We’ve had a rather gigantic backlog which has delayed photography with so much stock and samples arriving at once. We’ll hopefully be caught up in the coming week and will post as we process. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I must say the DPS/Rails packaging does look rather nice (From DPS Facebook page back in FEB!!!). I'm surprised this has not been posted here before. I especially like the maps of the Kings Cross area (1961 or 1982???): 11 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are thus Schrodinger's product, neither here nor there, but instead existing in both states at once. I could go on, but that is a rather large crowd of armed fellows rapidly approaching me, so I shall take my leave, good day. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this sweet shop at the bottom of the road, with a sign in the window. A young boy read the sign "Free sweets tomorrow". The next day the boy hastily runs down to the shop and asks the shopkeeper for the free sweets. The shopkeeper takes him outside and shows him the sign ...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted May 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, Current info is that the ship will dock at the weekend, the containers will be unloaded and transferred to the warehouse early next week, then breakdown, accepting into stock, checks followed by picking, packing and posting several thousand orders will begin. As there are many, many pre-orders to fulfil we estimate it will take 7-10 working days to get them all out there (worst case scenario) and will be done in date order of fully paid up orders. So, you patience while we complete this (and we will go as fast as we can) will be much appreciated. Not too long to go! Cheers!
