RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted August 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Very nice. So... are you doing the Shenfield Shark? edit: I'm serious, I would buy one (happy for it to be intact, no need to replicate the missing planks).

Courtybella Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 To order the shark + seacow six vehicle pack there doesn’t appear to be an option, I assume if you order that combo the checkout will automatically adjust the price down to the £800?

This was on our list originally as one to do and nearly made it to the final cut but on closer inspection it has different buffers at one end which we aren't catering for, in this run at least.

Robin Gristwood Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Just to update, the information on the website does not seem to be the latest. In the last information regarding the Sharks, Sealions and Seacows, the Easter Newsletter No.63 from Ellis Clark stated: "We’ve always recognized the importance of workaday prototypes to railway modellers, and this project perfectly complements our Presflos and Wickham trolleys in that vein. Set back slightly by delays to the Black 5, the first (undecorated) samples are due in August, with initial deliveries due in the second quarter of 2025." So although the website still says Q1/2 2024, these are further delayed it seems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Clark Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Afternoon everyone, Very sorry for the radio silence. Unfortunately, we have had to push delivery pack until 2025. To be honest, due to the delays on the Black 5 this had a knock-on effect to this project. We should have samples to show in a few months though and I'm sure they won't disappoint :). All the best, Ellis. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
