Down_Under Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Has anyone else had issues with missing parts from their 4mm kits ordered in the last year? If so, were these issues resolved? If so how? I have purchased 5 industrial kits during the past year, and 3/5 have had missing parts, and in some cases contained extra parts. OX1 Peckett Kit - missing all castings, a few etches and sent the wrong saddle tank wrapper. 16" Barclay (prewar) - missing several castings - cross heads, and springs. Missing foot plate/running plate etch, cylinder etch brake block etch. Bizarrely came with 5 chimneys, and extra cab (in brass) and buffer beam etches. 16" Barclay (postwar) - missing half the white metal saddle tank (does come with etched saddle wrapper), brake block etches and numerous castings. Again, also include 2 extra chassis, and half an extra cab. Also have a Class 14 and a 55050 Class, haven't really delved into these yet. I've emailed Trevor numerous times with pictures and listed what I think is missing, and the usual response is/was "I'll send with the next kit", or "be in the post next week". I understand that he was overwhelmed with the response to only batch produce kits. Last few emails have gone unanswered. Is all OK? Are they still trading? Have I been unlucky, or is this normal experience to get a kit with major components missing? Any suggestions as to follow up (bearing in mind I'm in Austalia).
