RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2019 10 minutes ago, The Stationmaster said: What matters now is not where the ship is but where the container is and when the groupage stuff will be taken out of it and then clear Customs ready to be forwarded to the appropriate destinations, including Camborne. Let's hope they don't have another fire somewhere in the Docks. When that happened a few weeks ago, they closed down the whole docks area ("elf and safety innit") and nothing got out for 24 hours. Not too much of a problem for many consignments. But when you have hired in a large crane to offload at final destination, an expensive PITA. And no one wants to accept responsibility for the extra costs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each version has always been quoted as 750 each and two have arrived. Whether there are a few spares to make up a nicely-squared load or whether sales allow for a few defective returns is probably known only to KMRC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzer models Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Kernow on Twitter D600 Warship Update - our container has been unloaded from the ship and will be in a position to be unpacked on 5th March. It will then need to clear customs, after which we should get a delivery date...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted March 6, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6, 2019 I have one in first batch and one in third, I am just pleased that they have come to fruition after a long gestation period. Still need a sound chip to be announced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertcwp Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 There was a D602 in blue on a Layout at the Basingstoke show today. I forget the layout's name but it was the large 00 one by Kernow's stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget the layout's name but it was the large 00 one by Kernow's stand. It was the Hornby Magazine layout 'Grosvenor Square'. They actually had two but the other one was hiding in its box. (not hiding all the time as Mike Wild lifted off the packing etc to give a glimpse of it). These two are from the advance air-freighted batch sent over for review etc purposes and are production models, not development models. I thought the lettering was extremely neat, the 'orrible headcode boxes look suitably realistic and are nicely done (if such an excresence can be associated with the word 'nicely'?) and it was running beautifully - clearly a powerful model with excellent detailing which looked to capture the originals very well, especially the bodysides. Overall it looks like the factory have done a very good job for Kernow. I understand from Chris T that the ones recently landed at Southampton are expected in Cornwall early next week - usual comments about 'wait for it to arrive with you' and 'don't waste the staff's time with 'phone calls' apply of course. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibber25 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Robert, do you know which milk train that was? From/to St. Erth, presumably? And did the D600 work it throughout?

dibber25 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just noticed what the infernal spell-checker did to St. Erth. Seems hell-bent on changing place names but when I make a simple spelling mistake it seems quite incapable of correcting it. (CJL) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcwp Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I don't have any further details about the train behind D602 at Plymouth but strongly suspect that D602 did not work east of Plymouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertcwp Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I expect they will be sending out the earliest orders first, assuming they have the ones in stock that were ordered. I received an email today. I think I ordered my D600 almost as soon as it was announced. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted March 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2019 Same email here. The first two will arrive by mail. The next two probably collected in person (but from which shop is now the question) and the final two will ave to await delivery advice before I can determine their method of arrival here. Of the first pair one will be weathered as a demonstration at the SWAG Member's Day in Taunton and the other as a part of my demonstration at the Hayle MRC exhibition in May. Dates and details are readily available elsewhere on this site or via PM. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding your second comment about them ever arriving, they must have shared the same feeling as they make a note about two previous suppliers doing nothing other than causing delays and how progress picked up once they dealt directly with a factory. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
