Pteremy Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It would be quite nice to have an empty Titfield Set Box to put these 3 wagons in, together with the W&U coach (assuming that they would all fit that is) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 My "Inspired by" wagon pack arrived in Australia this afternoon. Very happy with them. The quality of the prints on the models is incredibly high quality & they are very free rolling. Titfield - Mallingford Mixed? I just have one nit pick. In the package was some flyers which is understandable to promote new & existing models. But I think I got a one of every single one. 20 in total. Most printed on fairly thick paper/card. My nit pick is that all together they weigh quite a bit (almost as much as the wagon pack) and I hope it wasn't included in the postage cost (which was £35) & they were just included to make they most of the international postage costs. Other than that I'm very happy with the wagons and I'm looking forward to customising them with some loads and weathering... 🫢 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium tommyliam021 Posted February 23 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23 Do any retailers still have stock of the buffet car? I’ve just been paid but I can’t seem to find any retailers with them in stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 23 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23 I have a spare buffet car (still in its box unopened) but I'm afraid that I will not be able to post it its buyer collects only. Its in South Essex, if anyone's interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedTrain Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Does anyone know if the 'Titfield Inspired' wagon packs are still in stock anywhere? I originally had a pre-order with Hattons, but after they shut down, moved it to one of the few retailers still showing them as available to order. However, after chasing today, it turns out that they'd already sold out of their allocation when they took my order so aren't able to fulfil it or source any more from Rapido. EDIT: As posted below, I've now been able to source one, thanks. Edited February 28 by LittleRedTrain 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 28 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28 I had pre-orders with Hattons that were transfered to Rails of Sheffield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedTrain Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Thanks for the tips, I've now managed to source one from B&H Models in Lincoln. Full RRP but offset by the postage being free! Another retailer did claim that, although they didn't have any in stock, they would be able to get more from Rapido, but given Rapido had already said they've sold out, I'm not sure I wanted to rely on that. Although I moved a lot of my pre-orders from Hattons to Rails, they had already stopped taking orders for this set by that point, so I want to another, usually reliable, retailer, and it seems it was just of a bit of an unfortunate oversight that they hadn't closed pre-orders when Rapido closed the order book. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiddles47 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Has anyone else had problems with the loriot that Dans house sits on? Mine keeps derailing and pulling off everything coupled to it. I think the couplings are too tight and not swinging round enough. I don’t want to waggle em too much in case they snap off. any thoughts? Ta :) Edited March 5 by Tiddles47 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperlad Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I had a 'dead corner' on my layout so I've created a small diorama with an interpretation of Tifield. There's defo a chunk of modellers licence going on but I wanted a spot to show off these fabulous models. The station building is a Peco lasercut kit. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted March 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16 Tried using the search function, but it never seems to work well for me on my mobile, so apologies if this has been covered. Is there an option to buy a DCC sound decoder for a DC Titfield Thunderbolt train set? Looking at the Rapido website, I can only find a Lion option, which I assume is not the same. I was bought a DC version and would like to upgrade it. Thanks, Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Al51 Posted March 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16 According to the Rapido delivery schedule the Bedford OB is in production with delivery expected in Q3 2024.
