RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted July 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) You successfully scraped under the bar! The last one we could sell for pre-order sold yesterday at midday, so now the item is marked as sold out to prevent further orders. We have kept back a couple of unsold spares as we usually do (just in case any locos arrive damaged, we don't have to ask people to wait further for replacement stock or warranty repairs to be carried out) so we will probably have more available after they've arrived, but at the moment that's all folks! Cheers to those that did order by the way! Edited July 20, 2018 by Derails Models 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigherb Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yay, Lilleshall is in at Hornby, looking forward to this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Are these (the black ones) now available? It would appear so from the last few posts but I have heard nothing from Hattons, where I ordered one somewhere back in the mists of time and I would have thought that if a small shop such as Derails has them then Hattons would too.

They arrived at Hornby today, Tuesday, so they will begin being distributed to retailers in the next few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_tyne Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 No doubt the next batch of Peckett's will sell out in record time. I still haven't seen one in the flesh but hopefully might get a chance to this time around... as long as they don't all well out on pre-order!!

flyingsignalman Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Is such a thinly disguised comment really necessary? All it does to me is demonstrate your limited vocabulary and your inability to moderate it in mixed company. Workshop language should be kept for the workshop.My apologies for the comment. I've amended it as I don't wish to cause offence; all I can say is it was a "knee jerk response" moment. I've been waiting for it to arrive at my local model shop since the start of last year. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigherb Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Vanessa has joined the West Kent sand fleet. Nothing much to add from the previous release. still has the plastic whistle unfortunately, but it does feel stronger, all present and correct and runs superbly straight out of the box. £81 delivered a bargain compared to the Barclays. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hopeing to get one, had pre-ordered from my local shop, when they were announced, however the shop closed in April and I had to reorder from a mail order supplier. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 I was informed today that mine has arrived and is awaiting collection at Alton Model Centre. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
90rob Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well mine has arrived from Cornwall this morning, and I'm afraid that straight out of the box it is not a brilliant runner, with a distinct tendency to 'limp' at slower speeds. There seems to be a lot of white grease on the visible gear wheel, so I'll give it an hours running in and see if that sorts it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Mine are gliding around the test track at the moment although one's about 10% faster than the other. Hope you get sorted. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of white grease on the visible gear wheel, so I'll give it an hours running in and see if that sorts it out. Pleased to report that all is now well - the loco was initially running slower than my earlier MSC version and had the distinct 'limp' mentioned, but 60 minutes going round and round and (despite all the grease) re-lubrication of all the usual points and it is now running very well indeed. Quite a relief - I don't like sending things back, but would have if it had not improved. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium maq1988 Posted July 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2018 Finally got my own Peckett today - only to leave it at work! Quick question on the Lilleshall (black) version. The artwork shows the chimney to be plain, but there is a little valve like assembly on the model, which is no problem to me. Curious - what is it?

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted July 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2018 Oh no! How many Pecketts is it morally right to own? In conceptual terms, I find that I need quite a lot, certainly more than what I currently have but aesthetically a nice round number is 3. Wherefore art thou, O third Peckett? Shall I sally forth on the morrow and search thee out? I don't need another one but those black fellows do look superb! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
