LocomotionatShildon

Hi all I'm glad the launch of not one but three atlantics today has been so well received. The models are simply stunning as some pics posted on here show. After reading all the comments so far I would like to clarify a couple of things. The models will hopefully arrive at locomotion either the end of this year or early 2015. I know the website confuses people sometimes as it says 'in stock' when it isn't. That's just the way the website works I'm afraid. If I put a zero in the box it wouldn't show as available to buy so I do try to put the info on there somewhere. We have exclusivity on the c1 Atlantic so if you want one , buy one! It was nice to meet a couple of rm webbers today, so thank you Ian and mike! The images on the website for the BR and lner versions are as in service. Sorry I mix up k1 and k2 tenders but they will be correct for the liveries. Have I answered everything.? If not, just shout and I'll do my best to give you the info Thank you to everyone involved today, sorry I was a few minutes late 'pushing the button' but it was a great day and to see how well the announcement was received makes me quite proud to be part of it. I am now shifting a load of paper to make sure all orders are recorded and I don't lose any!! Sandra

Graham Hubbard from Bachmann will be here to announce the model at 12.30. Could also be another surprise for you as no-one Seems to have mentioned anything else........hmmmmm? Unless the delicious buffet distracts me from working, I will 'push the button ' around the same time. You can sleep soundly tonight!

Hi guys The issue number you have will be the number of the certificate with your model and it's my own list. Dcc ready certificates will start at no 1 and dcc with sound certificates will also start at no 1. If you order by telephone we can tell you straight away what it is but if you order online pm me on here and I will get back to you with certificate number. Cheers

I have buried my head in the sand for the best part of today but decided I must read everyone's comments. To the ones that do know - thanks for skirting around it, To the ones that don't know yet - I hope you like the model when you hear about it on Tuesday. It will be available to prebuy on the website and in the gift shop from Tuesday . Cheers

Hi guys Not long now until the launch of our new super duper exclusive model in conjunction with Bachmann. Around lunchtime on Tuesday 29th all the juicy details will be on the website, or, if you are not too far away, come along and see for yourself! (We will have an ep sample of the new model on display ) I can guarantee most of you will absolutely love it!! ( I say most 'cos we can't please everyone!)

You can reserve a model with us although it will be at hornbys rrp. That said, at least you will be sure to get one.

Hi Sandra is at Locomotionmodels.com and working with Rapido Cheers Sandra at locomotionmodels.com btw , the certificate numbers start at No 1 for both the DCC Ready and Sound versions, just in case anyone was wondering.

My best efforts

If you have ordered online you will need to inbox me and I will find your number

I am not much of a photographer as those who know me will testify, but I'll try to get a half decent pic

No problem. It has to stay in the cabinet though.

Well the P2 and the rest will be under lock and key!! Oooh...what project????? Please inbox me and tell me what I'm doing!!! I can't keep a secret so they must have left me out of it!!

You can always pre order a P2 with us here. Inbox me and I'll add you to my list. I never accept a pre order unless I know I have those models coming in. If you are at the Hartlepool show this weekend I have some Hornby engineering samples you can see. I have a railroad P2, Drummond 700, D16/3, Class K1, 2-HAL, BR MK2 intercity +lights and a RR 9F. Looking at them now and the Drummond is very nice! See you there

It should also be on our facebook page later today

I couldn't see the video from links on here but I have seen the clip on fb with a googley eyed apt-e. If it's the same one, I thought it was brilliant and funny ! Well done ! I will try and get it on locomotions Facebook page today so you can watch it

Hornby already have a 'SilverJubilee' set albeit Railroad with Silver Coaches.

So... we are looking at Hornby A4s,.Silver King and Silver Fox, in silver or green?..and apple green... some shopping list. Oh and coaches too? Hmmmmm..let me think about this one for a while

Apple green A4 sounds good.... I'll have to have a word....but for the moment other nice things in the pipeline.

Oops wrong thread...........Bachmann !!! ( I will get the hang of this posting yet )

If anyone is interested in Union of South Africa in BR green I have some due in a few weeks time Also thinking of silver link and silver king as a pair, also in BR green. Let me have your opinions on those. Cheers

I have a question which others may want to know the answer to.... Jason can you help with this... Will the DCC sound version of the APT work on a DC track? Is there a little bit of a whistle possible? Cheers

Give in !! You know you will in the end !

www.locomotionmodels.com and follow the link under the big pic of the APT-E. If you want to find us via the NRM website, you need to go to 'shop' and scroll all the way to the bottom to find a locomotionmodels.com link

Every order that comes in is given an issue number - these will correspond with the certificates. If you ring to place your order we can tell you straight away. If you order online give us a call and we can tell you what it is. They are issued in the order they are received whether online or telephone. Cheers

Hi Unfortunately we don't have a whizz bang website so it doesn't know how to add everything together and decide if it is a 'bundle' or not. The way it works is the best way we could do it. The free p&p for paying the full price is a small incentive that won't last for long.
