RMweb Premium JDW Posted December 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2016 Its true, they do look nice, but for me the idea of replacing 9 Lima/Hornby ones with Realtrack ones makes my bank account shudder a bit too much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centraltrains Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi, Does anyone know how long real track take to respond to complaints (faulty model)? I emailed them on info@realtrackmodels.co.uk (as per website) and they haven't replied now, nearly 2 weeks on from original email. I re-sent it on Sunday and still no response...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted March 17, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'd just like to say a big thank you to Charlie !! 1 of my 4 units stopped working a few weeks ago, no movement & the lights momentarily lit before fading out again, when power was applied. I spoke to Charlie at Doncaster exhibition, & after checking I was happy to disassemble the model, he suggested disconnecting the motor to see what happened with the lights. I thought I'd leave it until the current project on my workbench was complete, so I hadn't yet got round to following his idea. 2 days ago an envelope arrived at my house containing a new motor, which I have now fitted & the unit is working perfectly again !! Once again, a big thank you to Charlie for such great customer service !! Cheers, Phil. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted April 15, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2017 have you any plans to do the 3 car 144s as yet and the original metro livery Thanks to a parcel from Charlie (thanks Charlie!) I've just started modifying a unit to produce a 3-car one, as a follow up to doing the same to a DC Kits resin one. It'll be a slow project, but the first pic is on my new workbench thread. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie This is brilliant news Charlie. Thank you for posting. Please could you re-run some of the previous liveries from the last batch? I would really like some FGW local lines 143s and some Northern purple liveried 144s. I missed out on all of these models because I wasn't aware of them until they sold out. I would also like the Wessex and GWR Green liveried Class 143s. Edited March 6, 2018 by DRS Crewe On A Mission Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Excellent! My wallet is waiting! TBH though, I think it would be a money maker to get the GWR out ASAP with the original chassis as you have the tooling sat there - where as the livery is doing to be distinct by 2019! I have not encountered any problems with the chassis on my FGW 143? I am amazed by the second hand prices, must confess I am rather tempted to sell mine on. But then, the damned Pacer has charmed me into staying! Such a horrific train, but so admirable for doing exactly what it was designed for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted March 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2018 Wish I'd bought both ATW versions of the 143 - prices secondhand are silly Looks like further runs of Pacers may be viable? But I guess Realtrack won't want the risk of carrying stock, and we know how fickle demand for reruns can be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
