    Just ordered a Trans Pennine TSO and NSE FK after reading your post. Can be costly late at night!!!

    I had to ask for an invoice as I had paid the deposit in a mixed order that contained CL37's back in 2020. Contacted via the chat on the website and they sent me an invoice which I duly paid. Did not receive a request in the summer and that is why some people may be in the same situation.

    Ordered a pack at 1050 in the Black Friday sale and DHL have just knocked on my door at 0900 on a Saturday. Especially with free P&P! Well done.

    Likewise in Oxfordshire. Excellent outcome after the original error. Well done and thank you.

    Instead of buying 62 lottery tickets I went for the Cemex 66. Works perfectly so no lucky dip! The livery is one of the best and thought it a good time to beat the rush due to the news of the chopped HYA's earlier in the week.

    Mine arrived in a small packed from Hattons and without requesting them. On another matter, I have received 6 different 66's and not had any issues. Should I do the lottery next week?

    The iron ore trains used to go through Lanchester. I was born there and can remember the trundle up to Consett.

    Very useful info. Would be nice if they could 'knock up' 9 56 ton ore carriers as well to go with my SW Class 24's!

    The ore trains did go through Lanchester. I was born at 5 Croft View which overlooked the northern exit of the station near the railway bridge that crossed Newbiggin Lane.

    I am drowning in froth......so here is a new one to perhaps increase the salivating! I would really appreciate some 56 ton iron ore hoppers for the trip from Tyne Dock to Consett. Yes I know there are some good metals kits but for me too difficult! Oh and can they be weathered?

    Parcel Force have been busy! I paid my outstanding balance on 6th Dec and they arrived today. Sometimes good things are worth waiting for!

    Well this is my first time at having a wish, you never know it might come true....how about MXA Lobster Box? See quite a few in Hinksey Yard in Oxford.

    On the site at noon, vanished by 1210? Look good!

    Likewise, still available on Saturday evening on website so ordered one!

    I had never heard of DERAILS before but due to Bachmann's 'new idea' of producing limited editions for model shops they now have a happy customer who will return. Good prices for their wares.

    New OO gauge Class 73

    metman replied to 33212's topic in Dapol

    Just a bit fed up with all the negative reporting, yes there are issues, but I am happy with my purchase and will most likely buy another one.

    Received GBRF 73206 from Invicta models today. Run in on DC as in manufactures instructions, Superb slow speed operation and excellent livery. Did the same with 73105 (BR Blue with large logo) with the same results. No issues and happy with the product.....any questions!!!!

    Consett May 1964......of note as well the brake tender behind the next steam train......went out and bought a weathered version from TMC due to this picture!

    My ill fated order was placed at 0158 Z Thu 11 December and did not leave Hattons until 1032 Z Sun 14 December 2014 so ordering in the morning perhaps does not hold with this. In addition, although the festive period quite a long time to process the order ( Class 128 and a few wagons so not a large parcel). The more I ponder the more annoyed I am becoming. However, will not spoil my Christmas as there WILL be a parcel arriving in the New Year! Thank you all as well for your supportive and informative messages.
