SWT442 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I'm still waiting for 005 to arrive from Hattons. All 6 were pre-ordered at the begining of this year, but the first lot (9 wagons from 001 to 004) came first with one of 006 coming over a week later. I initially pre-order them Summer 2015 when it was just 001 to 004 on offer but had to change it completely when they added the second two and messed around with which one was going to be what colour, as I'd have ended up with 6 white ones in a rake of 10! Will have to drop them an e-mail and see what's what. Andy. Edited April 5, 2016 by SWT442 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 5, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2016 Just had a phone call from a fairly large supplier saying that they have also run out and do not know whether they would be getting more stock Is there a case for more of these wagons to be made? It would be interesting to know how many others of us would like to buy more of them, rather than having to go down the "used wagon market" route. If Dapol are reading this, hopefully, they'll be booking another production slot ASAP... In the meantime, cue silly prices on ebay/ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesthecat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 2 wagons arrived safely from jacksons models this morning so thanks big Jim for the tip. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2016 No probs, I was tempted to call in there yesterday and see if the last 2 were still there, I only discovered jacksons late last year as they are tucked away in a back street in wigton, cracking little shop, lots on offer and as can be seen by the price of the HIAs (£21.99) very reasonable prices too, they had a 2nd hand Heljan EWS 58 last year for £90 which I was very tempted by but managed to resist!

Has anyone else had chance to give theirs a dust of weathering yet? I'm hoping to get them done in the next few days. They're all stripped and ready to airbrush the interior. Have a look at RS4's weathering thread - Nick's already done his set. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emdpowerrules Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I do however seem have a little problem as one of mine won't roll and I can't quite see what the issue is No longer in the cripple siding. Dealer had sold out but Dapol have supplied wheelsets and included the bogie too. Graham 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to drop them an e-mail and see what's what. Andy. Hattons appear to have had a strange way of deciding who got what and when. I too received 001-004 at the same time, and received 006 about a week later. At the same time their website showed 005 and 006 as "in stock" and available for sale, but I never received 005 and they've all now disappeared from the website. I await the arrival of 005, but so far in vain. As others have already said, hopefully Dapol will realise that selling decent quality wagons at reasonable prices means that they don't sit around on shelves for very long. Perhaps they can force the other manufacturers to have a rethink about their recent price hikes of old models and over the top pricing of newer ones!

RMweb Gold Red Fox Posted April 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2016 Regarding the problems with Hattons and 005 I had all six wagons on pre-order and 001 to 004 were dispatched when they arrived in stock. 005 and 006 arrived in stock about a week later but I got a dispatch note for only 006 so I emailed them that day to query this as I didn't want to get charged another £4 P&P. The reply I got was that there had been a processing problem when the order went through their system. They apologised and 005 was sent. I would contact Hattons if I were you as that is what may have happened to your orders for 005 but I doubt they have any HIA's left to dispatch now.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 12, 2016 Some of the HIAs have had their Freightliner branding removed (or painted over). The lead wagon in this pic is an example. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If it helps at all, as of lunchtime today, Mankim Models of Colchester, north Essex, had one each of the green HIAs 001 and 002 and one of the white livery (sorry didn't get the number for that one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Had a really good look at mine today and they are very nice wagons, but does anybody feel the buffers look a little bit tiny in comparison ???
