Lochnagar Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi folks, We have locos spare due to cancellations, if anyone wants one drop me a message. Anything left over will appear on eBay (+15%) or appear as show stock for exhibitions etc if we still have any left. Thanks for your overwhelming positive comments and feedback, we've only had five returns which says a lot on the quality control front I think, and they are all repairable. 37114 has been a success, thank you! Ps; if you have ordered a loco and not heard from us, please get in touch with me on here. As I won't be chasing orders more than once by phone/text or email. Plus several people have supplied incorrect phone numbers and email addresses, so we physically can't get in touch with those people. After a week or so without a response, I will cancel the order and release the loco/s for general sale. But please tell me if you don't want it as it makes life easier.

RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted October 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi all, Collected my headlight fitted model from the Post Office earlier today. Lee has made a great job of the headlights, making an already fantastic model truly special. Even SWMBO was impressed when I showed her. Thanks to both Lee and Alex/Mickleover MRC.

PJ10 Thanks, glad you like it! I removed the nose ends and sent them off to Lee to work on as it was easier, getting the nose ends off without damaging them and fitting back on perfectly is another story. I've got it sussed now after many a 37 over the years.. Thanks, enjoy it. Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochnagar Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 We still have some 37114s available for sale due to cancellations, if you want one drop me a message for next day dispatch. Thanks, Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochnagar Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Final call for 37114 pre orders before the locos go on general sale, if you want one let me know. Expect a new thread for our next Scottish 37 very soon... Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2018 My weathered version just turned up direct from Alex, very pleased with the model and his weathering job. Thanks to all the Mickleover team too 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochnagar Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Just a note to say, someone just paid £203 for a 37114 on eBay..we've still got some! So don't go totally bid crazy just yet. The remaining models freed up by cancellations are now for sale on our newly completed fully secure website mmrgexclusives.co.uk with payment via PayPal, for the same price of £164.95. Everything else will be appearing on there in due course when we have time..including the online ordering for the next loco. We'll be putting a new thread up about that very soon, so keep a look out. The aim is to keep the new site simple and uncluttered, easy to use for you as a customer and a lot quicker for us to process orders. It's a bit 'bare bones' atm with a lot more to add but take a look if you like.. Alex Edited October 23, 2018 by Lochnagar 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochnagar Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi folks, just to let you know that I'll be on the Rail Express stand at Warley if you want to come and have a chat along with a couple of others from the club, and we will have a number of 37114s available for sale/collection there too. Hopefully card payment as well as cash. See you there! Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfofBadenoch Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Which speaker fits best into the area under the fan (i presume that's where Bachmann plan for the speaker)? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Which speaker fits best into the area under the fan (i presume that's where Bachmann plan for the speaker)? Thanks A standard 20x40 - a better sound can be had by removing the speaker mounting in the roof, and using the same speaker in a low profile fully sealed enclosure in the chassis recess below - (low profile enclosures avail - Charlie/DC Kits) Edited November 21, 2018 by tractor_37260 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochnagar Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, agreed. The standard ESU 20x40 screwed into the Bachmann roof mounting actually sounds pretty good, remember to glue up the roof fan first or it'll rattle. If you're after the best possible, then fitting the hugely impressive EM2 speaker is the only way to go. Basically requires milling the block and a full rewire without the circuit board, through Roads and Rails or Charlie at DC kits. Circa £100 for the work plus the decoder, all of my locos will be having this treatment in due course. There are plenty of intermediate 'upgrade' speakers but if you want to be seriously impressed, EM2 is the way to go. Thanks for everyone who saw us at Warley btw, and we sold a decent amount of the surplus 37114s. Also, a very welcome development is that it looks like we'll have our very own stand at Warley next year so I'll keep you posted on this too. This will be MMRG Exclusives! I hope to start a separate thread officially launching our second class 37 within two weeks, as I now have a pre production sample sitting in front of me. Most of you know already..

Lochnagar Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Evening Alex, Any news or progress reports with Loch Awe? I haven't heard anything after sending the order card that came with my Dunrobin Castle. Thanks PJ10 No we don't reply, but it'll be logged and we'll be in touch. I've held back updating the 37026 thread until the website pre order link is ready, which should be before the end of the month. The pre production model has been corrected, artwork signed off last month and the delivery date is scheduled for May, which I think is reliable. So it won't be long!
