Mine also arrived today from Faversham. It is currently sitting on the rollers being run in on DC, before any thought of fitting a decoder.
I found one rather odd fault on mine. One of the brake shoe links was hanging a bit low. On closer inspection, the factory has fitted two left-hand shoes to the bar, where there should be one left and one right. Rather than send the whole model back, after ascertaining it ran as it should, I decided to do a little hacking. I carefully removed the brake assembly and twisted the offending shoe off its spigot, drilled it out slightly to clear the glue out, then reversed it and superglued it back again. While the detail is really on the wrong side, it barely shows and won't in normal service anyway.
I will contact Dapol and the Hobby Shop and let them know of the error, with the hope that they may be able to supply the correct bits. If they can't (or won't) then it's not an obvious fudge.
As for the blue, I think it looks OK on this livery variant.
One other comment I will make (favourable, this time!) is that the framework behind the centre grilles is nicely done. It doesn't seem to show up in most of the photos shown so far, but it is there.
Sorry to hear this. If you could let us have a picture of the faulty part we can send one to you. (Pls also advise your order number)

FAV002 ordered here though I don't see any VAT deduction for a non-EU customer.
In our T&Cs there is mention of the necessary discount code to use at checkout to have VAT removed - if not used we will deduct the VAT when we process your order.

OK, got it now. I was clicking on the FAV001 model rather than the FAV002 with the grey stripe (much preferred anyway!). Thanks for that.
Thank you for letting us know. We DO have stock of E6047 too - the website had an issue!

I actually clicked "buy" on their site but the cart reported there were none in stock. I'm not sure if that's a problem with their on-line shop or they really have sold them out already.
We definitely have stock and the website is working properly at our end... There shouldn't be any problems purchasing

We've had "Concrete Bob" in for just under a week now. Pre-orders have been dispatched and the remaining stock is getting low. Should you want one (we have both DC and DCC Sound versions) we'd advise getting in touch fairly soon.
