Wish I'd bought our model shop version now!Somehow, I don't think the black version is not as appealing, but I hear that the pre-order sales have sold out... Ian.

Guest Midland Mole Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) I purchased my H&P Peckett back when they first released, and put it in a draw. I just decided today to get it out and display it for a while when I noticed the chassis is loose at the back. On further inspection the head of the screw is completely knackered so I cant tighten it. I guess it will have to remain a display model for now....whick is fine because I love just looking at it.

I've just had a quick look and quite a few retailers are advertising it as still available for pre-order. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole @ Footplate Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) We still have the new black one available for pre-order. Alex Edited July 2, 2017 by Midland Mole @ Footplate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted July 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2017 Like you, I've just removed the MSC Peckett from the shelf. Then , I put it straight back (at prices like this, I can't afford to open the box.....). This got me thinking... How long before we start seeing fake Peckett's on that well-known auction sites, purporting to be the real thing? Quick! Grab your Pollie/Nellie/Connie/Willie/Aunty Flo and your fortune is just awaiting you! Some of the more adept at telling tall stories will kid you that's it's kit built, and completely original, down to the detail added by little Johnny, as the 'absolutely original example' took a nosedive onto the chocolate strewn kitchen floor.... It's still in original packaging, by the way... Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 No amount of money is going to separate me from my last Peckett!

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted July 5, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2017 I hope that what happened with the HFAs doesnt happen with the Peckett.. Imagine if the new Lilleshall Peckett showed up using a smokey joe tooling ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Depends on mazak. One hopes not, but that only makes the point that its better to enjoy running it now than to unwrap a pile of grey dust in 20 years time. I do have to say that after all the angst about short production runs and the impossibility of finding an unsold example, its quite astonishing to find so many admitting to have bought one and never used it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black and decker boy Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I get a lot of comments at shows about my Peckett, firstcomments is nearly always "it's the first one I've ever seen" then "isn't it wonderful" I have never seen another working in a layout so far, maybe they are too treasured to be risked in public :-o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted July 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 9, 2017 Trouble is with models sold today they are produced in small numbers. So if you see a model you like you have to buy it when it first comes out. Or risk missing out. That apples to those currently with out room for a layout just as much. In my difference most of my other stock as seen many hours of run time. However I am seriously thinking of selling up and changing scale which would probably take up less room and lead to a garden layout. And so the H&P was not bought just for profit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
