January update is that they are due Q3 this year.

 

https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/pg/144/KMRC-Locomotive---GWR-Steam-Railmotor

 

The update says "...available by Q3..." so hopefully June(ish) sometime....

 

"Project update –  January 2023
Production is underway, following the latest update from the factory and taking into account shipping timescales,  the models should be available by Q3 this year. "

Delayed gratification indeed !  
 

Apart from confirming Q3 arrival  KMC news update includes the helpful information that the sound decoder happily works to a basic level under DC.  
 

I’ve just upgraded my Accurascale Manor order to sound fitted for the same reason , to future proof what will probably be my last locomotive investment and I might be tempted to embrace DCC on my next (downsize)  layout

I had a similar email, and phoned Kernow as I have no current orders  with them. The very helpful chap apologised and said that something had gone wrong and a large number of emails had been sent out in error (note that the consignment ref is "ignore email"), and should be  disregarded.

Yes apparently there was a glitch in the system, the reasons only the back office provider will know... causing the shipping email error. 
The railmotors are still in production at the moment. 
 

Sorry about that, we can't even blame any of the staff or the shop cat if we had one.

What happened to the standard KMRC response of.....it's Simon's fault....? 😀

It's been a while since we have heard anything... Kernow? Rapido and Accurascale have set a high bar with their nice updates... Maybe you could drip feed something?


Maybe @Graham_Muz might be the man to ask 😎

I am currently on holiday and will request an update from the factory when I return, however as far as I am aware there is no change from our last update, and pointless "no further news updates" are not really updates.

Given we're only 4 days into Q3 and this thread started 9 years ago, I'm more than happy to wait till the last day of Q3 if necessary and let them arrive when they arrive. 😀

Ah yes, 2014 ... If only we'd known what the future had in store!

People also said that about 1914!

Although then, of course, we were going into Europe!

 

So then, back to the Railmotor and its Edwardian glamour 😎
