YesTor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 will they be available in multi packs or a discount if u buy lots? Tim Hopefully someone will correct me if I am mistaken but I'd imagine that you are too late for either, as the order deadline passed some months back...

Grimleygrid Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Dear Customers, We have had an update from China and they are experiencing some delays which is affecting the progress of our PGA model. The tooling process is underway but unfortunately our first sample will not be with us until December. Whilst we had hoped to have our first sample this month, the delays at the factory have now put the expected date back by a few weeks. Further updates will be provided in due course and as information becomes available. Apologies for the delay but this has been out of our control.

Trains4U Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 will they be available in multi packs or a discount if u buy lots? Tim Hi, They are available to order, but we are working with the tightest of margins in this exercise, in order to help bring this model to market at an acceptable price. Whilst I can't speak for the other retailers, I can confirm that we are unable to offer any kind of discount from our selling price of £29.95.

Grimleygrid Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Good evening, The factory have advised that the first samples of our PGA will be with us next month and in preparation we are finalising the livery drawings for painted samples.

No Decorum Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Livery drawings for both Redland and Lafarge versions of our PGA have been uploaded to the information section of our website: http://www.cavalexmodels.com/information.html We would really appreciate any feedback. IMG_7524.JPG The couplings look good. The hook looks reasonably short and the coupling as a whole looks rigid, allowing pipes to be fitted alongside. I’m sure you’ll be testing the samples through all sorts of reverse curves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 We have been advised that the factory have begun testing the moulds with the first sample parts having been made. All being well the rest of the moulds will be tested this week with the first wagon sample to be produced next week. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 The factory have now completed the mould testing with the first samples being assembled.We will advise once the factory have dispatched the samples to us for review. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesTor Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 As a guideline, approximately when is the next payment due on the crowd-funding models? (...I'm losing track with so many crowd-funders at the moment) thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The final payment will be due when the production models are delivered to the uk ready for dispatch to you. As you can apprieciate that date is somewhat fluid at the moment as we work through the manufacturing and approval process. Once we go into full production then dates will be more concrete. If anyone wishes to settle their account prior to the arrival of the models in the uk then they can by all means if that suits their budgeting requirements better.

RBE Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Ok I was a little hasty with the above, I have checked the schedule and final balance payments will be due prior to production once the painted samples have been approved. We are not sure at this point what timescale that will be as we are currently awaiting receipt of our unpainted samples, due anytime soon. We will of course let you all know the outcomes at each step in the journey. Regards Cav 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
