6892 Oakhill Grange Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Edwardian would prefer one with a correct firebox, rivets in the right places and proper cab cutout. Just like you two he is likely to be disappointed. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I'm waiting with popcorn on standbye for when they arrive, and RMweb can once again resound to the sound of "IT'S WRONG, IT'S ALLLLLLL WROONGGGEGEGG" Alex Edited June 8, 2017 by Midland Mole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the popcorn, I'll stick to a crate of cider and we'll see how many bottles have to be consumed before it looks "acceptable" Hmmm... Perhaps all model railway magazine reviews should include a bottle index, the less the better.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 57xx Posted June 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2017 Edwardian would prefer one with a correct firebox, rivets in the right places and proper cab cutout. Just like you two he is likely to be disappointed. At least he has some standards that he looks for rather than just blindly accepting any old mediocre rubbish that suppliers think they can fob off on to people. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Given all that has been written about this model, would you buy when the only image still looks to be a doctored pre-production one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Brave man, ok it will look like a Dean Goods but I would like to see the finished product before I buy I don't feel like a brave man.

Hroth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That was quietly done. Quietly, but not quite hush-hush. It had been announced that the first Goods would be delivered by the end of June, we're in the second half of the month (eeep!) and it looks like its about to happen. Batten down the hatches, tin hats on lads, etc.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60006 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Despite not having a DG on order myself I hope things turn out well with these as I do have a number of other Oxford items on order. I am sure we will find out before too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 ... I feel like a railway modeller who has spotted something of use to him RTR. It surely is a very useful item, has those 'Ramsbottom/Crewe' running gear dimensions y'see. That's why I will probably be purchasing at some point: there hasn't been a nominal 5' wheel 7'3"+8'3" loco drive produced before. Very useful for a number of other subjects, for an idle type like me who won't build an OO mech if a good RTR option offers. (I'll let youse guys test it to destruction first, before venturing any cash.) Anything GW sells s/h, so no problems selling on any offcuts to defray expense.

Hroth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Of course, there is dispute about the Roman use of thumbs up/down. Its alleged that in the arena, DOWN meant to spare the loser, whilst UP meant despatch the poor devil. Soooooooooo..... You like the Dean Goods after all?

SDJR7F88 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Been very much looking forward to the models arrival since it's announcement at the beginning of last year. Hopefully the issues pointed out have been corrected, though I'm no expert on the class, it still looks to be a cracking model. Any idea on if the boiler is diecast? Or is it just the chassis and running plate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted June 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2017 That was quietly done. There's a full page advert in the new July BRM, including two of the locos on a layout. Looks like the earlier samples though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Are we getting a horrible feeling that the firebox shape issue has not been addressed, as it seemed from the NRM version it had, or are they going to sell two versions, one with the castings already made and used, and one with corrected firebox for the NRM. The pictures issued still seem to have the wrong profile to the cab as well, again meant to have been sorted on the NRM versions. As pointed out time after time by others on here, these are not small errors, they are big errors, making the model look different in serious amounts from the real thing. The careful release seems to indicate they have got to take care, and not raise a storm of criticism all at once. Lets hope the performance is 100%, that may make up a lot for the detail problems.

coachmann Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Oh dear.....around and around and around..... The good news....... The images might be out of date. The bad news........ The model might come out as originally envisaged by Oxford. The good news...... Oxford just might have corrected some of the matters that were raised on here. The bad news.......... The model might feature incorrect firebox profile, wrongly shaped cab cut-out, rivets in wrong places etc etc etc... The good news........ The model might be totally perfect in every detail... The obvious............. We have two choices...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdaley Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) It's very simple for me really. If the major mistakes have been rectified I will buy one & if not I won't. Edited June 18, 2017 by amdaley 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
