Super-Sloth Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Having just ordered a pair of Deltics I'm quite keen to pick up a few of these too. Have you any plans, once the initial run has been completed, to release an early example in BR blue that still has a "D" number? I only ask as my era of interest is the period where the corporate colour scheme was just starting to shift from green to blue. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RozM Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thanks for the update Fran. Honest and transparent as always.

Hi @RozM, Really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you can see that we are all about transparency. We are gutted with this delay, but it's the way of the world right now and all manufacturers will be affected, with some reporting delays already. Sadly none of us are immune, but we scream and fight to get our stuff into production and progress to the next level every day, with production guys on chat to the factory into the wee hours of the morning on a weekly basis. We'll keep pushing to get these models to you as quick as humanly possible, because we're all dying to play with them! Cheers! Fran 5 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi Fran, These samples look absolutely nothing like a class 31! Seriously after looking at the teaser picture the other day and now seeing this update it’s looking very good indeed. It captures the bulk of them really well and I like the refined detail and the brass horns. I’ve currently 4 of this first batch on order and glad I have. Dont apologise about any delays to production either, I would much prefer you take the time to tweak and get them exactly as right as possible in 4mm as they are going to look and sound amazing. Thanks for the update All the best Mark 5 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billywhizz Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi Fran. Thanks for the update. The level of detail looks fantastic and the body ride height looks spot on! Got that heavy, chunky look! Completely understand the reasons behind the delay in these uncertain times but hey, it certainly looks like it will be well worth the wait. Gives me more time to save up for the 3 on pre-order! Are we likely to see a ‘80’s Centre headcode 37/0 release in the future (preferably Scottish allocation!) Regards, Bill. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gremlin99 Posted June 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well this delay just means I might be able to save for another to go with my Europhoenix one… We appreciate the hard work and, importantly, the communication you’re putting in. If it’s anything like your wagons it’ll be amazing… Now, which of the modern 37/4’s to go for… 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted June 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2021 Have to agree with what's been said. The transparency on your part is refreshing and welcome. I know that you guys will be by far the most frustrated by the delays out of anyone. That being said, they are looking fantastic. It's so clearly going to be a masterpiece. It gives me some time to save for D6700 as well based on these pictures. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Fran, That's wonderful Thank you. Appreciate the personal reply(s)! and to echo what others have highlighted, the transparency in updates is somewhat refreshing to see from a business. Delays are invariably inevitable, not just in spite of the current global situation, that's just part of life sometimes. I have often said to my own customers that you can either have something "right now" or "right". Rarely can both be achieved at the same time and it's nice to see someone else in business who recognises this. 85% sold out? Eek! Better get my order in then! Best regards, Jon. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted June 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2021 Had an email from you Fran and it mentions….. ”There will also be an extensive tampo printing process for some class members with more modern liveries, taking into account complex livery fades, logos, warning and information panels and more.” Mine is just green with plain white numbers…..do I get mine first? 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted June 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well guys, you have persuaded me. A 37 is probably not "right" for the layout but this is such a great looking model (especially to someone brought up with the Triang effort of the 1960s). Unfortunately, Paypal seems to be having a hissy fit this afternoon so I have not been able to place the order. Second time today that Paypal has let me down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
