The problem people have been discussing is that the reviewers on youtube are affiliated with hattons and are getting paid by hattons. BRM, a company independent from Hattons and not getting paid by the manufacturer to do a review of a product is totally different to someone on the Hattons payroll reviewing a product. For god sake this is getting ridiculous. If people want to watch the videos then that’s up to them. If they want to take everything said in then as gospel truth then so what? No one is forcing anyone to accept everything that is said as completely accurate. Personally, I watch the videos to see the models in action. Not to hear anyone’s opinions. See that’s the thing, my opinions are made by me, not influenced by anyone else. If people can’t do then I suggest they don’t watch YouTube! 2 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, you seem to overlook that Hattons pay BRM a handsome amount each month for advertising, making Hattons a customer of BRM, and nobody likes upsetting customers. As I said before, time to move on. I was not against the discussion, it had just run its course and just keeps going round and round. I want to come here for news, not pointless wibble about who / what can do what / when. If people are really upset by the likes of Sam's Trains, start a new thread - its is just as relevant to other models.

[pedant mode] Technically that makes Hattons a customer of BRM. BRM supply an advertising facility that Hattons use for a price.

rembrow Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Regarding delivery, I've just had an email from Hattons to advise that they have merged my order for EWS 66, with another order for a Dapol Class 21. The Dapol 21 has just arrived at Hattons, so the 66s must be imminent, otherwise no sense in merging the orders. Edit for further news. Another email to say order for merged 21 and 66 order has been processed and paid for, so just waiting for despatch now.

eric709 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’ve had 3 of my 4 combined into one order, 66587 is the 4th but this is still to be billed for.

I have searched 'Hattons Class 66', 'OO Gauge 66528', 'OO Gauge 66704' etc and their are no results at all for any of the Hattons 66s. I was wondering why they were on Ebay considering that only the pre-orders to be fulfilled before Christmas are for the standard DCC Ready models in December 2019 and the rest either DCC Fitted, DCC Sound Fitted and anyone who hasn't pre-ordered alike myself are due to be delivered in January or February 2020. I am hoping that these delivery estimates remain correct because on the basis of this I bought the Hornby GWR Limited Edition OOC HST Set. I'm really pleased with it but I just hope that for us non pre-order customers the delivery remains at January/February because if they are in stock now and say listed this month by the time I can get some money together again they may be sold out. So least to say I am hoping that the Ebay listings indeed were in error and said listings won't appear until 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hattons staff must be working late. Had an email at 21.30, to advise my EWS66 had been packed and dispatched. As they merged my order with the Dapol Class 22, both have bee sent post and packing free. Thanks, Hattons, with Royal Mail 24 tracked, may be here on Saturday. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I've just had an e-mail stating it is packed, and has been given a reference. When fed into the RM system they are unable to locate the reference at this time. I might be wrong, but that infers all is ready to ship, but has not yet been collected by RM. Al.
