Class 50 Delivery Update!

[Warbonnet]

Now that all our Class 31s have landed (except 31285 which is in customs, but due in our warehouse next week!) it's time to turn our attentions to the next locomotive due to arrive, our lovely Class 50s!

As reported in our recent Class 89 update, we sent a delegation to China to oversee the production completion of several locomotive projects, including the Class 50. As well as company Director, Patrick and Production Manager Steve, Class 50 Project Manager Gareth was on hand to check out the final details of our hoovers first hand as they roll off the production line.

When it came to analysing testing of the models, it came apparent that the wrong type of resistor had been used on the circuit boards. So, these are all getting replaced to ensure the correct functionality of the models. It was great to be there directly and work through this with the factory engineers who brought it to our attention. 

A simple thing that makes a big difference. 

Overall, we're delighted with our vacs, and they're looking splendid overall! 

With the rectification work on the PCBs, production is now due to be complete next week, when they will ship to our warehouse in the UK and arrive with us in late May.

We're pretty much sold out of our 50s, but we do have run 2 lined up to launch pretty soon, and we will always have some spares, so make sure you register with the website to get those availability emails on the running number you want.

Make sure you check out your local retailer too for availability!
