kernowtim Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I am still waiting to hear if my class 66 evening star is ready for dispatch, have tried phoning however the only time someone answered was when the phone was diverted to the gift shop!! Will have to email again.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2018 Tried calling them a few times to pay the balance on the Stirling Single. Each time I got through to the voicemail that stated that they were only open between 9.30am and 4pm. On each occasion I was calling between these times. I left a message for them to call me back and to be fair they did do so and got my voicemail. The last returned message is that you can only pay the balance through the website. Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Have reported the thread to the Mods, perhaps Andy Y could use his contacts to establish what's going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KymN Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Have reported the thread to the Mods, perhaps Andy Y could use his contacts to establish what's going on. I started this out of pure frustration. Once we had a well run source of some wonderful models, but now something is very wrong. Any help in restoring faith in this important institution - internationally - would be more than welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Don't you get updates? I've had about three or four in the past week or two. The front page has been updated over the last couple of days as well. http://www.locomotionmodels.com/ Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KymN Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Don't you get updates? I have seen e-newsletter updates for the Stirling Single recently, but apart from the additions to the Welcome page of the Web site nothing much has changed this year. In particular the Update pages are woefully out of date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Locomotion advise that emails have been sent out to everyone who has reserved a Stirling single so it may be worth checking Spam folders. The Single is still going through production and assembly and they are anticipated to arrive around June. With respect to Evening Star keep your ear to the ground as there may be something special happening if you've ordered a boxed set. They are there and working hard as usual. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am somewhat embarrassed to be seen as someone putting down people who are doing their best. Unfortunately being on the other side of the world simple telephone calls are difficult and I rely on email and the Web site to stay up to date. I currently have the Single and the Dean Goods with sound fully paid up (I hope!), plus a deposit on Truro. I have received a newsletter with embedded letter that tells me the Single is in production, and acknowledges my order. I also had an email to say that the sound Dean was being sent out from the beginning of this month. Three weeks later it has yet to arrive. I have asked but no response.

Brian Indge Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Well I have paid a deposit on one of the Sterling Singles but apart from an e-mail last week saying the order book closes on April 29th for this model, I have not had a request for the balance. Perhaps Locomotion Models could clarify the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Locomotion Models could clarify the situation. If you have paid a deposit then you have ordered it so don't panic. They will invoice you for the remaining payment nearer the final date, unless you want to pay earlier. Most of this e-mail campaign is aimed at people like me who have ummed and ahhed since day one. I know I'll probably crack before the end of the week.... Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the referenced emails those updating progress on the model or do they request payment? If the latter, I at least have not received it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Indge Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The only e-mail I know of is to advise the last day to book a model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
