RMweb Gold Pedro32 Posted October 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2022 Fran and Team AS, Good things come to those who wait-I’m certainly looking forward to the arrivals in the new year. “The further good news is that we have secured sufficient supply for run 2 too, so keep an eye out for that” This comment in your update has piqued my interest significantly 😀 Ooooh let frothing commence, more beautiful blue and large logo ones pretty please 🙏 all the best Peter 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2022 Don’t Panic! 😆 Chaps I can’t find anything on the website or newsletter that says which locos are in batches 1,2 & 3 From the website; “We had hoped to deliver this batch of locomotives this month, but as you can gather, that is now unrealistic. We have now an updated delivery date for all three batches that are as follows; Batch One: January 2023 Batch Two: March 2023 Batch Three: April 2023” Just curious which one my one is in and I’m sure others are too, if you could list which is which? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hound Dog Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 It is going to be torture listening to many rave about their new 37’s between January and my Green version arriving in April…… might have to crank up the CV settings on my Deltics to drown out the noise - LOL 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is before we discuss that clothes depreciate in value, whereas model railway secondhand values seem to be holding or, indeed, increasing.

I have mentioned to the staff that I will buy Stratford ones & I expect may others will too, so I hope these will be included in future batches. They simply smiled back at me. Time is not a problem.

Roy You’re going discuss logic in a trains vs clothes discussion with the other half? It’s a good job looks don’t kill, although it appears you may find them making you feel slightly uncomfortable 😉 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awful thing to happen and the rapido team have our deepest sympathy on that one. What an awful watch it was and thing to happen on such a lovely model (I do have one of the first batch myself) Really hope the boxes did their job and protected the models! Cheers! Fran Unfortunately, it was like a slo mo horror film. As soon as the truck driver placed the pallet on the skew on the taillift we knew it was going to end really badly. As you say, deepest sympathies to Rapido as you and they are my goto model manufacturers - even though you tease us rotten. You really need to announce the centre headcode 37s so we can get the orders in. You know we want those big dirty green and blue BR CF LE ML and IM beasts, and we could start paying for them even if they don't arrive until late 2024 or 2025 !!! Also soon time to announce more building Britain wagons like XKBs and YTXs - Steve Nicholls are you listening !!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of locomotives went to Stratford I believe, in the good old days for overhaul when Stratford was a Level 5 Depot. Plus expect being London anything could pretty much turn up, especially with a Freightliner Depot etc., nearby permitting locos to hitch a ride to works. Oh, how we used to run the railway.....

Little surprised that the black don't as low as the top if the grills, or even to the traditional window frames as per TTG liveries. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alan Oliver Posted October 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hoping a second batch has a 37/5 in intercity 37515 for example and a 37/7 in Mainline as 37798. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 798 has been done twice by Bachmann (via Rail Express) and even earlier than that by Lima (sorry about any nasty words!) . How about 37803 in Mainline Blue? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
