PRESS RELEASE NEW LOCOMOTIONMODELS.COM EXCLUSIVE EDITION MODEL ‘National Collection in Miniature’ series Great Western Railway (GWR) No. 2516 Dean Goods Class Produced by Oxford Rail Locomotionmodels.com is delighted to announce the release of the latest Exclusive Edition in the ‘National Collection in Miniature’ model railway series – a finely detailed model of GWR No. 2516 Dean Goods Class, produced by Oxford Rail, and available in either DCC ready or with Sound versions. The National Railway Museum’s Dean Goods locomotive no. 2516 is currently housed at STEAM – The Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, Wiltshire. It was made in the same town in 1897, and was one of a class that worked all over the GWR network on light goods and passenger trains. A large number of its classmates were sent abroad in both World Wars, but No. 2516 spent most of its working life in Wales and the Borders. It was taken out of service in May 1956 for preservation, and was the last but one of its type in British Railways service. Restored in the 1960s for display, it currently appears at it would have done in the late 1920s Great Western green livery. This is the first ‘National Collection in Miniature’ series model to be produced by Oxford Rail in an exciting new partnership with Locommotionmodels.com. The CAD design for the model has been fully inspected by NRM Curators, and the model will feature key details such as the correct firebox. The model will have the ever popular high gloss finish, and will be supplied in a beautiful wooden presentation case, with numbered certificate and detailed fittings. An EP sample of the model and presentation box will be on display at the Locomotionmodels.com stand at the Warley Model Railway Show on November 26 and 27, 2016. All profits generated from the sale of National Collection in Miniature models are re-invested into the ongoing work to conserve, expand and display the National Railway Collection and National Collection in Miniature. For more information, or to reserve your model - priced £125 for DCC Ready and £225 for Sound - please contact the Locomotionmodels team on 01904 685785 or visit www.locomotionmodels.com.

Hello We had a bit of a a mammoth wrapping session yesterday and lots of orders were fulfilled and collected by The courier yesterday afternoon. Watch out for them this morning as they start to be delivered! We had a model in the display case at the Shed Bash all last week and it attracted lots of admiring glances! This is another superb model just wait till you see it in the flesh!, Cheers Sandra

Hi Please pm me your name and I'll check and resend Cheers Sandra

Hi, should be sorted and running on the layout by tomorrow! Cheers Sandra

That sounds like an excellent idea to me!!

However, it has been a long long time from announcement to delivery with more than a few headaches on my part, but to read the reviews in the magazines and on here too has been fantastic. It is a brilliant model and I have had more comments from people saying how superb they think it is, and it is! It's been a bit like christmas every day for the past couple of months and it doesn't matter how young or not so young you are, you are all big kids at heart and are so excitable about the APT-e! I've loved (nearly) every minute of this project, now, how can we top this one?? Cheers Sandra

YES!!!

Hi, I've sent a pm to you. Model in Australia but needs you to contact ups. Cheers San

Hi all I'm on holiday today because it's a bank holiday but I'll check the thread throughout the day. Any queries, problems etc let me know Cheers San

Hi mark What's your surname and I can check those tomorrow and get them sent out. Ring or text or pm Cheers Sandra

Hello everyone, I'm a busy bee but all apt-es that are paid for in full will be shipped this week. I hope everyone who has paid for sound already has their model. (Well you should have) all dcc ready versions are on their way to you over the next few days. It's cheaper to send by courier than by post, and easier too. I will be checking rmweb all night and will answer any questions you may have so fire away! i also have my mobile to hand so ring me if you want to 07766 785333. (7.00 til 7.30 excluded because of emmerdale) Cheers Sandra

Hi all, we are working hard to get these sets out as quickly as possible. For those who already have them, you know how big and heavy the boxes are so when you've shifted a few of those around in a day it wears us out!! Shane, i think yours is going out this week as I've been making out courier labels all day and I have certainly made at least one label for a Shane ( I hope you are the same one!) I think we are half way or just over sending them out so still a way to go yet... Cheers Sandra

Hi Keith Ring me tonight if you can and we'll sort it out. As long as it's not during Emmerdale.... Cheers Sandra

I'll remember this statement.....I may just take you up on that next time around!

I am at home now but please call my mobile 07766 785333 tonight if you want to. Cheers Sandra I was thinking the same thing for the next model!!

If you ordered coaches a long time ago online you will have paid for them already. Cheers Sandra

Hi everyone, We are very busy in here as you all know! I have sent out a newsletter today to explain the shipping process I will be following in the coming days. I have said it before but please be patient. Everyone who has paid in full is working their way through our system and the models will be with you as quickly as possible. Any customer who orders late will have their orders processed after everyone else is happy. If you haven't subscribed to our newsletter, here is what it said APT-E Dispatch information Due to the increase in telephone calls, emails and people popping in to the museum it is increasingly difficult to get models sent out as quickly as we would like. We did say that shipping for the APT-E models would take a few weeks, and it will. Please be patient and your models will be with you as quickly as possible. A good number of both Sound and Non Sound sets have already been dispatched and the process for sending out the remaining models will be as follows- All paid for Sound models will be followed by Sound models with Trailing Cars. Then, all paid for DCC Ready Non-Sound models will be shipped followed by DCC Ready Non-Sound with Trailing Cars. Unfortunately you will not be able to collect models from the museum unless a time and date has been pre-arranged. The APT-E sets are stored in a separate location. The models office and the dispatch room will be closed at weekends.
