Another DCC sound version arrived. Left outside my back door by UPS but luckily, as I'm away at the moment, was spotted by my vigilant neighbour who has taken it in for safe keeping - phew! He's not into trains so there's no danger of him playing with it before I get back home. Just can't wait now to get back so I can start playing trains.

Apologies for the late reply, I've not had chance to check this forum for the last 24 hours and many thanks for the offer to contact you whilst you are at home, that's most kind, however, I couldn't possibly do that. I would imagine you've had enough phone calls, emails, etc. during the day without having to fend off more customer queries in the evening.

I know I shouldn't be critical as Locomotion Models has a small team with a mammoth task on their hands however the order in which the models are being dispatched does seem a bit random. The latest newsletter from Locomotion states that paid for DCC sound versions will be dispatched first followed by the DCC ready versions. I paid for my sound fitted version weeks ago (I never received an email asking me to pay but decided I should as other people were saying that they had received emails and therefore paid) which hasn't yet arrived yet people on here are taking delivery of their DCC ready versions. Also, I'm rather concerned that these are turning up on peoples doorstep by surprise with no pre warning by the courier company or the ability to track. I'm away for a couple of weeks from this weekend and no doubt it will arrive early next. UPS will then try and re delver it 3 times (which means it will be unloaded and reloaded onto vans 3 times - more opportunity for it to get damaged) before finally storing it in their warehouse or even returning back to the sender!

He's changed the picture now - perhaps he read your post!

Surely your photo belongs in this thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55259-models-can-look-just-like-the-real-thing/page-12 that loco is far too clean to be real!!

Disappointed there’s no Anglia turquoise liveried DBSO. Hopefully they’ll produce one at some point.
