murphaph Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Is it going to be the default practice to send all items singly from now on with DHL Express or is it just a one off for the A's? How will the forthcoming Taras be shipped, for example? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Apologies for any confusion gentlemen - If you ordered 4 A's on a SINGLE Order, we'll ship 4 locos in the box. If you ordered 4 A's over 4 Orders, the default will be that you get 4 parcels. We ship complete orders at a time, not single locos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend, the standard decoders for the A, When will you envisage this coming back into stock? You can get them here if needed. https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/Digital/Decoder+without+sound/ESU-59659/gb/modell_330091.html They are the recommended non sound decoder for the A class.

Warbonnet Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi everyone, Just a quick update; we are powering though the pre-orders best we can, but we can see it taking another 5 working days to clear the backlog, such is the demand for these beauties. We are going as quick as we can, all hands are on deck, but emails asking "where is my order?" is just slowing the process down really. If you havent had any tracking information for your pre-order by this time next week then by all means, email us, but in the meantime we will plough on and get them out as quick as we can. Thank you for your continued patience and we are sure you agree that the finished models are worth the wait! Should you be looking to merge orders, than by all means let us know! Cheers!

johnfromoz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Just a quick note of praise for the top notch, ever courteous and efficient communications from Pat and Stephen over my three orders. I’m sure the pressure is on over there, yet they respond quickly and professionally to questions re-orders etc. Well done lads.

MD220 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 2 out of my 3 A class have arrived here in Co.Down safe and sound, the 3rd is on its way. Everything about these models screams quality, from the packaging right down to the locos themselves. They are absolutely top notch! I haven't had a chance to run them yet, I'm saving that until tomorrow, but I know they won't disappoint. Well done IRM, first class job. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SERIOUS point; post office services worldwide are banjaxed by the ongoing creep of privatisation and the insistence that they must concentrate on a few more profitable services rather than providing a good overall service to all of the public…… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I got a phone call yesterday from Marks Models that my pre-order was in stock. I went in, paid for it and collected it. I got the Super livery A Class 018 number locomotive. Brilliant package and I loved the booklet that accompanied it. Top quality model. I’m looking forward to my models from IRM, I’m getting a few models. Great service from Marks Models.

Mike 84C Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thanks to the lads at IRM A 46 arrived yesterday. What a model! I think its the most detailed model diesel I have ever seen, let alone owned, museum quality is the phrase I would use. And we get to operate them. I also liked the booklet, a nice touch a little extra! Packaging that holds the model safely and it looks like first class QC. A high standard to set yourselves IRM! Only downside I can see is will I want to run my Silver Fox A & C at the same time as my IRM A? I'll just grit my teeth and man up! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARNE CABIN Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 027 arrived at Larne Harbour this morning......... ........super packaging for posting, super presentation and an absolutely superb loco, unbelievable!

Broithe Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 For my own logistical reasons, I have asked the lads to hang onto mine for a couple of weeks - this, of course, means that I may have a postal slot for sale. Sealed bids, obviously. Sealed in a brown envelope - cash only. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
