RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted February 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2017 Perhaps if I was given some idea of timing when the item was expected I may have thought differently, another 6 months or a year may assist matters. Then thecourse of action open to you is to contact Kernow.Today might be a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG 7305 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I called Kernow yesterday and they were happy to renew my pre-order without any payment. I think the email was worded a little clumsily but they also want to get an up to date view of the pre-orders and if they can get pre-payment even better.

Coach bogie Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I too found the email not particularly clear. I have now paid in full. Even at £159, the price is not out of sync with other producers. £149 for a Dapol class 68 for comparison. Added bonus is £15 money off other purchases.

stewartingram Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If you think this has taken a while (and I'm confident it is on its way), just remember Wrenn & Dapol not forgetting Kitmaster ! What happened to the B-G, Adams Radial, Manchester Pullmans, A3 etc? Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I’ve paid for mine. £10 discount and £15 credit isn’t at all bad. I’ve been musing over a second and decided to order it at the same time. I didn’t get the £15 credit on the second one. I didn’t think I would but I thought it worth asking. I’m fairly content to pay, after all I’ve had the money for one set aside since North British went bust. I have a notion that I might like two more Bulleids. Suddenly I’ve stopped feeling impatient. Time to feed the piggy bank. Come to think of it, I shall have to stagger to a bank with all those pound coins soon, shan’t I? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted February 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2017 For me the biggest surprise with all the delays is that people seem to be surprised by them. It has been going on for long enough now that I am not quite sure what people are expecting. The 2H and Warship will be my longest waits, but I am glad I waited for the 2H and I am sure I will love the Warship as well. Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No impatience on my part and I shall still be having the two D6XX I ordered some long time back - these things take time and money to get them to our front doors. No Bulleids on order but that's because they're the wrong sort of Railway for me and no other reason beyond my simplistic bias although I do remember them in traffic so might just be tempted (although there are plenty of other goodies for me in Kernow's pipeline). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted February 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2017 I had this email several weeks ago, and declined as I'd prefer to wait until EP models are with us. On saying that though, I doubt even if there were minor issues the four horsemen of the apocalypse couldn't stop me from buying them, I've preordered two. I hope they eventually do the BSYP D602, they'd have another sale with me if they did. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Great that they're moving ahead. I'm much more interested in the bulleid locos really mind. But have a soft spot for the warships (D827 being named Kelly), and d6xx would go nicely with the d8xx models, though no where planned atm to run them!

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted February 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think we have to be realistic about this. Kernow weren't responsible for the delays, and they're the ones who've been spending money that they won't be able to recover until the models finally arrive. If they don't make a profit out of this then they're going to be a lot less able (and probably a lot less willing) to fund further commissions. That means that they have to adjust the price, If customers are unhappy with the new price then they can cancel and just as I think Kernow are fully justified in adjusting the price in these circumstances so I also think that consumers are fully justified in cancelling if the price changes like this to a point that they no longer feel happy with. That said, I think the new price is where I'd expect it to be and do not consider it over priced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm biased I know but think , having saw the example at Woodhams, they were a stylish and purposeful looking loco. I'm certainly glad I'm getting the chance to make it for Kernow, that's for sure! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
