Update on the Hunslet

 

 

Important information!

We've been receiving a lot of emails from you asking for updates on our Scunthorpe Hunslet Bo-Bo models. It is amazing to see the excitement for this model.

 

We are grateful for the assistance of the Appleby Frodingham Railway at Scunthorpe in making this model accurate and giving us access to the real locomotives and to the information that they hold.

 

However, please note:

 

The preservation group at Scunthorpe don't have information on the progress of this model and have asked us to remind you that queries should only be directed to Mike Revell who will be able to answer your questions.

Update On Delivery Schedule

Making a ready to run model is a complex and detailed process. Any model contains a huge number of individual precision parts that need to be assembled together at our main Chinese factory.

 

These parts may in turn be drawn from a number of outside suppliers, and the process of ensuring that all the parts are together at the factory at the same time to allow assembly to happen is quite a feat of organisation! Some of the parts factories themselves, rely on parts to be delivered to make the parts that they are supplying to our Chinese manufacturer.

 

To be honest, it could often be described as a cross between a complex acrobatic display, and herding cats.

 

We have been made aware that a delay has crept in with supplying some of the parts, and this has resulted in a delay in production. As a result, delivery of the Scunthorpe Hunslet Bo-Bo locomotives has slipped from the dates we were quoting at the Great Electric Train Show. We apologise for this, and hope that you understand that this is out of our control.

 

We know that our Chinese factory are doing their utmost best, so we hope this will not add too much extra time until delivery. Any updated delivery dates will be sent out via our social media channels.
