GWR-fan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Why stop at BR blue, why not go the full hog with Intercity Swallow or Virgin Trains livery or any other fictitious livery. Anything to boost sales. Keith has had a credibility issue with some members here and then this livery is promoted, perhaps April 1st, 2020 delivery. The loco was a one off prototype in a defined livery and a defined operational time span. Stick to reality and reap the rewards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making a reply to Stans post were he quoted me. You need to read a whole conversation from the start to get in context . Ok forums make that hard . You will find I was surjesting KR models sell them . It was Stan who said:I guess you could always back your theory and order half a dozen yourself and sell them on eBay. My reply was based on If I was in the position of Keith I would . As I am not I cant . The numbers I was using would be based on KR cost. I have. Hence my comments. I’m afraid I don’t appreciate your somewhat patronising tone. As my posts say, whether you are buying and reselling or acting as a manufacturer and ordering extra, the position you are putting forward does not make economic sense. Your understanding and representation of commercial costing/pricing structures, what an eBay price represents and risk, is based on a series of misunderstandings/false premises as a number of people have pointed out.

locoholic Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Please forgive if already mentioned (I spent many minutes trawling through previous pages to no avail). I finally decided to order a GT3, and got as far as the payment page on the KR website. The credit card option didn't work. Is paying by Paypal the only option, and if so, why?

If you go back to page 15 you can see when credit cards were replaced by Paypal - website problems was the reason given. I would ask KR Models why the website issue hasn't been resolved and why it was that Paypal was then enabled and is now the only option. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgibbons Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Credit card purchases offer much better UK buyer protection than Paypal, so KR would do well to provide that extra reassurance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question of whether there were grilles over the exhaust ports has long been the subject of debate - do you have evidence; (photographic or otherwise); for those on the model? Will you be adding the roller bearing caps over the crankpins - and the chequerplate walkways above the battery cases? Above the tender steps / handholes, the fuelling doors were outlined and marginally raised - presumably that is detail yet to be added?

D9001 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Looking good. KR have also just announced they are taking expressions of interest to do the Fell in black and also in green. I have signed up and I am sure that many more will; the Fell will probably be just as popular as their GT3 if not more so. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exhaust grills were in the drawings but removed during testing. The crankpin covers were just plain and would cover the nuts on the conrods. The chequer will be added over the battery boxes and loco steps. There are some other minor details that will also be corrected prior to final production. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
