Slightly off topic for the moment, but i know the feeling...I lost a camera to a not so glamerous Ex Fastline IIA-A bogie coal hopper during shunting last summer...Wasn't best pleased considering the delivery of rolling stock into the yard at the time!

Southernman46 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 There aren't any oo scale ones left now. Yup - none left - spent all day trying to find one without luck - at least 3 branches have said that people had multiple ordered - so it seems our friend who did the postal coaches may be at work again !

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 29, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2011 And already on ebay at a highly inflated price http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43aaaa8567 Profiteering money grabbing EBayers really get my blood boiling. It looks like this one was listed moments after being bought from Modelzone judging by the fact it was listed via the Mobile Ebay app and the picture looks like it was taken on a camera phone. There must be plenty around somewhere, I cannot believe every single one of 512 have already been bought up with the shop examples falling prey to multiple buyers. How many at a go were some of these multiple buyers snapping up I wonder?

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 29, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2011 Seeing that there appears to be a bloody Ebay profiteer hovering up everything in sight I have decided to take your advice and pre-order the 47!!! Would have liked one of the 24's if I wandered into a ModelZone and they had one but it looks like they have been well and truly moped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 None to be seen in my local branch and as the advert for them had disappeared I assume they have been and gone. On the otherhand they still have a NSE 03 in the display case, despite it vanishing off the website, and a blue/grey TPO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david12345 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Even although I'm sitting here with the fully paid receipt in my lap, I still have a sense of impending hassle................................ Picked mine up without any hassle. However I was told that only 2 out of the expected 6 the shop was expecting had came in. So it seems to be first come first served even on pre orders. The other 4 will be in later. So I think it's worth chasing your order up if you've ot heard by tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Cheese Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Getting itchy feet Not heard out yet about my order has anyone who ordered online heard anything yet? Thanks, Simon The Signal Box seem to be an online avenue for these and have just received a delivery. With over 100 preorders to process folk should be hearing from them in the next few days.

gribble Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I popped into the Holborn branch today to ask if they were in yet. The helpful chap behind the counter advised they were due into stock later in the week, possibly Thursday, so it seems some branches are getting them earlier than others. *gribble* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted November 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2011 The Signal Box seem to be an online avenue for these and have just received a delivery. With over 100 preorders to process folk should be hearing from them in the next few days. Don't panic yet! Just checked my credit card account and see that I've been charged with the sum of £75.99 so one of the 100 preorders mentioned above is being processed . As mentioned before I've been using The Signal Box website online for all ModelZone Limited Editions after one of the Modelzone branches up north misplaced one of my orders. Online orders from The Signal Box get an e:mail confirmation and, so far, I've not been let down. When I recently impulse bought the LMR diesel shunter at Modelzone Holborn the very helpful guy behind the counter asked if I had preordered the model. Said that I hadn't and mentioned that I normally use The Signal Box for my preorders - he seemed a bit disappointed that I had not preordered through them but after chatting did say that the Modelzone branch preorder system could be better.... My advice, therefore, is that if you really want a Modelzone Limited Edition, preorder it through The Signal Box website. Payment is only taken when the model arrives in stock and is being processed.

Butler Henderson Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Not showing on website. The website does not show individual store stock - only if its available on line, and if not by implication there is stock in one of the stores (wonder which one has a Lab 23...)

97403_Ixion Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi all, here are just a few photos of the 'new' 97201 (Bachmann/Modelzone 32-425X). It claims to be 21 pin DCC on the box and presumably has lights. I hope all that want one get one. If you would like other photos, just reply here... I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Ixion. 32-425X Left Iso View: 32-425X Right Iso View: 32-425X Side View: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
