Well I only wanted a non sound version as it wouldn't be going anywhere. Hoping to get one of the last O gauge green deltics from Tower instead, STUFF EM!

Yeah well that's what they told me about 4 weeks ago, but despite several emails and phone calls later still heard nothing. Looks like I'll be taking my money to spend at Tower Models Blackpool, at least it's not too much trouble to them to deal with their customers.

I have to admit to being a bit more than p155ed off with the people at "Locomotion". I contacted them a couple of weeks ago to ask if there were any cancelled orders, they quickly replied to inform me that there was. Yippee thinks me, however after sending further emails as I would like to pay for one to make sure I get one, I cannot get any reply from them, I also rang but to no avail. To ignore customers is not just bad, it's also very rude!

Interesting that Tower models are saying nothing :-/

Ordered mine today

Hi Charlie, I'd love to buy one of these excellent models but would prefer one in the original "metro" livery. Can I take it from your post above that these will be made available in due course? Many thanks.

What he /\ said :-)

Did anyone on here buy a two tone green deltic ? I can just about afford to buy one more 0 gauge loco, so the choice is down to a green deltic or maroon western, both are getting a bit thin on the ground and I've not yet seen a green deltic. My concern is how it looks given the problem with the nose side grille and the light green lower body side colour. Any help much appreciated :-)

Yep, my mistake, 1000 apologies even more it was you. I got the wrong link/seller. It was this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dapol-class-52-western-in-blue-/360655958613?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item53f8c53255&nma=true&si=5k87rbSZ%252BnloJyYmdFjte9UOnlg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Senior moment

I don't sell on there either for the same reason. Here's the link for anyone interested, but if you were to search completed listings you'd see more than a few surprises regarding Dapol Westerns, from the ridiculous to the sublime. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dapol-CLASS-52-WESTERN-BR-GREEN-D1038-WESTERN-SOVEREIGN-/230984937386?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item35c7c66faa&nma=true&si=5k87rbSZ%252BnloJyYmdFjte9UOnlg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Yep, I saw that, think it sold for about £88, the seller had some iffy feedback although he'd previously sold another Dapol Western to a highly satisfied customer.

Why should you have to do all this with a loco costing around £130?

So is anyone going to share a picture of the latest MSYE with those of us who haven't yet seen any of them in the flesh?

Nowt wrong with them Richard! all looking good and on a really nice layout from what I can see. I've just been to the local MR shop but they still haven't got any Dapol ones in. As I haven't seen one for real yet I can't say for sure, but my plan is to buy one to add to my collection, the rest of my Heljan's are staying.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this blue one is the best we've seen so far!
