sulzer71 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Solo said: Just to second that, in my copy of the book "The West Highland Lines Post Beeching" there is a confirmed photo of 25109 at Mallaig in June 1980. It notes the dent and states that this was probably due to a locomotive shortage at Eastfield although interestingly in another of my books it talks of a small number of '25's making regular appearances on the WHL between 1975 and 1980 together with a picture of 25006 at Fort William (albeit one of the early locos so different cab front than the SLW offering). Thus 'Rule 1' may not be too far fetched! Re 25006 , I imagine that an early 25/0 will be done by Suttons before long as essentially it's just an Headcode box 24 with minor differences 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alan Oliver Posted June 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2021 Invoices sent out in error apparently 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I received my invoice from Jamie and contacted Phil and gave him my credit card details. If you havnt already done this then id suggest that if you have received your invoice, then this is a good thing to do. They can then dispatch your models as they become available. This is the information i received and i was more than happy to do this. They operate secure servers and this way, you just have to wait for these fantastic models to arrive. On a separate note, on other threads and posts it seems increasingly apparent that models from all manufacturers are delayed coming out of China and whilst i am certainly NOT speaking on behalf of SLW, im not pinning my hopes too much on seeing the 24's and 25's this year. Im as excited as anyone to get my hands on them as they are absolutely fantastic, but im a realist. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alan Oliver Posted August 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2021 I received an invoice a few months ago, apparently a computer glitch sent these out in error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Please see my earlier post on this. Jamie will send out an invoice to you to confirm your order. I have 6 on order and received an invoice a few months ago. You can lodge your credit card details with Philip and they have a secure server to keep those details safe. The benifit to this is that when these fantastic locos arrive, they will charge your card and send you it !. Its not an error in my opinion, they never ask for payment up front but its wise to keep in mind that if they have your details for payment, it speeds up the entire process. I cant wait for these beauties to arrive in class 25 and the Highland 24's. Id be very surprised indeed if we see these before Christmas. I'm putting my money on a 2022 arrival Edited August 27, 2021 by Krieghoff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted August 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2021 Since the card I pay for internet things with by default has very little money in the account it's for, I need a heads up a few days before payment is taken so I can move money into place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production is used in different ways I think. Some refer to everything post design as moving to production (including creating the tools), others use it to describe the factory turning out the already signed-off product. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Davidjsmith Posted September 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2021 I was wondering what happened to the extra loco that was going to be announced after last news letter?Its been more than a few days now?I know they are a small outfit & things perhaps happen in the background?Maybe they don’t want to be overloaded on the phones?
