classy52 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) They have emailed today to say they are in tomorrow so hopefully by Friday they will be on our doorsteps. I've not used them before but have got to say they have been very good at updating progress. That's weird not received anything from them to let me know what's going on, guess I'll have to chase them up considering they are about to release them.

rob D2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 According to Bachmann times, the 47 " tamar " has been delayed till later in the year and has been overtaken by 47625/628. I wonder if this is due to the sample getting nicked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 They put mine in the post Thursday 15 March, as above they have been very good with their updates over the past months I must be the odd one out, I've done all the chasing or follow ups and not once received an email from them to provide an update. Having said that and taking nothing away from them they have responded to me quickly on every occasion and yesterday provided the payment method via email and has now been processed and dispatched maybe getting today or tomorrow which is great service in that respect. Also the price I paid was nothing short of astonishing for this Special Colas 47 especially in today's market/climate also considering it is a limited run.

RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted March 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yeah I've got 10 Class 47's all DRS & Colas from both Bachmann & ViTrains. I’ve not got double figures yet. If I can find 145 and if I go for 805 then il be there. So much choice out there currently. The market is definitely swamped with 47’s. Anyone know if there are any plans for the original royal 47, the RES based one? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2018 That is believed to be the person who walked into several retailers and asked to buy all the models they had and I believe even had the cheek to ask for a discount. They didn't get very far and am glad to see this Ebay Carpetbagger has got nowhere in their endeavours. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he might have under estimated demand, they are yet to sell out in many places and there's bucket loads of 47's coming on tap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, not only that there are so many at least £50 cheaper if not more. I have seen them as low as £135, though I brought mine from the Class37 group, happy to help a worthwhile cause. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
