Flying Snail Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Got my invoice this morning, paid now and on their way (to Ireland) Edit: I jumped the gun - while I paid for them on the morning of September 20, they were not fulfilled that day (As of October 11, I'm still waiting for confirmation that my order has been dispatched) Edited October 11 by Flying Snail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcorkrailway Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Question, has anyone at all managed to get the Black and Tan coach. I never ordered it but it seems that many found it missing when it came to brass tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) My order just appeared in my inbox this evening (NZ time) so friday morning EU time. B&T brakes included. Slight price rise but less than initially feared when first reading the email. Edited September 20 by chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meathdane Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Invoice received and paid, no issues, have the B&T van in there as well, odd that it's not appearing for some though Edited September 20 by meathdane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Invoice received today. Black and orange coaches definitely on invoice. Haven't had time to check that they combined all pre-orders correctly, but will do so tomorrow before paying. Looks correct at a glance. Great job, Rails! Where's that @Crossley fellow with an update on his order? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 As a side-note to the Genesis generic coaches, it looks like Rapido are getting in on the act by producing their own "Evolution" range of generic pre-group style 48ft non-corridor carriages. As ever, the question is: what are they based on? Is it a mix of different prototypes and, if so, which ones? Have they been compressed or stretched in any way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymurph Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Just got my invoice after sending a polite reminder email. The total I was charged came out at £10 dearer than Hattons original prices, which is fine. However the invoice didn't mention VAT at any stage so I guess I'll have to assume it was not charged and An Post will add EU VAT onto the total? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 HATTONS CIE 4 COACH PACK. As this is the last thing I will ever get from Hattons it's nice to end on a high. Lovely coaches with lots of detail and nice crisp lining and numbers. Thanks to Rails of Sheffield for taking this project on. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 1 hour ago, minister_for_hardship said: The flat roofed ones look MGWR-ish in profile at least. True, and the elliptical-roofed ones are vaguely DSER like. The clerestorey ones are as close as makes no odds to GSWR designs. The panelling on the LNWR ones is inappropriate to anything Irish bar the DNGR. None of the Hattons ones or these, unfortunately, are remotely like the BCDR or GNR, but the ncccis well enough catered for by repaints of quite a number of standard British LMS (not so much MR) designs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) 21 hours ago, Colin_McLeod said: Included in my invoice. 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.

No. Shipping to Ireland is separate - I was given two options: Parcelforce (£15) and DHL (£20). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Price originally advertised by Hattons was £120 and £33 for four pack and single coach respectively. Prices on my invoice with UK VAT removed are £108.29 and £29.13 and these prices equate to £129.95 and £35.95 with 20% VAT. E mail from Rails explains slight price increase: [quote]Due to the time elapsed since the announcement of the coaches, along with additional production costs and increased shipping charges, a slight increase in prices has become necessary. We have endeavoured to keep any price increases to a minimum. If you wish to cancel your order, we are happy to accommodate this request. Please be aware that any future stock that becomes available for sale will be priced higher than the current pre-order price offered to you.[quote] Postage to Ireland is not free. The £0.00 charge appears because I had not yet, at the time of the screenshot selected my shipping option.

Markleman Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 My BnT 6 wheeler arrived on Friday. Cost £34.95 incl UK VAT plus £4.00 postage. Looking good so far. Runs very freely. I will have to change the tension locks but then I always do. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
