Pre-ordering is highly recommended as some have limited allocations remaining. Is there an update for the BR liveried terriers, I ordered 32655 and the page for it gives me a 404 error.

Hmm Hi Jack, There is a slight delay in obtaining the sound fitted models. We have currently therefore removed the listing from our site so that we do not continue to take orders for them. This is why the link you have will not work. We are aiming to fulfil all outstanding sound fitted orders as soon as possible. I apologise for the delay. Thanks Oliver 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Roy I note no comment on the lamp irons which has been a source of contention on the Hornby thread regarding this Rails version with some dodgy photographic “evidence “ years out of date.

GreenGiraffe22 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Looks like a few blips and smears in the paintwork there...?

Anglian Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The cab on the GWR version doesn't look like is is fully in place with gaps showing, or is that just the camera being unkind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Is the edge of the footplate flat or the paint missing off the edge ?, it looks like multiple ripples on the edge shining in the light. Paint missing/damage on nearside cab side, to the left of the door opening , a very pale Green ? Very bland livery compared to the pre group liveries. Did it have the XL Lamp irons or not ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Please be aware guys my photos are not the best standard. There are people who do better photos of these models. Bar a very tiny nip of metal just under the shirtbutton in my first photo, the model is excellent. I am very pleased with it and I am now looking forward to receiving SR 2644 in the near future. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I think we forget when we look at images on this forum just what a tiny model a Terrier is,so any fault is cruelly exposed over scale.Yes we can see them here but you have to look very hard out of the box to notice.Railway modelling is perhaps however for those with eyesight keener than most. That said,the seating fault line on No.6 between cab a running plate is visible in the images posted above.

Yes, they are imperfections, but I wonder how perfect a real loco ex works looks anyway, once it's been steamed. And apparently we are supposed to weather everything, so those will be lost. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, and I suspect your comment is with tongue firmly in cheek, but really it's sloppy for what is supposed to be a "pedigree" model... Not Rails fault of course, if I commissioned a premium model and it came out of the factory looking like that I'd be a bit cross. If the buyer above is happy then fair enough. I'm hoping, as one of the last to arrive, the SR ones will be better quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I have an email from Rails stating Zimo. As I didn’t want to order a sound version unless they were Zimo. I am still waiting for my sound equipped K&ESR Terrier. I am not impressed with Dapol or Rails with this. I could of purchased a sound decoder and fitted it myself.

I know there have been issues, but a delay of 21+ months on a 9 month project would have got me sacked when I was a project manager! Mine seems to be getting closer, a DCC fitted SR Green 2644 as the DCC ready are here. Like you though, I could have done it myself and had it a lot sooner. The only blessing is that this for a small layout to use when I visit my father in his care home. As visits are still banned, the need is not so urgent.

JRamsden Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Received a message today to say that my Southern No. 2644 Terrier has been dispatched and money taken. I'm really looking forward to receiving my model. I only hope all the wrinkles have been ironed out by this point. I really don't want to have to send it back. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRamsden Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) So, I received my 00 gauge Rails/Dapol Terrier in SR lined green No. 2644 today. I must say, what an exquisite model! Everything about it just seems very high quality and a huge step up from the old Hornby model. The details really pop and the colours (to my untrained eye) seem right and proper. HOWEVER... My version came with some cosmetic damages. The smokebox door handles had broken and were hanging off; it didn't take much for them to fall away completely. The front of the loco is also missing one of the sandboxes and feed pipe under the running board, left side. This appears to have snapped off at some stage but isn't inside the packaging. There is also some damage to the running board on one side, negligible to the naked eye, much more obvious under the lens. The actual items that are broken are curious because they are not items I would expect to get high levels of handling nor would they normally be that delicate. The nature of the breakages suggests that they happened prior to packaging and had nothing to do with the subsequent transport of the item. Indeed, the packaging is more than sufficient. UPDATE: Rails have responded and sent a return label. They are sending a replacement which they say will be checked first. Fingers crossed!
