wainwright1 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I ordered a grey no crest one yesterday and paid the first instalment. The website was mucking about quite a bit and it took around six attempts before I could get it to go through the whole ordering process, However, I have now received all the acknowledgements that the order has gone through properly.

On checkout you have to tick 'I have read the T&C's' box yet there are none to read? It's pre order in advance. We are only making enough to cover orders, so we won't be holding stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go through the check out process. When it’s the payment box, step 4 or 5, it gives you the split payment option. Check this snd it takes you to the split payment provider.

ovbulleid Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just put my order down, unlined grey with no chip. While I’ll decide at a later date whether to fit sound, can anyone confirm whether there will be space below the chimney to fit a smoke unit? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestburyJack Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Grey, no crest (so lined) version ordered; correct me if I'm wrong, this appears to be the livery it was in for the longest / when actually operational. Based on the GT3 I'm looking forward to this! Edited February 22, 2021 by PrestburyJack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDominion Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just ordered a Leader! can’t wait, but I’ll be seeing the GT3 and the Fell before that and Hornby’s W1 ‘hush-hush’! The makings of my One-offs and Weirdo’s shed! Now I’d like to see someone do an RTR version of the BR 11001. There’s only a Judith Edge kit available and I’m all thumbs when it comes to kits. Though whether or not there’s enough interest for it I don’t know. Thankfully that’s what EOI forms are for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey ones should be 36001 - an accurate combination of the only one to run + the only livery it carried - but given the black livery is fictitious and that the basic frames for 36002 + 36003 existed, isn't there a case for linking the black livery to one, or both, of these ? Might generate more sales for KRM too (ie, those who'd want more than one - it'd make me think). Whilst very pleased that at long last a R-T-R model of the Leader is being produced, I agree with the above suggestion that it would good for some of the models to carry numbers other than 36001. I too have just ordered a grey version. I would have ordered another in black with a number of 36002, but sadly it appears that it will not be made. More than the basic frames for 36002 + 36003 existed. As mentioned in Kevin Robertson's book 'The Leader Project', when the construction of Leaders 36002 & 36003 was halted, 36002 was only two days away from being ready for steaming. Judging by the pictures of 36003, it looked to be in a fairly advance state of construction. Thus one would only have to bend history a very little to be able to run 36001 and 36002 at the same time, and then run 36003 with some additional bending. It would be great if KR Models could reconsider their numbering strategy and, at the very least, produce 36002 alongside 36001. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaand the problem with renumbering is.....? (point being that this is a release of a pretty esoteric one-off, and you want KRM to provide an even more esoteric never-happened) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Any word/indication from KR models on how the project is going? I mean in terms of the uptake so far - as nice as it would be to see an EP i don't think that thats too reasonable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattkimster Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Is anyone else still having some issues with the website? I put my pre-order in last month using the payment plan option, and while it seems to have all gone through fine (from the perspective of money leaving my bank account ) the order isn't showing in my Order History or Transactions. I'm hoping it's not fallen through a crack in the internet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS an EP of the Fell so it's reasonable to assume this is further along the path to completion. KR is a tiny company and this is a niche product.

Once we have our CADs polished and primed, we can show those off. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
