Paying £425 last Monday... Grrr.

First time I've used Tower Models for many a year - ordered 2 hard to come by wagons yesterday, delivered today. Very good service & pleasant to talk to on the phone too. Highly recommend!

Message sent.

Any ideas on supplier for OO Laser cut Box Profile Cladding please? Need something pretty rigid for a fair sized Exhibition Hall/shed model that is probably going to get poked & prodded & manhandled so was hoping for MDF or Ply. Thanks.

Definitely still there - walked past yesterday and there appeared to be someone in the shop. Several signs in the window stating the shop is closed but still trading on ebay.

Colletts Models have the cranes at a tad more - £193.50.

If anyone is interested - the Station Masters Rooms also have a few of these available at £495 each - showing as used but I suspect they are new due to the quantity available & recent release of the model.

Signed off and may be in production - again end of november Ben posted this info.

I'm currently waiting on a refund having purchased 2 wagons (showing 7 in stock at the time of purchase) & then 5 days later get an email to say out of stock. I was dubious buying from them to start with having read a review or 2 - certainly wont be going back.

Bloody hell that's good!

MBNA have put a credit on my account subject to DJ Models not contesting my claim in the next 45 days!

Tried a PayPal 180 day refund before and PayPal told me it was just a gimmick and they rarely payout.... However - PayPal payments are (or definitely used to be) classed as a direct debit by the bank and I have claimed back a PayPal payment under the Direct Debit guarantee. May be worth persuing. I paid deposits for 2 so hoping my credit card co. dont give me too much grief.

A box from Ireland arrived just as i was leaving for work. Only had time for a quick glance at one but it looks mighty fine!

They Look superb. I'll be getting my wallet out in the morning for a full rake of 8.
