I have emailed IRM twice, roughly six and three weeks ago, and been given reassurance that they would eventually be dispatched, but the order on my account still shows ‘unfulfilled’. I was planning to email them again, but is there anything else I should be trying? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevor7598 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 My sincere thanks to Accurascale Fran & Simon for the repairs to my accidentally damaged banana van. It's great to know that Accurascale's quality extends beyond their superb models. Many thanks once again. Trevor7598. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) I also ordered from IRM and mine were dispatched today. Apparently getting across the Irish channel is harder than the French/English one. Not IRM's fault of course, but I did like the idea of buying directly from them in Euros. Edited May 7 by JSpencer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Presumably you ordered them from Accurascale UK? So they had to go through Spanish Customs to be delivered to you? Personally I prefer to have to wait and not have the hassle of Portuguese Customs, but clearly this has been a problem for Accurascale as the shipp8ng from Ireland option is longer available for British (rather than Irish) outline Accurascale models. I’ve ordered two Mk2Cs from Accurascale UK so am waiting to see how customs clearance works. If it’s a pain I will probably revert to buying from my preferred retailers in the UK or ModelBahn Union in Germany. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Top Banana's in France. I went for the mixed box set to supplement existing vans on my BR stock (or run smaller trains). I did the honor of leaving out the old Dapol BR Banana van type but mixed them with Bachmann ex SR types and other BR types. Here they are placed next to the loco for a bit of steam heat... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also very pleased with my 3 + 3 and will be retiring a number of Dapol ones they were bought to replace. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
