Like yourself, I have also received an email saying my order has been received... so ... the waiting is nearly over and a model of the World's most aesthetically odd looking locomotive is nearly with us! 🤪 Edited August 1, 2022 by Railsnail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted August 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2022 Just received two identical emails saying that they've got my order...... As Mrs H hasn't yet got me anything for my impending birthday, that could work nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I have received an e-mail from KR,: "We have finished processing your order". Does this infer the model is being shipped to my address? Has anyone received their Fell locomotive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted August 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2022 Just received email from KR Models advising that they have finished processing my order which, I presume, means that my Fell is on the way 🙂. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just had the same email but it was for the GT3 so 🤷♂️. I had 2 saying that they'd received my order for the Fell earlier in the week and both were for the same order No. for the black model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fell loco caught fire at Manchester Central not Piccadily (then London Road) as quoted, and some of the comments about Derby works I did not quite follow-it was a busy workshop into the 1970's as I recall with class 20's Peaks 24s 25's. It was a very interesting read to see the engine as a 'might have been', tho its not clear about how its maintenance and fuel costs compare to a similar powered diesel electric.

NoDominion Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Well I said we’d be waiting til August; guess I was wrong, we’re still waiting! Ah well, if we’re lucky we may see the fell in a week or two. Not holding my breath though… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted August 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2022 I was wondering this today. Newsletter 35, June 12th said.. Quote The latest update on the Fell is that they are now on their way to the warehouse and we will give you an update once they have cleared customs. Delivery as per the docking date will be in July. So final delivery will be a short time after that. I guess they must be pretty close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesfeldian Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 There's a full review of the production model (plus an interesting loco history feature ) in the new Hornby magazine. I think a shipping container is probably on its way 😃 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 7 day strike is over, but any container ships from the far east, due to dock during that period, won't have waited, but gone on to Europe, so likely to have discharged containers for the UK at Rotterdam or Hamburg, where they will have to be booked on already busy feeder vessels.

There are currently four recent arrival comtainer vessels ay felixstowe (s 2 of them arrived today) and one which arrived on the 30th and currently appears to be preparing to sail. The ro-ro ships have seemed to be working as normal at Felixstowe. But no doubt some container vessels had their port calling pattern altered to deal with the impact of the strike. The box containing the fells (in groupage?) could be anywhere from still not loaded to a ship in China to sitting somewhere in the UK having the groupage traffic sorted for final delivery because KR never give out any information about the progress of their models towards the UK. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last day of the strike was 29th Aug, so not surprising that container vessels arrived on 30th, the port operator will want to get shipping into port immediately and will have scheduled arrivals. The biggest issue is creating container space for arrivals, which relies on existing stacked containers being released to road and rail haulage. RoRo vessels are not the same as feeder vessels, which are smaller container ships. It's not easy to get enough skeletal trailers to move hundreds of diverted containers by RoRo. As far as notification of product shipping, I can only give experience as a GT3 second run customer. KR sent me an e-mail that the GT3 was shipped and another when it arrived at the UK warehouse. I've not received shipping advice about my Fell order shipment, only the obscure reference in the June and July newsletters, with a photo of a Maersk container ship at sea.
