Hi, Excellent, some 1/148 variety to add to my NGS Warwells 😎 Regards, Gerry.

Hi, Balance payment request received today and paid 😎 Regards, Gerry.

Hi And a dozen ARC for me too - probably with a top up later if possible. Regards, Gerry.

Hi, According to an RoS newsletter I received Saturday (and now on the RoS website) these are "Expected December/January: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/Dapol-n-gauge-expected-december-january?sortValue=7&_kx=hOoCLVQSv_Z3aDIE-wgKZjFVOvCTQZJQ5TkU8xuQ7_g%3D.RXkVMS&utm_campaign=Dapol N%2C OO and O Gauge Releases&utm_id=01HFHHRCX3BGQ6PVSFCC8CAPGD&utm_medium=campaign&utm_source=Klaviyo Regards, Gerry.

Hi, I now have an email from PayPal that RoS have taken an amount which equates to said Exe DCC Sound order, usally RoS notification follows within a couple of days and the parcel arrives within a couple more.. Regards, Gerry. RoS email received Exe arrived safely Saturday, missing the bag of 'essentials' - a message to RoS resulted in a very rapid positive response and expect postie to deliver replacement in the next couple of days - my thanks to John G there for the help 😎

Hi, and at 11:50, quick snap: Regards, Gerry.

Hi, email received this morning that my 4 non-dcc coaches from RoS should be with me by 12:27 😎 Regards, Gerry.

Hi, My sound dcc Yeo arrived from RoS yesterday, as with PaulRhB I had to reassemble the same parts, fortunately without any difficulty. The box had a very slight crimp on one corner. The email from RoS notified me that Exe would follow "later". Regards, Gerry.

Hi Ged, I'd agree with you wholeheartedly, but patiently awaiting my balance invoice as the guys are undoubtedly up to their ears in invoicing and getting stuff shipped out presently. I'm just that little bit jealous in that I had arranged to pick mine up at GETS along with 3 class 128s (yes, that kinda railway!) but my carer went poorly so we couldn't go, I know they'll turn up soon enough. I do know what you mean though as that's exactly how I feel about the flowing silk version (my carer prefers the full Avanti having seen the real ones) and it's presentation packaging when it arrived not so long ago. This will also be my fourth! Regards, Gerry.

Hi, Just paid the balances on my 3, slightly complicated by filling in the form to collect these and the Pendolino set at GETS but then no-showing due to a poorly carer. I did contact form RevolutioN on Sunday morning to advise them, and now feeling a little less envious knowing they will be with me presently. Regards, Gerry.

Hi, Yes, also just received an email notification from Hattons on pre-orders for the new batch of 5-car sets but, not yet at least, the 9-car. Regards, Gerry. And now also Train Trax an RoS with the Paddington set.

Hi, Maurice of Osborn's posted a link on groups.io for Paddington pre-orders early last week with a precise "due Feb 29th 2024" https://www.osbornsmodels.com/kato-10-1673-british-railways-class-8000-gwr-paddington-bear-5-cars-set-n-scale-57122-p.asp I was expecting more dealers to follow by now but maybe there's some sort of big spending event coming up that they may be more focused on. Regards, Gerry.

Hi, Just been notified of price increases on pre-orders, £169.95 jumping to £189.97 - DCC Ready. Asking if I wish to accept 🤣 Regards, Gerry.

Hi, My triplet handed over by postie yesterday, perhaps to save on packaging 3 of the extra 8 ordered 40's already loaded! Very nice to add to the originals 😎 I still have some Shapeways prints in my 'to do' drawer so I guess I'm well stocked up on these now... Regards, Gerry.
