F-UnitMad Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just to update my own post got a reply on bookface that a funder update is imminent....... I should imagine (as I wasn't there) that Steve was pretty busy at a certain model railway show over this weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Is a comment like that really worthy of this forum? Tim That's mild, mate. You've only been here a few days. Tongue-in-cheek comments like that about rucksacks, B.O., etc etc are par for the course when it comes to commenting about the Warley Show or several others, come to that.

delticfan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Is a comment like that really worthy of this forum? Tim Why not, it seems to be a feature of quite a few shows, not the most enjoyable I have to say. Sorry I won’t bring it up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CME and Bottlewasher Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanks Captain Cuttle - obliged, I'm not surprised. I wish LLC all the best as their efforts are admirable, yet I hope that this Cl22 won't end up like the King Tiger or similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I had an email update too, & the delay is a knock-on from an issue regarding the Rustons production. I won't go into detail here but it increases my admiration for Steve and his determination with these ventures, as I would've asked "who wants the agravation?" & thrown in the towel ages ago..!!

Giles Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Can anyone be so kind as to pass the update on to me? I haven't received one for some reason, although I am a 'funder' and I should be very interested to know the latest.... do please PM me if you would (anyone who has the info!))

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted April 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Any more news coming? Not heard anything for three months and when logging into the LLC site and my account it says I have no orders and no per-orders even though I am a funder of the Cl22 (and was of the Cl15 as well).......bit puzzled.

I've emailed LLCo a couple of times in the last few months but have not received a reply. I have also noticed that Steve himself has not visited here for a while. I do hope everything is OK. I have a similar issue to yourself with my pre-order, but for the Ruston 48ds. I in no way want to pester or chase, I am just concerned; as long as he is alright and well that is all that matters. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Steve posted on the LLC Facebook page in Feb to say that the Ruston was 8-12 weeks away. But did also say he had been ill since Christmas. Might be worth trying to contact through there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CME and Bottlewasher Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Funnily enough I was just pondering my Class 22 order today. I've not had an update email either. Steve did tell me he was poorly back last Christmas and I wished him well but have heard nowt since. Atvb to all, CME. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdvle Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 From the LLC Facebook page. 1) dated February 6 Quote Sorry all, I've been ill over Christmas and January. A bacterial infection followed immediately by a viral infection. I was just too beat up to do much at all I'm afraid. I'm better now, thankfully. As Nikki kindly conveyed for me recently, we had confirmation from the plastics factory that the superstructures of the open cab Ruston will be here in no more than 8 weeks, very possibly sooner. From there they go straight to decoration and sub-assembly. Likewise with the die-casting, we are looking at approx 8-10 weeks for delivery. These are supplied pre-painted so we move straight to sub-assembly on these. The electronics are mostly off the shelf or already in stock at LLC. The only outstanding issue we have is with the machined parts. Four separate UK companies have agreed to produce them and then pulled out, so we are now looking at overseas production, unless anyone knows somebody with a sliding head CNC lathe? Everything is looking better than it did last year. Originally one factory was going to produce everything but gradually pulled out of producing part after part and then finally assembly. I've now found new suppliers for all the parts they pulled and have a small assembly team based in the UK waiting to receive parts. If necessary I will chisel these models from raw material to get them out so one way or another they will be released. Apologies again for the lack of comms. From March 14th Quote We have commissioned a few special editions with our last remaining stocks of Class 15 locos. All are full sound DCC (DC available for special order for £100 less) and have sympathetic weathering applied. The cost is only £499. Available immediately are the following: D8202 Norwich-based with large nose numbers in all green D8204 Norwich-based with large nose numbers is all green Available shortly are the following: D8202 Norwich-based with alternative style nose numbers in SYP 8228 Colchester Pilot in FYE Having sold out of the limited run of Liverpool Street Pilots, we will also commission a small rerun with the same options: All green Small yellow panel Full yellow end with black buffer beams The models are exclusively available through our ebay shop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/littlelococo 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
