Guest Max Stafford Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 According to the site, they use Fedex at a flat rate of £8, but for lighter orders they'll use RM at lower cost. I imagine these fall into the latter - unless you've ordered a crate of the things! Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I was asking -if they are going to charge £8 for one I might as well drive to them as it will be fair chunk of the petrol costs.

Guest Max Stafford Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Mine arrived via special Delivery this morning. Whilst I lack specialist knowledge of these vehicles, first impressions are very positive; bodywork crisply moulded with separate handrails and water pipes. Underframe is nice too, with decent springs and axleboxes. Steps, battery box, vac cylinder and actuator all nicely done. Separately fitted brake trussing is also supplied as are scale couplings, vac and steam pipes. Seeing as these are long-wheelbase vehicles, I was pleasantly surprised to see a continental-style articulated close-coupling system fitted underneath. This seems like a very nice model indeed although I'm sure somebody will be along shortly to put me in my benighted place! Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_uk Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I pre-ordered one in May but haven't had any communication from them yet how long should I leave it before contacting them, or just ordering it from their website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petee19 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) My SR two pack arrived yesterday and these were ordered when they were first announced ( can't remember when that was).They really are nice models and look good running with the recent Hornby Horseboxes The TMC Birdseye conflat set that I ordered came about 2 weeks after it first appeared on this site that they had been released. Maybe TMC despatch the orders in rotation of customers placing their order with them.

RMweb Premium 31A Posted October 3, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2012 A quick snap taken with my mobile: Mine arrived with Saturday morning's post; no idea when I ordered it (in fact, I was beginning to wonder whether I had!). I particularly like the frosted glass lavatory window, complete with 'peep holes' either side of the ventilator. The ventilators on the roof are very neat, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted October 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2012 You could start here. http://www.themodelc...z/prod_668.html Bernard That looks like the pre-production images TMC has had up on its website for ages... I'm still waiting too - my credit card expired at the end of September so i phoned to update my details. They said no thanks, wait until we call. It seems that's easier for them than trying to find an individual order they haven't yet reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Noticed that despite the comments on the web page they have set up on-line ordering through the web site with P&P from £4.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70E Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Have got two lovely SR ones and two bags of detailing bits. Could someone advise or place a picture showing where the relevant fittings go? Have two Pill box brake vans with similar bags and same scenario Would it be too much trouble for Bachmann to include an illustrated instruction with these fine models.
