I know what you're saying @57xx but I'm a believer in backing these relatively new manufacturers after they've gone the extra mile to ask what we wanted. I remember the survey of a few years back. OK there's been a few hiccups along the way but would we have had the same choices or versions from Bachmann or Hornby for a van or open wagon. I still have high hopes that Rapido's B set will blow people away. Maybe I'm deluded but I couldn't build/paint the Comet kit and detail the interior to that standard offered, all for 70 sheets each. I can wait for the prices to come down or miss out but I think life is too short and buy today as sometimes tomorrow never comes.

My money would be chocolate and cream with shirt button Rich @The Fatadder

No mention of these in your latest newsletter @RapidoCorbs and just wondering how they are progressing and when we'll see decorated livery samples.

I've got Friesian cows on my South Hams backscene set in the 1940s.😉

Send them back to your retailer and get a refund.

Is it possible to drill the hole bigger so they do go through.

I've just seen who purchased the two panniers.😉

Did you notice the slight price increase John 😟 , having said that we really have never had it so good.👍

Here are some of the Rail's images for completeness and as shewn on my layout thread. Composite. Third. Crimson.

You can get tablets these days for that so I’m told.

Indeed but it would be pushing it to have a livery from 1928-34 still in 1947 ! 😉

Photo of the ''twin cities'' composite courtesy of Chris Nevard/Kernow. Outstanding livery application.

Dapol have also done this on their crimson versions.

Shirt-button and brown, the latter I hope sells really well to encourage Dapol and others to do more stock in this livery.

The liveries of the current release batch are now on Rail’s , more anon. Composite Third.

Damn, I was relying on you to do the review and photos @sjrixon

They all count when you're pushing for the play offs my old Janner.😉

Not the ones I ordered.😟

I can vouch for the green being an improvement, I can also vouch for the black being abhorrent.

Fox for me , 247 a close second. https://www.fox-transfers.co.uk/gwr-cabside-numberplates-4666

I’m absolutely shocked, stunned and heartbroken in equal measures. An icon of British radio and up there with Terry Wogan and other greats. So many happy memories.

Feel free to advertise them on my thread @Tony Wright

To be fair the Accurascale banana vans have been delayed too but the difference is they keep their customers and retailers in the loop.😉

Apparently, according to Dapol on Facebook, they are still at sea and they don't know where the boat/ship is due to shipping issues.
