Thanks - just rang & ordered one with Arcadia - lovely people to talk to and a very keen price on the model.

Any retailers on here still have a DRS one in stock? Have a Colas & Anglia on order & somehow missed the DRS one. Ta

Mine are both here. Left outside by UPS. Got to go back out to work so will have to wait til later....

Just placed another order with Colletts Models (via his website). Can't praise Leigh Collett enough - ultra friendly. Always matches the box shifters on price. He's my go to model shop now. Support a small independent if you can peeps.

Scottystitch - I did not say I need or want to make a profit. I pointed out the perception of being a profiteer to cover the costs of buying & reselling to help the project. I could resell on here but is there any member who doesn't know of the project, or on any of the other forums? Surely they will have ordered their own?

So here's the dilema. Do I, don't I? Do I model N? No. (Don't really like it to be honest but don't tell). Do I like Pendo's? No. (Never taken much notice of them in the flesh) Do I want to support this project? YES! There's clearly a desire for the Pendo to be produced & if Rapido are doing it then it will be first class. And if Biff is doing the sound for those that do it will be stonking - my Biff OO Class 60 is by far the best sound loco I have seen yet. So I pledge for 4 9 car sets. 1 gets kept as I'm a collector. 3 get sold on. A nine car set is £255 if purchased now. I stick it on ebay at £300. Suddenly I become one of those greedy profiteers? ebay & paypal take 13.4% so the profit is actually under £5.And I've had to pay shipping to me for the sets so the profit is about, erm, zero. How does that go down with the folks on here? Or do I just buy a set for myself & pop it in the cupboard?

Ordered 2 sound fitted 10 days ago & not had my numbers yet!

Anyone know who is putting the sound file together & programming the chip? Do rapido do this in house themselves or is it one of the established UK specialists?
