Georgeconna Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Exactly why I will be having a purge over the next month to try and get rid of 100's plastic kits before the deadline. Most of the buyers are UK too so prudent to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but customers of RTR products should not have to do that, only skilled enthusiasts perhaps. Products should just work out of the box as they do in this case, without need for modifications.

murphaph Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I wonder how strict customs will be on the 1st of January. I can imagine they might show some degree of leniency and wave through parcels postmarked December and only start stopping stuff actually posted from the first. It's important because the postal system will choke up straight away due to the amount of UK->IRL parcels that currently go through virtually no customs processing. Parcels posted second class before the end of the year could easily get stuck behind parcels posted later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) 18 hours ago, Bob229 said: Excellent must get a sound decoder for 121, Thanks for your help Noel PS: Opps just thought of this. For anybody getting a decoder to run on a DC layout, please ensure your provider enables the DC bit of CV29 so that it will run on DC. If you have a DCC controller that's easy to do oneself, but assuming anybody getting a 121 decoder to run on DC won't have a DCC controller to programme the decoder. Alternatively visit a pal who has a DCC system, pop loco on the test track and make the setting. Some system have nice english menus that guide through the steps rather than you needing to know CV values. EDIT: The default setting for the DC operation setting may or may not be set out of the box. Edited November 6, 2020 by Noel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that I read recently somewhere that UK businesses have openly stated that they won't be ready to adopt the new customs systems by January 1st, so whatever happens with a choke-up, it will probably be even worse than we can imagine!

Indeed! We did state a number of months ago that we were working on a range of contingencies for Brexit and indeed anyone who ordered a Murphy models DCC decoder from us in the last month would’ve had direct next day delivery via on post from our new facility. All 121 and future IRM shipments will go directly from Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
