Norm81 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I really hope the initial two releases sell well and they move on to doing D5061 as she is on the NYMR with the lower bodyside stripe etc. Will definitely have one if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 has anyone any thoughts on the bogie air pipes? having not got mine yet, they appear to be hanging off and not running true to the top of the frames on the loco pictured above, whereas on the photos of the real D5000 there fit nicely along the top of the bogie frame. i don't recall this being mentioned in the last 29 pages http://www.derbysulzers.com/5000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad McCann Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 No decorum: "if all else fails, remember that long after the cost has been forgotten, the bruises have faded and the broken bones knitted, you'll still have this little gem." Not if it was the impact of the 'little gem' 24 that caused the bruises... Could be worse; at least in that scenario it wasn't (ahem) diverted via a route it was 'out of gauge for'...

DoverPriory Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Mine arrived this morning via Royal Mail - with prior email announcing delivery. Professionally parceled all the way down to the 'tin' they are contained in. Only prob I've got is that the website with the instruction manual wasn't available - TalkTalk was directing me to amongst other things a site about Type 2 diabetes!! However I will send off for a paper copy after Christmas. Initial impression is of a superbly detailed model the like of which I haven't seen before. Sadly I've got to go out shopping now for all that food that isn't going to get eaten this next weekend. But look forward to getting my type 24's onto the track later and using the sound chips- hey they even contain detonators guys. Happy memories of travelling between Folkestone and Dover in the sixties (along Little Switzerland) in the fog behind Mr Bulleid's steamers with detonator accompaniment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLIBOD17 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Wasn't expecting my 24081 till the New Year but it's arrived already. It certainly sets a new standard in '00' r-t-r models. May there be many more. A nice 25/0 in blue and yellow with dot headcodes would be great please SLW. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittannia Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Received my Blue sound 24 today, [had ordered earlier ,but been away for a few days], impressed with the quality of the loco and the packaging of both the cardboard delivery box and the metal loco box plus the acrylic see through showcase, similar to some Continental locos, I feel this model is excellent value for money especially comparing with some of the high ended Continental prices [although the weak euro has been a bonus]. The only negative I have is the 6 month guarantee against failing parts, similar European Manufacturers give a 2 year full guarantee against failed parts, plus certain German shops give an extra year guarantee on top.

RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted December 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2015 My model of 24081 also arrived this morning and I am more than happy at the price judging by the standard of detail only drawbacks personally for me are also the 6month warranty on parts failing and the white pipes around the bogies they seem a bit low down. Other than that I'm looking forward to the next model if this is what's to be expected. Also as its a 28function sound decoder its taking some getting use to as I'm currently using a Dynamis set up I'm going to have to upgrade my DCC setup in the future.

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted December 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2015 Not a gripe but a genuine question... How can SLW have a 6 months warrantee when European Law/regulations/standards/whatever states that 2 years warrantee is the norm, (with exceptions, wear and tear, etc). Kev.

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted December 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2015 Not a gripe but a genuine question... How can SLW have a 6 months warrantee when European Law/regulations/standards/whatever states that 2 years warrantee is the norm, (with exceptions, wear and tear, etc). Kev. The secret 2 year european warranty mentioned by the Daily Mail etc on slow news days was a directive which was not adopted in the uk because the existing 'sale of goods act' gave buyer far greater rights with protection for potentially up to 6 years. The sale of goods act and distance selling regs have since been updated with the 'consumer rights act' introduced during October which has helped clarify certain rights.

How can SLW have a 6 months warrantee when European Law/regulations/standards/whatever states that 2 years warrantee is the norm, (with exceptions, wear and tear, etc). Kev. Kev, No warrantee can reduce the protection that the Law gives, so to that extent warrantees are worthless. I never fill out 'guarantee forms' with any purchase, their sole useful purpose is to give the manufacturer your name, address, 'phone number(s) and email address which they can use for marketing purposes. I rarely have cause for complaint with items I buy, but if I do, I return to the seller, explain politely what the problem is and ask how they intend to solve it. Most retailers know that the weight of the Law is with the consumer, but perhaps more importantly, that it takes time to build a good reputation and a few moments to loose it with poor customer care. On the three occassions that retailers have tried to get out of their obligations, a letter detailing the case I would be putting before the Court has pursuaded them that they would like to settle the matter amicably after all. In this specific instance, I would suggest you look to see if RAIL EXCLUSIVE (as they are the retailer of this model) has a good or a bad reputation for quality of product and efficiency of customer care and base your judgement on what you find. My own view is that with RAIL EXCLUSIVE you can trust both to be well in excess of anything written in any warrantee. There are examples of their 'beyond the call of duty' aftercare within the pages of this illustrious forum. Remember, this business is not a faceless PLC. If you have a problem, you can speak directly with the man himself, so it's in his interests to sort it out for you as speedily as possible and without rancur.

brittannia Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi Paul. I think I am correct in saying I instigated the question of warranty, the integrity of SLW was not in question , but I am sure some purchasers would have seen the 6 month warranty and kept to the letter and may not complain [ not knowing their customer rights} , say a light started malfunctioning ,they may have thought ,oh well it is only a light, lights being the one bugbear I have noticed on certain manufacturers equipment. So perhaps the guarantee could have reworded to give any unknowing customer their legal rights. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
