And sitting on the top one. They're not allowed into the railway room though so the railmotor should be safe. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted January 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16 There have been photos on Facebook but nothing here, unusually. Maybe the Facebook collectors were quicker to order than us. 😉 I received a, "Your order has been shipped", email from Kernow MRC yesterday and I too am patiently waiting... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 We've had two of them on the GWR Modellers page on Facebook but nothing more atm. To be honest though I'm in no rush for 97 to come through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 16 Just ordered a Dapol trailer from Kernow to go with the railmotor, which should arrive soonish. I had some credit so it cut the price a bit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted January 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17 (edited) So near and yet so far... 😞 My Railmotor was out for delivery today but the cr*ppy final stage "logistics company" (man in van) couldn't find me, even though it turned out when I rang them that he was within about 30 yards at one point. The problem with handing off deliveries to these small companies is that they don't have the big databases of the national couriers who know where I live. Grrr... It will be out again tomorrow with detailed instructions on how to get here - assuming the young lady I talked to wrote them down correctly. (She said, "Hold on a moment, I'll find a pen" and then said "Left" when I told her "Right", so I don't have great confidence). Hope you all have better couriers where you live!

Do we know whether date order means the order in which the original orders were placed or is it the order in which the re-orders and payments were placed about a year ago?

Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted January 18 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted January 18 There's an awful lot to like and love about this model. Hidden in there is something you may not have seen before; the motor is cunningly encased in a representation of the vertical boiler. VID_20240117_145508.mp4 The running characteristics are superb; as stable on my hyper-sensitive rolling road as anything that's been on there and strong enough to have a tail load of 10 Mk1s. 😐 Muz knows the one bit I'd change. 37 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That motion is mesmerizing. Buffers look a bit at odd angles, is that the camera angle. Looking forward to seeing more pictures and films in due course to help me decide which sound one to get. Current favourite is the all brown version. Thanks for showing us this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have done with rotating the sprung buffers a little for the pic. I've had a play with the sound and you'd definitely want to plump for it; the adaptability of some aspects of it are astonishing - announcements to match your destination boards! 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
