Par-nana included for scale.

It's a shame they will just miss Summat Colliery's appearance at the Mansfield Show 1st weekend in March

Good morning Andy,

 

I assume that these wagons are now due Q2/24, as per the other Rapido RCH 7-plank opens (Rapido delivery schedule)?

 

TIA.

 

Cheers, Nigel.

[RapidoCorbs]

Yes, they are in the same shipment.

Scale nanas were 'a thing' way before the DMC but you got the reference. 👍

[GMKAT7]

Good morning Corbs,

 

Thanks very much for the confirmation.

 

Cheers, Nigel.

Had an email today advising these are very close to being sent out to customers.

They are and, thanks to Rapido, will be sent directly to customers. It'll take a time to work through due to other direct and trade orders so anyone asking 'Where's mine?' will get a penalty applied bumping them down the order. 😁

Does the same apply if I ask where everyone else’s is to bump mine up?  😇

. . .

 

 

 

No? Oh well it’s good job I’m focused on the O16.5 🤣

[Covkid]

Does anyone know which parcel company is being used please ?

 

I have received a dodgy looking text message from Evri saying my address is incomplete and my parcel is being held at the depot. Can't believe it would be from Rapido

It isn’t that’s a common scam email.

J rather thought it might.

Thanks Paul 

[franciswilliamwebb]

Definitely a scam. Evri don’t use addresses😜

[Zunnan]

Incomplete address doesn’t stop them from dumping it on some random doorstep and emailing you a picture of where it was left in the middle of the night!

I'm absolutely delighted how these have turned out seeing them all in the flesh; thanks to @rapidoandy and @RapidoCorbs for the cracking job - just how I envisaged them being when doing the artwork.

 

To give customers an update on the fulfillment we have had system and resource issues to contend with at our end which has meant more work on the shipping information than we had anticipated at our end to provide the correct permutations to Rapido for them to send the wagons to you directly. We hope that those issues will be overcome in the next week and then I'm sure Rapido will be their usual efficient selves in getting them out of the door; we'll keep you updated.

 

In the interim, and because of the processing, we have established that there are only between 2 and 4 of the following wagons left if you want to make any last minute purchases or additions to your order; the others and the combo packs are now sold out.

 

Anyway; hope you enjoy them when they get to you.

 

 

 

[Covkid]

Oh my Andy and Andy !!!

 

Apart from the Rapido 16", I have the perfect diesels for these in the shape of the Bagnall courtesy of James Hilton, and the Janus from Oxford Rail.

 

Can't wait for my delivery !!   

 

 

[Covkid]

Woohoo.

Five pristine NCB liveried RCHs delivered this morning. A really useful blank canvas for dirtyfying.

 

Thanks again Rapido UK and World of Railways 

[GMKAT7]

Good morning folks,

 

Just like Covkid, my three arrived safely and unexpectedly this morning with the post.

 

35, 64 and 108 also ready for weathering and will keep 1509 company on my shunting plank. As another ex-Coventry kid it only seems proper 😁

 

Good job from both Andys and Corbs.

 

Cheers, Nigel.

Pack of No. 35 and 64 arrived yesterday and pack of 23, 71, 85 and 108 just arrived courtesy of Royal Mail.

 

Now got to find all the other NCB black wagons I've hidden away.......

[Roy Langridge]

23, 71, 85 and 108 just arrived here and looking good. Will unpack them and run them later.
