tinsley-toton Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I ordered 2x sound fitted 25324 in August 21 and have not heard anything, not going to call to update debit card as I don't want to bother them. T-T 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I was starting to worry, but it seems everyone who ordered a sound fitted 25324 are waiting for theirs too. Oh well, back to drooling over my Cavalex 56. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ease the clips just inboard of the rear wheelsets (it helps to insert small strips of plasticard). The body should then be able to be carefully pulled away. Chris Thanks Chris, Well I tried it this morning and removed the body with out a problem did had you said with 4 small plastic scrapers just behind the rear wheel sets on both bogies then moved them a little near the tanks. I reinserted the mounting screws in to the chassis and then slide the body off I didn't put it back on the plinth as the scrapers are to long but could cut them down. The thing I noticed in side the wires are quite short that are used for the cab and domino lighting so will have to remember for when I DCC fit my chip. I have gone for a Lez sliver plus 22 chip just waiting on rails now for that. Thanks Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChrisMitchell Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 Hi Folks I was chatting to Phil Sutton last night on other matters and I asked him how it was going with the Class 25s….this is what he told me : “They are only sending out the first two models (D7599 in Green and 25324 in Blue) at this stage. People only need to contact them directly if they have changed delivery address or telephone number/e-mail. They will get in touch with customers if they need anything else, usually to update payment card details. Bear in mind SLW is only a small company open four days a week (Tuesday to Friday) and are working through a massive number of orders. It will take a good few weeks to get through them all, so some patience will be needed. Payment having been taken indicates things are progressing and Royal Mail will send a tracking info e-mail when out for delivery (tracked and signed for). Ringing ad hoc will only slow things down.” I hope that helps set everyone’s mind rest. I also have models on order so patience is needed. From what I saw of the pre-production models whilst operating Mostyn at the Spalding show last year, they will be worth the wait regards, Chris 9 1 7 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I received a call from Suttons/Rail Exclusive this morning. They were processing my order for a green 25 dc ready. They asked for my new credit card details, despite me updating this before Christmas. I gave them again and was advised I would get Royal Mail tracking details in a few days. So even if you updated your cc details, you may get a call like I did. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, I am and Jennie emailed me some weeks ago and said “ I can see that you have made payment for your first pre-order with us and that yours is one of the oldest orders so you will be amongst the first in the queue”. In others words, some serious patience is going to be needed by people, for reasons explained multiple times on here already. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy That - and because I'm waiting on a different model from the one they currently dealing with - is why I'm not badgering them with emails. It will come when it's ready. 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris56057 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I had a call from SLW to update my card details and check posting address, later got an email with a Royal Mail tracking link attached. Looking forward to receiving 25324, it has been a long time coming but I know it will be worthwhile. I'll upload some photos over the weekend. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
