Fran Super Excited! These locos took me to School in the early 70’s on  the Carrickfergus- Larne Line. I can’t wait to receive them!

Hunslets rarely seen on the Larne Line in the 1970s except for Cloghan Point spoil trains

It's the little details....

I'm really bending rule one to justify these but I don't think I'm going to be disappointed

These are gonna be fabulous locos!!!

[murphaph]

Are these in stock already? My shop account is saying that payment is due but I didn't get an email. Are they being shipped with the Park Royals? Payment isn't due on those for another few days though.

Hopefully ship together in one whopper order to save on import fees!

Both are in the warehouse but bear in mind we don’t merge orders unless you ask us to 

[murphaph]

I don't need to merge orders thanks. It's fine by me if they are shipped separately but how do I actually pay for them? Neither order has a "pay now" button. I have options to download invoicem track order and request return but I see no "pay now" option anywhere, either for the Park Royals or the Hunslets.

[DJ Dangerous]

For anybody panicking over paying their orders, don’t worry, you’re not losing it, there is no option to pay via the A/S website.

Just email Support and they will email you a link to pay.

Try:

supportteam@accurascale.com

support@accurascale.com

support@irishrailwaymodels.com

I find that Andrew, Patrick and Stuart are usually quite prompt at replying,

Keep an eye on your own SPAM / junk / unwanted folder in case their reply ends up in there.

Oooooooooooh

All that's left is to work out how to re-gauge to 21mm.....

[Warbonnet]

Hi folks,

I can confirm that the Hunslets will begin shipping to customers later next week (w/c June 1st) along with the IRM Park Royal coaches.

Order here: https://www.accurascale.ie/collections/nir-101-dl-class-hunslet

Boom time for Irish outline!

Cheers!

Some tedious work ahead, fitting 300. + passengers to 16 coaches.

That said, some enjoyable work allocating 4 digit loco addresses to four sound fitted Hunslet locos.

The really strange thing is that when I paid for the second Park Royal, this came via what looked like an automated e-mail rather than me having to contact Support. Not had the same for the Hunslet yet.

Possible that the Hunslets are arriving ahead of schedule so the automated payment reminders aren’t due for a while?

Very true but i hope im not getting another lot of 7 big boxes arriving again as its 7 seperate orders its an extra cost to irm and also bad for the environment

I’ve been living on the beach the past few months. It’s not so bad…

Don’t worry, they have much bigger boxes nowadays. 15kg or 16kg limit per box, so you’ll be grand.

Yes, but it's practically all beach where you live

After sending an enquiry today to Accurascale I got an email from them with a payment link for the Hunslets that I ordered.

Cheers
