paftrain Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Any news on delivery of Duchess of Hamilton? An update from Locomotion would be useful, as they said they would be around from 13th November if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D400 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Spoke to Locomotion Models on the phone today. They haven't arrived as yet, but could arrive any day now... Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think from memory, that there will be a subseuent delay in sending out the models, as the Shildon shop staff who would normally do this, will I presume, be tied up at the Warley show over the weekend. There was a similar issue last year (APT-E?) or some such model, that had arrived, but everyone was busy at a show. The wait goes on ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted November 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2017 Any possibility we could pick these up at Warley and therefore save on post and packing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paftrain Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I see Rails have received their Limited Edition version of the Duchess, so Locomotion should have had theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Indge Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 As someone else has previously posted, it's a shame that those of us who have ordered and paid for the model have not been kept up to date with the current situation regarding availability.

RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted November 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2017 I spoke to a chap at locomotion today and he was totally rushed off his feet. They are down on staff plus trying to sort orders plus preparing for shows. So maybe we should cut them a little slack, they will get round to us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittannia Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 But seeing that they announced the model on this site, shouldn't they at least keep their customers upto date? Just takes 30 seconds to type a line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That is a much better photograph than the ones opening this thread. I particularly like the contrast of the gloss finish and the matt black smokebox and deflectors. Much better than earlier NRM offerings where everything was gloss. Sadly, funds do not permit.

G-BOAF Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Cross posting from the Hornby thread, but any pictures of the final production model under normal conditions will help us undecideds if we like the finish. The pic on the other thread certainly looks more subtle in terms of shine than that posted above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhibited the usual wayward front bogie causing derailments,Quick fix applied by gentle downward pressure on holding bracket and away you go.It runs beautifully....,graceful,.smooth and silent.....Once again I love the signature gloss paint finish.A lovely thing. Well done Brian and the Locomotion team and of course to Hornby's capable R&D team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just had an email from APC saying mine has been delivered. Hopefully that means one of my neighbours has kindly taken it in, and that it's not been left on the doorstep 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just had an email from APC saying mine has been delivered. Hopefully that means one of my neighbours has kindly taken it in, and that it's not been left on the doorstep Doubt it. I had a card through the door from APC saying tried to deliver. Have spoken to APC to try to rearrange delivery - they will only deliver between 08.00 & 16.00 M-F, will not give a specific time for delivery, will not deliver to a neighbour as it has to be signed for, will not deliver to a different address (APC must be cheap because they certainly arent good). They suggested I go to the depot to pick up, thats miles away and why should I waste my time and petrol going to collect something I paid to be delivered. Even more annoying was the table full of models at Warley, could have got one there, be enjoying it now, and saved the £8.50 delivery charge. Really not sure how Ill get my model now. Not happy to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
