They're just making it up as they go along.
An Post are getting huge flack from all quarters for their handling of this.
Things are going from one extreme to the other.
The UK retailer sent out a replacement order for the original package which I was told had failed the Customs scan & has been sitting in Dublin since Sept 17th. I paid the charges on this replacement package on Tuesday.
This morning a package was delivered but it was the original package which was supposed to be sent back to the UK. I didn't pay any charges at all on this package.
It seems An Post are just dealing with the backlog by just delivering the post without checking it at all
I can't complain I suppose as it saved me €26 but its still crazy
