Hancockshire Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've just bought a Hornby class 29 with the intention of converting it to a class 21. However, when ordering the parts from MG-sharp, I found that they've gone into liquidation. Where can I get the parts because Howes doesn't stock them or is there some form of guide to do the conversion with plastikard because this is peeing me off big time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hancockshire Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've just never done it before & therefore have no idea how secure it is. I know I'm desperate for parts but not desperate enough to get my cash nicked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It's more secure than done over the internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnylinny Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 what is the problem with useing your card over the phone? i have been doing it for years no problem at all. they see your details what ever way you use it. Actually, working in a shop which takes orders online, we don't see the customer's bank details at all. We get a web page where we enter the amount of cash to charge, and each time the bank checks to make sure it's not a fraudulent transaction. We aren't able to charge more than the customer originally permits (which often frustrates customers who "only want to add a little tin of paint" to an order); we just can't do it. It's all set up to stop us from getting access to your money. Well, more than you're prepared to give us, anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crompton 33 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 you could send a cheque like the good old day's . when we did not have credit cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hancockshire Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 It's direct debit, that's why I'm being more careful. Plus, seeing as I'm only 18, I haven't the luxury of a cheque book Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 ... Plus, seeing as I'm only 18, I haven't the luxury of a cheque book Cannot resist adding that when I was 18, I had the 'luxury' of a cheque book, but of course no money, because I had to make a student grant budget and whatever holiday earnings I could scrape together stretch to cover my living expenses. Missed out on several very desireable items at the time for this reason. There is no new thing under the sun. Back on subject, since then, over thirty years of using my credit card over the phone for 'everything' at least twice monthly has not resulted in one single loss. A regular bricks and mortar retailer is safe because there can be no doubt about who is responsible, unlike the interfraudinet where transparency is absent...
