I completely agree in the context of model railway items where there is normally plenty of time to order. Nearly everything I have missed out on has simply been because I should have gotten it ordered when I had the chance. I know people will say "but you don't know what you're getting" but distance selling rules still apply. If it's a bag of you know what, get it sent back for a refund! Stuff like concert tickets that sell out literally in seconds, assuming you can access the website to buy them, is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2023 Whilst complaining at the high price 1 model goes for above rrp s/h on ebay, no one is complaining at the 20 others which sell s/h for less than rrp. To me its healthy to have a stand out model every now and again. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are specific threads on the forum within which those that want to can grumble about selling/buying outside of the usual manufactuers and retailer outlets, such as ebay. Last couple of days have seen enough guff deposited on here as it is. Can we get back on topic please ?

Nigel Emery Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 At the time of writing Arcadia in Shaw (01706 882900) still have 37027, 37409 and 37606 (all non sound). No online ordering so you’ll need to ring and speak to Tim or Karen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob You must be new to the world of inter web - i'll break it to you gently - Thread creep IS a thing ...

Think it was 70% as default. https://youtu.be/9GL3lgRb6jw?si=inQ2q55vQXeO4-q7 I have a digital sound meter and I set all my locos to 62db. It's amazing that you can hear four different locos running around wether they are steam, electric or diesel. Most locos from the factory are too loud and drown out the other locos when running around a layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I ordered one on Monday. The first locomotive and probably the first ever actual thing I have ordered online from a moving bus.

I thought it was imminent in May 2022 so I paid for it. I've got the receipt to prove it. I find it ironic that over on the Hornby 2mt thread there was periodic wailing about how long it was taking. It was announced 3 months after the Accurascale 37 and I've got mine. I'm sure when it comes I'll be very pleased with it. I'm just a bit frustrated at the moment. Godot.

Bonjour Wooders.... Well..............One outstanding project is that of a mid to late 1960s Framlinghamesque East Anglian backwater..........A Type 3, incongruous as it may well be in such a scenario, would be a nice addition to the existing fleet held in stock for just such a venture........as would the Brush Type 2 which is also eagerly awaited. So, standing by to receive a nice green SYP Type 3. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37081LochLong Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The police 37 would really only be a novelty piece for the collectors but add a police siren and blue flashing light, make it an Accurascale exclusive (imagine the Jam sandwich box it would come in) and I'd buy one to replace my Lima one :) 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since it was only done for the advert is why I said it would be a novelty piece more than anything (doesn't stop me wanting it though :)) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
