Knowing a model like the Deltic is inbound has been a great motivator to get stuck in with a new layout. Well worth all the splinters I’m sure. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted January 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2022 Serious questions (who, me?!) - D9007 - Pinza - when did this loco get it's first splat of yellow ends? D9020 - Nimbus - same question please? I have D6700 on order from Locomotion (I'll ask in that thread when that loco got yellow daub) - I'd prefer to get Nimbus with its part yellow ends as I think they look a but better than no yellow, but want the all-green D6700 to still be green at the same time. If not I will seriously consider Pinza. Ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac1874 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So it is 23 days for the factory to get them finished and out the door, then no doubt some fun and games getting a container on a boat, then we can all log on to marinetracker.com! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2022 Without trying to contradict myself, but I’m both optimistic and pessimistic about their arrival. The optimist in me is glad that the light is at the end of the tunnel and the wait is nearly over, but the pessimist in me see’s the Chinese New Year as a huge elephant in the room and they won’t arrive in the UK until March/April time. Either way, I’m 100% sure I’ll have mine for my birthday in June 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Train? Increasingly overland rail is being used to move goods from the East to Europe. Becoming more cost effective and time-competitive than shipping in the current environment. Then there's always airfreight to meet the deadline..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve45 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sea freight is fine with me, I'd rather Fran & Co keep the costs down, make a good profit and continue to secure the future of Accurascale. A few more weeks doesn't really make that much difference to me. 5 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Once goods are in a container, I doubt the sender nor the recipient will ever know which ship it ends up on (or ships - could easily be transported on more than one) Perhaps one of the models should have had a GPS tracker fitted?? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
