RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted November 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2022 I currently have a four pack of GNR Genesis coaches that are due February 2023, a three pack of BR Crimson Genesis coaches due when they get here and two Rapido Wisbech and Upwell tramway coaches which will also arrive when they get here. All will go in my trunk with Hattons and will only be requested for delivery when my wife is away and will not see their arrival! 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted November 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2022 If you choose DPD for delivery you could have them sent to a local pick-up point. Could make sneaking them in easier. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantock Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Just had an order processed email for 9 LNWR coaches:). Assume payment taken but not rushing to assume imminent delivery. There were some on display at Warley I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use collect from my local Argos for eBay wins but they are normally single unboxed items which will fit is jacket pocket to get past SWTSMBO ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amdaley Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have 6 LNWR coaches on the way plus 4 more LMS coaches in my trunk. I'm also looking for an LMS Brake 3rd or LMS full brake but alas they are all sold out. Hopefully a couple will become available if some cancel their orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3489gibson Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Another vast sum due out of my account this week... Got my email for the SE&CR coaches late last night... Still, they should look nice with my SE&CR tricomp kit.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted November 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've received two emails from Hattons, first one covering the SECR 4-pack with the second covering the LMS & LNWR 4-packs. This was followed today by two more emails, first one advising that the SECR 4-pack is due for delivery tomorrow by DPD with the second one advising that the LMS & LNWR 4-packs will also be delivered by DPD tomorrow. Now I've got to find where I've hidden the LNWR loco for which the LNWR 4-pack has been purchased for........ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them at Warley on Saturday, so looking forward to receiving them, a nice pre-Christmas surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunnan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I can't even remember what I ordered...and I'm trying very hard not to look so it comes as a surprise when I open the box tomorrow! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Din Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The decorated Midland Railway samples had me making all sorts of Colonel Bloodnok style noises near to them when I saw them. I suspect I am going to sell off some other attic tat and see if I can score a pack of four. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEngineShed Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Five of the six LNWR coaches I ordered were added to my trunk yesterday. Minus the full brake, I'm hoping that item gets added, otherwise Hattons either oversold or were shorted on that item because they accepted my pre-order. Airlines oversell the seats on flights, assuming a percentage will miss the flight. As I said, I'm hoping... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Rowsley17D Posted December 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 My 4 LMS coaches arrived today in good shape. Makes me want to re-livery my bogies to full lining but life's too short for me to do it and I don't have deep enough pockets to pay somebody to do it for me. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted December 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I don't know if footboard removal has been covered before but there's a small cross-head screw at either end but the two middle supports are glued in place. I thin bladed scalpel inserted carefully between the footboard and the underframe with a slight twist will break the glue bond. In order to get the single footboard sitting straight it's was necessary, on mine, to straighten out the first fixing lug in from the left with a pair of piers. The end fixing screws are more than enough to hold the footboards in place. Edited December 1, 2022 by Rowsley17D 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well apart from the moron DPD driver ignoring the safe place instruction on their app for the second parcel this week and leaving it outside ‘hidden behind a flowerpot half the height of the box?!?, not in the porch as he claims despite his own photo evidence, mine arrived safely no thanks to him. One vent was loose in the box but soon glued back on. Top job Hattons. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted December 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2022 Here's some roof lighting details (No idea which!) I took last Saturday...

LondonCharivari Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Got my email confirming my SECR coaches were being processed a couple of days ago, but sad to say I've now been emailed to say Hattons can't fulfill part of my pre-order. Unfortunate this is still happening with orders. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost out on two coaches from my first deliveries (despite having a very early pre-order in) and this time around I lost out on one SECR coach ( again an early pre-order) !

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted December 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2022 Full Brakes seem to be a bit thin on the ground. Speculation alert!

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2022 My only Genesis purchase to date is a 6-wheel full brake in Southern livery. Delightful. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be helpful if they explained what has happened ? all I know is my Genesis order, placed in Feb 2021, has disappeared when I log into my Hattons account, the order number and amount is still listed (along with my other 'shipped' orders of many years...), but when I click on the link (for my Genesis coach order) it takes me to 'page not found' error message... I have emailed Hattons** to enquire about this... **update #1, things do seem to be ok with my order, somehow it had ended up in my trunk, so fingers crossed now--thanks to Hattons too for picking up my email enquiry :-) **update #2, now shipped, awaiting arrival 🤞 cheers, Keith Edited December 3, 2022 by tractionman updates 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted December 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2022 Sorry to hear that some of you are having problems. My 6 SECR coaches turned up on time yesterday afternoon delivered by a very polite and friendly DPD driver. Only checked two of them so far and they are perfect and really lovely little coaches. Hopefully I’ll get around to playing with testing them all later. 😀 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
