apt-e Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi all, Just heard that the wheels will be delayed until next week. I have ordered from two separate company's, one in Whitby and the other in Sheffield, so something should turn up very soon. The display model is now complete so will post some new photos before the end of the week. This version of PoP is virtually a completely new model, new everything just about. Everyone stay safe Regards Paul. New website being created for the models also... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy Angus Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Paul Can I ask, is this kit different/more accurate/better, easier to assemble that your previous one? I am just wondering if I should also register an interest in this one as well. Thanks Roddy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apt-e Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Roddy, I think it looks better, now with e1 and e1t bogies. A number of corrections but nothing that takes away from the old model. How to build, its about the same, nature of the beast. See what you think when I post the new photos. I have added more detail to the bogies and bodywork, but what people will think, I don't know. However, I am pleased with the new version, its more than three years since I designed the first version. Hope you liked the original, and thanks for your support with this project. Regards and stay safe. Paul. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

apt-e Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi All, I have spent the day re-doing some of the PoP 1 instructions to include the new parts, and have uploaded them to. www.apt-e.org/leadleykits/00/pop1/instructions.pdf I will take a look at the order list tomorrow, but suggest anyone wanting a kit let me know at leadleykits@gmail.com even if you think you have a back order number. Anyone who has already contacted me in the last few weeks, I have your models already reserved so don't worry. I will try and look through my emails and list tomorrow to try and make sense of all this. Take care everyone. Regards Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy Angus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi Paul On the suggestion that you publish a list of who has ordered, perhaps an email/pm to those with orders might be more appropriate. There is a risk that publishing names online might not meet with everyone's approval. Best wishes Roddy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apt-e Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi Roddy, Hm, I was thinking that to, so would rather people contact me with confirmed orders.
