    Hi Guys.

    Can anyone point me in the direction as to where the loyalty points scheme has gone to ?. I have tried this evening to access my account points to no avail. is there a known issue with this presently?

    Try clicking on the button I have highlighted in the screenshot - should bring up your dashboard with Rewards one of the options.

  2. I had a call from SLW to update my card details and check posting address, later got an email with a Royal Mail tracking link attached. 

     

    Looking forward to receiving 25324, it has been a long time coming but I know it will be worthwhile. 

     

    I'll upload some photos over the weekend.

  3. Managed to pick up 019 from Rails of Sheffield last week. I must say this new 56 is a superb model, captures the prototype brilliantly - the grilles are a work of art. 

     

    The sound file and speaker combination is the best I've ever heard on a OO model - looking forward to testing it on the layout once the EM wheels arrive. 

     

    It's so good I fancy another already, perhaps the EWS one.. 👍

    I went for a DCC ready version. Would a Dapol 8 Function decoder suffice for this model? I plan to upgrade to DCC later on. 

    It has been mentioned a few posts above by Cav that they are working on sorting a decoder specifically for the 56.

    Just watched the latest video on the rival magazines YouTube channel and it’s only heightened the anticipation for their arrival!

     

    From it I think I heard that the sound kit ie decoder and speaker will be made available separately?
     

    Is this the case? As if it is I’d rather order 3 non sound now as opposed to 2 sound fitted before they sell out and then retrofit sound later on when funds permit rather than just the one with sound.

     

    I'm sure I've read on the forum the Cavalex team confirming that this is the case.

     It would seem, from WNXX, that DB Cargo parking up their 60s might be down to another reason;

     

    “…they are not currently dispensed with but are not being used at the moment. It transpires an issue has been discovered with 60062, undergoing a B exam at Toton, which has caused the stopping of 60024 & 60074.”

     

    I would probably refrain from copying information from WNXX considering it's a subscription based website. The news section is not free.

  7. I would imagine you would have to enquire through the retailer that stock the Cavalex item as they don't sell direct as far as I know. 

     

    I do believe Colletts Models offer payment plans.

    Rather foolishly, i realise i didnt order the Accurathrash speaker to go in this so just gone onto the website and discovered they are out of stock with no indication of waiting time for fresh stock. Fingers crossed that the factory is hard at work to sate the forthcoming demand for the class 37 class 31 and class 50 orders.  Can i assume the loco will still emit some sound from the sound decoder output even if the accurathrash speaker is not plugged in ?

    Thanks

    I believe it will have the small sugar cube speaker installed and therefore will get some sound.
