LocomotionatShildon Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Any updates when this is due? I've placed a pre-order, but haven't paid the £50 deposit - I take it I can either pay for it in full in one go or do the £50/remaining balace thing when it arrives? We are expecting delivery January 2018 however this is subject to change as amendments are being made on the model. if you have reserved the model there is no need to do anything else until you are contacted by us to pay for the model approximately 4 weeks prior to release. Many thanks Simon & Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2017 Is there any sort of indication on pricing yet? I’m expecting around the £350-£400 mark so would like to be able to save some money over the next few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu4472ke Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If this is part of the national collection in miniature, does that mean that 66 779 is already part of the national collection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 If this is part of the national collection in miniature, does that mean that 66 779 is already part of the national collection? Yes it is. GBRf will donate the loco to the NRM, at the end of its working life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yes it is. GBRf will donate the loco to the NRM, at the end of its working life. Which how many years away. Less than 10 i should think. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Which how many years away. Less than 10 i should think. Terry. Considering that the first 66s arrived on these shores in 1998 and most are still going very strong, I doubt 66779 will be retired soon, as it only entered service in 2016..... Cheers, Mick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Think that might have been a remark based upon the 9Fs length of time in service... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamDaniel Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I was told at Warley there would be an email going out about this last week, which hasn't arrived, so may as well post it - there has been a delay, meaning both Evening Stars are due at Easter.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2017 A question for Stuart or Simon. Will the Evening Star boxed set locomotives have their own standard boxes with the NCiM packaging as well or will they only come in the presentation box?

Viscount D Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi Sandra Is this still available as a pair. I am sure I ordered it and paid a deposit of £50 for DEP003 but on the Locomotion News Letter today I clicked on your web and DEP003 appears to have vanished in to the ether. Does that means the allocation is now sold out or it will no longer be offered as a boxed pair? VC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2018 Sandra is gone Viscount D, it’s Simon and Stuart at Locomotion Models now. I’d wager that means they box set is all allocated. They have told me mine is definitely reserved for me so if it’s gone from the website I’d say it’s full reserved.

Great Western Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I pre ordered the special twin pack at the very start of the process, but I've received zero in the form of communication can NRM advise please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Funny, I went onto the Locomotion website a few minutes ago and apparently the Class 66 Evening Star is being released in the next 10 days on 5 Feb...imagine my shock I had paid a £50 deposit but was non the wiser about the release date due to not receiving any comms.

Having ordered the box set myself and now that NRM are saying the models will be available shortly (well at least the class 66) It would be good if Simon or even Stuart could clarify if these orders will be honoured as the Locomotion web site is blank on the subject of the box set of both locos which I am sure many members will have ordered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2018 Email them. They don’t live in RMWeb. I emailed with my details and asked about my box set and they replied confirming my reservation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarttrains Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Just a quick check in as I’m currently riding behind 47406 and 13065 at the Great Central Railway Steam Gala, but we are only due the class 66 in the next few weeks the box set will be available in Summer as that is when we are due to get he 9f, if you have already ordered or reserved the box set, then that is still current the reason it’s no longer in the website is that we have allocated all sets.

srihaggis Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It and the 66 better have a gloss finish or I'm cancelling the order. Also can you tell us how much we owe for the box set as I'm still none the wiser. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A gloss finish and etched nameplates. So no coloured detailing in the cab then? Pity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
