Mr_Tilt Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wow............... Couldn't see the sandwich doorstop though. They scan past a tad too quickly to see it, but it's there for sure. They've got the colours and the 'look' of my bit spot on, I'm seriously impressed. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of IKB Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Time to pay the balance I think. Can't wait to get it converted to EM, so it can travel all 8 ft of my railway (but not at 152 mph!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

campaigner Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have to admit to being a bit more than p155ed off with the people at "Locomotion". I contacted them a couple of weeks ago to ask if there were any cancelled orders, they quickly replied to inform me that there was. Yippee thinks me, however after sending further emails as I would like to pay for one to make sure I get one, I cannot get any reply from them, I also rang but to no avail. To ignore customers is not just bad, it's also very rude! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ely_South Posted March 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have to admit to being a bit more than p155ed off with the people at "Locomotion".

Yippee thinks me, however after sending further emails as I would like to pay for one to make sure I get one, I cannot get any reply from them, I also rang but to no avail. To ignore customers is not just bad, it's also very rude! Do bear with them. They're a tiny outfit. They spent their weekend in Glasgow rather than at home, and Sandra was posting on here at 10:30 last night.... I sense they're busy. I appreciate the frustration of being so close but not certain of getting one of these, but it's my experience that Sandra is also very efficient - My suspicion is that your name is against one, but you don't yet know that. I've been saying for a while that there will be some spares available. I have no association with Locomotion; I simply use cold hard maths to tell me. With at least 1000 people on a wait-list for a year and a death rate of around 1%, the law of averages suggests that ten people have sadly died waiting. So it could be worse... By the way - Post 1630 has her mobile number.....:-) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocomotionatShildon Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The lights don’t seem to be flashing either. Is that a good sign? We had a controller that didn't have many functions on (basically we didn't know how to use it either - hence the horn at the beginning of the video!)

GRUNFOS Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 When will we be contacted to pay the final balance payment please? I went to the locomotion APTe web page and paid. Not sure if reminders are being sent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocomotionatShildon Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 When will we be contacted to pay the final balance payment please? I am waiting for a definite docking/ landing date. It is just weeks away now but until I know for sure I am hanging back before sending out reminders, just in case. If you want to pay the balance now that would be brilliant and a help for me but there is no need to just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish1068 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I emailed Locomotion models a couple of days ago to ask if they had an updated delivery schedule for the DCC ready version but as yet no reply, I did see the finished article at Modelrail Scotland last week and it looks very impressive, I ordered the DCC version but I'm not sorry I never ordered the sound one even although I have a DCC layout because it was out of my price range so it was either the DCC ready version or I'd have to go without. I paid the £175 balance last Monday and although I stay in Scotland I'll drive to locomotion and pick it up, make a day of it and look around the museum.

And you could compare the model with the real thing right behind you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles2 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QegCvvVqao I know its not moving...... I know its on train set curves and I don't like to find fault but has anyone else noticed the large gaps between the coaches/power cars and the articulated joining segments? Certainly big enough for scale passengers if there had been any or technicians to fall out of and highlighted by the lights enabling a view through the gap into the interior. Maybe not so noticeable if viewed from the inside of the curves as on my own layout, but this is not something I have noticed before in previous photos and videos of the model.

Maybe not so noticeable if viewed from the inside of the curves as on my own layout, but this is not something I have noticed before in previous photos and videos of the model. If you watch the video made at the Scan Party, it was well documented about how "Wide" it'd open up on curves, using a close coupling system and tilt.

Part of the problem (don’t mention it to Jason or he’ll bend your ears for an hour) is the second radius curves it has been bulit to negotiate. Given that the fairings are solid, I don’t know how else it could have been done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
