Baggie

So, literally almost a year delay then...

My Viridian version just arrived Down Under from Rainbow Railways. A very tidy model, glad I purchased. Strangely the smart outer card box is perfect, but the inner plastic tray is broken, two horns loose in the wrapper and the fitted coupling is snapped clean off. Doesn't really feel that the model could rattle around within tray and the outer box, so maybe a problem at the factory?

DCC Sound 37027 is as rare as hens teeth for us down under. I cannot find anyone willing to send one overseas...

These are awesome. Having seen your photos I've put an order in for some myself, plus a heap of other items. Just wondering when you put your order in? I placed an order last Sunday and have only received an automated email in return...

I've been expecting the 'We're sorry for the continued delay' email only to realise that I never bothered preordering my two cranes. Has anyone counted up how many cranes weren't preordered in this thread alone?

Hi Wayne, You may wish to mention where in the world you are to try and find someone local to you. Jon

In another part of the world, UK to Australia is usually two weeks. Still waiting on a parcel from the UK, six week and counting. Having said that, a parcel from Melbourne to 90mins down the road took three weeks....

Crikey! This could have been announced at the start of April!

APT by Dec 2020! Wow!

Just heard from Lloyds Debit Card Disputes that they are refunding my 6 car APT deposit of £162.49. Can't thank you all enough for your assistance in recovering this money that I had presumed lost. Cheers Jon

Hello, I paid my deposit for the APT using my Lloyds Visa Debit card, which I had written off long ago. But last night I spent about an hour on the Lloyds Bank contact us messenger service via the banking app, and they have come to the conclusion that I can now dispute the payment. I'm not getting my hope up, but if you don't ask... They said: The last things I need to advise you of, with regard to this dispute, are: Disputes email - DebitCardDisputes@lloydsbanking.com (where you will send evidence) You disputes ref - X-XXXXXXX You have 14 days to submit the evidence to us. It takes us 5 working days to review evidence once it is received. If further information is required, we'll be in touch Following the investigation, if we are able to pay a refund it will be paid directly into your account Ensure you add the above disputes reference to the "subject line" of any email you send us. EVIDENCE NEEDED: covering letter detailing the circumstances of the purchase and the reason for the dispute AND Copies of any documentation that evidence their contact with the retailer, including any invoices. AND An email from the retailer OR A screenshot from the retailer's website OR Details from the Insolvency service.

I'm tipping another Class 37 to the long list. D6700/37350 to coincide with next years 60th Anniversary. Maybe.

I quite like there being no updates on this page as there isn't anyone moaning...

Totally agree. To be honest that would have the reason for me to purchase.

I'm hoping that with some gentle persuasion the IT guy will do the right thing and hand over the files and passwords. It sounds like it's all ready to go and it's not like he can sell the product elsewhere. Fingers crossed for you Dave
