Not really, that was a one off that slipped out of the warehouse and I know why it happened.
We are working on the VAT situation in the background and will only be shipping orders once we are happy that people won’t be getting VAT requests. Should be all in place in the next few days and then the floodgates from the warehouse will really open

I promised a completely Bulleid train.

First the fake one with the re-gauged "Leader".

Lovely wagons, by the way, guys. Run very freely - I found that my supposedly level layout had a slight gradient! Congratulations!

 

Or with a loco which Oliver Bulleid ordered for use in Ireland. I don't have a steel-sided CIE brake, sorry. This one's a kit masterfully built by young Nelson.

I just got a VAT invoice from DPD this morning requesting payment before they'll release my wagons (on which I've already paid VAT). Someone has screwed up.

 

Same here, I’ll give support a shout….

Ouch! A bit of price gouging:

I'm hoping there are a few grain vans left over for me to pick up at a more sensible price.

Totally agree with you.

Might not be price-gouging if they paid:

...extra.

Has happened to me several times, not necessarily IRM stuff, just with Customs in general.

I suppose we also need to factor in the recent ebay policy change that adds a buyer’s fee to the price.

My two packs of H vans have arrived - unfortunately I won't get to enjoy them until the weekend due to a work trip.

Just been browsing the IRM wagon section on the Accurascale website - looks like every single wagon across all the products has sold out?  Including all the Bulleid opens?

Also - I understand about streamlining etc but does anyone else miss the dedicated IRM website...... 

Great work IRM, yet again!

The ebay price is some 60% greater than the IRM price, say no more.

Say no more: there is no one forcing anyone to pay an inflated price. 

Just wait for the wagons to show up on the second hand market, swapmeets or deceased estate sales.

As an old work mate used to say there was no barbed wire on the door forcing a guy to spend all his wages in the pub.

I'm very pleased to say that both my packs have arrived safely this morning and I can show a Bulleid train on my photo plank. 

Thank you, IRM!

I now have 4 packs of IRM Bulleid wagons awaiting regauging, modification and weathering - I can foresee a production line and might get started this weekend while I wait for the E class chassis etch.

The fitted brake gear is exquisite but is going to be harder to regauge than the hand-braked version - a nice challenge.

I might even do a green one with extended buffers?
