Great Western Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 City of Bangor for me I assume if this one isn't one for the selected numbers, do I get a pick of the selected ones ? Likes others have said I'm just happy to have a 390 at the amazing price we're paying ! Great Western Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 2, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi GW, I suspect that as the month progresses we'll probably keep an eye on the voting (I am rooting for 390006 Tate Liverpool, after a fun family visit there earlier this year) and, if our own personal choice is clearly not likely to be selected, switch votes to the "next best thing." It may be that such tactical voting makes a difference in the closing stages. Anyone who hasn't pre-selected one of the successful numbersets before the deadline will then just be invited to select the successful one of their choice. cheers Ben A.

Hi Ben I assume those of us that have ordered the Poppy Pendolino don't need to do anything. Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 2, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi Paul, Yes, those who've ordered the Poppy have no need to vote! cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucazone Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 My vote is in - 390153 Mission Accomplished Thanks for giving me a choice. Btw, I think the vote chart has broken viewing compatibility for phones. I can only see upto 390130 on my iPhone5 with no ability to scroll or zoom.

Padishar Creel Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi, nice to see that the backers are getting the opportunity to select the names (did mine yesterday). I think the rules are fair as there must be a line drawn somewhere and anyway there will be modellers out there who will re-number re-name their sets I am sure Two questions: If I were to change my choice of name later is there an edit function? I only saw the chance to add, and a note to ask people not to vote for more than the number of sets involved. Also once the choice of names are reduced to the top "X" are the backers guaranteed their choice of name - even if that means (for example) 400 people order name A and for arguments sake only 2 order name "B"? es grüßt pc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted May 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi PC In theory there is an edit function, but I am not sure how well it works (my suspicion is not so well!). If anyone wants to change their vote nearer to the end of the month then they can drop me a line and I can edit things manually. I think that we would have to take a pragmatic decision in the scenario that you suggest - the 400 people who ask for name A would definitely get that set (we will set no upper limit on a particular set), for those who pick a less popular name (but still one of the top 9) we will look at the figures and talk to Rapido about what is practical.

37038 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Although I haven't ordered one (not got a big enough layout yet!), would a possible solution to the "They haven't produced the name / number I wanted" problem be to offer an un-named / un-numbered version?

Stu from EGDL Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Gang, Ooh...exciting.... Barring the RBL Poppy Pendolino and the Alsthom version way out in front, my 3rd choice is 9th equal......hopefully it will make the cut!!! Later, Stu from EGDL.

acko22 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 HI Guys, Just had a look at the charts and well there is a spread and a half but one thing has hit me!! While I haven't ordered it yet I will be getting a 5 car unit to go with my 11 car but what are the options number wise for them?? Are you stuck with 9 car set numbers or is it open to either?? Regards Gareth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted May 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi Gareth We are letting the 5-car set people vote for any number as the 5-car set will almost certainly be one of the other numbers selected (unless there are lots of 5-car sets sold suddenly).

m0rris Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hvae to say I am surprised at the lack of interest in the Virgin ambassador livery, having seen it in the flesh I think it looks wonderful but it doesn't seem to be attracting much attention, but thanks guys for letting me have the chance to try and get my favorite liveries on my models!

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted May 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hi m0rris I agree - I thought it would be higher as well. It is still in joint 8th place so has a chance of being produced. I've been surprised that the Alstom livery has been so much more popular than the Virgin Ambassador "Business is great" livery.

lucazone Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Im surprised at the popularity of Penny the Pendolino! Looks like I'll need to choose a different set number as Mission Accomplished has fallen behind. Did you say to wait til the voting ends to change my choice?

I would wait until the end of the month so that you can either help another over the line or just choose the replacement one from the winners. That's what I'm going to do anyway.

Guest eddie reffin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just ordered 2 9car sets and plumped for Tate Liverpool and 101 Squadron. Really looking forward to to this project developing as I've made a start on plans for my new WCML layout after selling Rockfield Road to the Inverness MRC a couple of years back. Rejoined the N gauge society today as well! Planning some of there lovely kits to make over the coming months. Suppose I had better go and get ready to play with the 1:1 railway now. Wee trip to Ardgay with a 158 beckons! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
