DelticBlade Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Somewhere above, there is a mention of a Tom Waits tune. Did anyone else read it with the accompanying sound of hammers, drills, routers etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course the ship might have been re-routed to call Rotterdam before calling at Felixstowe thus delaying its arrival at the British port from the weekend.

Its a bit like people calling a locomotive a train!! All the very best and really looking forward to receiving my set of Deltics as and when you and the team get them to me.

Who said the ship was an Evergreen vessel. I've just realised that next week is a short week (i.e. Thurs and Fri are bank holidays). Thereby meaning if container arrives in warehouse on Tuesday, 10 days of dispatch time takes us to Wednesday 15th... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERandBR Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Nobody is forcing you to read the thread, this will be where people will post their thoughts on their new models when they arrive.

Foulounoux Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I made a similar comment on Facebook but Having worked in logistics for many years and had to handle imports from Asia all I can say is the team at Accurascale have managed this superbly its a complex enough task in normal times but in these current covid days what they have done in getting these models here is nothing short of extraordinary Well done to all and as someone with 2 blue beasts in that container thankyou 4 9 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Fran Hey ho, that puts me in number 1 spot, i ordered the first 2, fully paid on the stand at warley way back in Nov 2018… for once I can say, form an orderly line behind me…. (reminds me ive still got to cough up for the last two). Edited May 25, 2022 by adb968008 5 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
