Coach bogie Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Mine is dated 21/11/16 so a little wait can be expected. No issues. It is not as if I am short of locos to run! Mike Wiltshire 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrobuscp Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Went and picked up my "Ark Royal" today. Will be a few weeks before it will be test run. It certainly looks the part, but is now packed up until we return home. Colin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Sidelines Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Thank you Kernow - that's 601 and 604 delivered - excellent. Some other manufacturers could learn a trick or two regards the quality of the product and the packaging.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi All Looks like my gloating has to stop. On the DEMU forum the announcement as posted by Si Bendal is dated 15th March 2008......cor 3 days short of 11 years. I hope that the wait has been worth it and everyone gets as much enjoyment out of their Warship as I have had over the years. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Sidelines Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks - short answer - Yes. Nearly very good. Ark Royal has a packet of four headboards for the Cornish Riveria Express.

Apparently, from my ABC book, I spotted D600 and D602. In those days (1961-62) I only ever visited Paddington - so seems like somebody had a day away from the south west.

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. I presume that Kernow had realised that the two previous suppliers had one thing in common.? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 From memory, I think they stopped working east of Newton Abbot at the end of the 1961/62 winter timetable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsp3970 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I see that the MOL TRUTH is currently in Singapore, next stop Suez Canal. I hope no one finds out that (North) British warships are going to sail through there!!! What sucks is that once mine reaches Kernow it then has to cross the Atlantic and most of Canada. Would have just been quicker to mail it from China to me! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
