This is my experience too. Except ive had 3 estimates of delivery times when ive contacted them and none have transpired. I appreciate they have been overwhelmed, but a quick update email now and then to say what order numbers they are upto surely isnt expecting too much. I paid for my Blue 25 in full last November, but with a combination of a change in layout plans and my patience running out this has led me to email them to cancel my order and request a full refund. I only need one 25 and I prefer the earlier blue version of which i have one on order. Ive 4 class 24s but ill be selling some due to my change in plans, they are without doubt the best quality. Im sure lessons will have been learnt and will make it a better experience next time around for all concerned.

I spoke to slw a few weeks ago about my sound 25 as i paid for it in full last November and had heard nothing from them since. I was told to allow another few weeks which by my estimate means it should be with me by end of this month. Fingers crossed.

A few more GWR station and associated building kits here TimberTracks

These look like good kits and maybe worth consideration. Rhoystyllen Station Helston Station You havnt mentioned which scale your modelling in, these are 4mm but they do other scales and different buildings. 🙂

Well the link in the post above yours still works and was updated in January so id guess so

I dont think it needs endless discussion on the whats and wherefores Vote with your wallet. You Pays your money and makes your choice. Manufacturers will learn from what sells and what doesnt. Buy what makes you happy !

Should that be Clagged to bits !

Good idea, thank you

Thanks for clear instructions just in case. My 56008 arrived with ine wheel set off the cradle but i do not have a dcc controller to test yet. Can i do a simple mechanical test run using a dc gaugemaster combi ? I ask as ive heard of people frying chips with feedback controllers but im pretty sure the combi isnt one of these but would prefer some reassurance before testing :-) Many thanks

I havnt got a DCC controller at the moment for my 56008 sound edition. Am I ok to test its running with a Gaugemaster Combi? Thanks

I think a few pages back RBE mentioned that any issues should be reported back to the retailer in the first instance.

That must be one big layout to get all those on !!

Hi, I ordered from Rails, no fast delivery selected. Just their standard free included DPD delivery.

Well 56008 has just arrived, less than 24 hours from clicking Pay Now to knock at the door. Im in total awe of this model, I can only describe it as museum quality. I must have spent 5 minutes just staring at all the bogie detail, its so exquisite its almost as if the mechanics, springs and brake blocks would happily move. My wife actually asked me if I was ok as I had gone quiet for a while ! Hoping BR Blue 56002 maybe in the pipeline for one of the next batches, according to my notes my late father spotted it 1984 so that would be a special one for me. Surely a contender for model of the year. A big thank you to Cav and Alex for bringing this model to market. Their obsession with detail is truly astounding and all I can say is when your model arrives just sit with it for a while and enjoy looking it over and their hard work and dedication will dazzle you. Thank you chaps.

Ordered 56008 with Rails at lunchtime today and 3 and a half hours later it was in a DPD van.
