Kernow O2

Please excuse me if this post is slightly off-topic, but a group of LSWR modellers seemed just the place to ask; I model the LSWR in eatly Grouping days, and wondered if any of your ardent pre-grouping LSWR modellers had bought a Kernow O2 in 'Southern' livery, and were now thinking of disposing of it? If so, could you please send me a private message (PM)? I apoear to have missed-out on this version.

Many Thanks,

Andrew

Try E Bay, but they’re rare and go quickly

Apart from eBay, which is sanctioned and not available here....

Dear All,

Does anyone know where I can obtain a Beattie Well Tank with square splashes? Another model I have missed-out on.

Kindest,

Andrew

Dear All,

Last year I gave away two unbuilt Slaters NER Birdcage Brakes in 4mm scale, and now regret it deeply. Does anyone have any they can sell me please?

Just to mention, I am the latest victim of this man Paul Dunn's ongoing scam. He took money from me for models he admits he neither has nor can produce, and will not refund it. I have spoken to him in person, and he is quite blatent. His phone number is 01823 461961.

Thank you for the information, Gentlemen. A sad state of affairs.

Andrew

Dear All,

I am reluctantly forced to commence a civil action for recovery of monies from Cooper-Craft of Taunton.

Here is not the place to discuss details, but I would invite anyone who needs to join me in a similar action to contact myself directly at andrew.emery@hotmail.com.

Again, an open forum is no place for us to discuss, so please do not post. The invitation is for private emails only.

Regards,

Andrew Emery

Several Steve. How many do you have? My email address is andrew.emery@hotmail.com

...and that's the last I heard. So, if anyone else has any Roco HOe Mariazellerbahn Electric locos for sale, please let me know. Thanks.

I think it was something to do with air raid precautions as in BR days they reverted to normal size

It was an old NER tradition originating from the 1904 stock, requiring the driver to drive standing-uo, for vigilance.

Hi  ANDREW

  I  may  be  able  to  help  how  many  do  you  need?

Andrew I wasn't being argumentative but I have had no communication about a price rise on my pre orders, quite the contrary they have twice assured us that we won't pay more so you know something extra?

Your posts haven't included any reference to an email or announcement so far apart from mentioning a price rise we thought was common knowledge on the second batch but not the first. As for providing something useful to the thread I can only suggest you look back through my postings over the last few pages on fixing issues and see if any of the findings might be useful if you had kept the order.

Thank you for your reply. To assist, let me share with you that Hattons have sent an email to, Presumably, all of us who pre-ordered the Second Batch intermediate liveried loco - I had three on order - stating that the RRP had risen to £209, but that Hattons wouls sell them for (I think) £178. As the original forecast price had been £160, even this was therefore an increase; £54 to me.

I would have liked three Manning Wardles, but with good r-t-r locos on the matket for just over £100, and uncertainty - lets call it uncertainty - regarding Heljan's quality control, they are a lot less attractive now for those of us not actually modelling the L&BR. Hence my sharing of the RRP £209 news, which was intended to be helpful, not (surprisingly) conroversial....

So you ordered the second batch then?

In which case the price hasn't risen since it was announced so where's the price hike?

Hattons announced the RRP rise 24hrs ago. You don't know everything, it would seem. The rest of us have been enjoying an exchange of useful information, but if you have nothing useful to bring to the discussion other than to be argumentative, probably best that you refrain from posting.

Unless you meant you'd ordered from the second raft, but they were already advertised at the higher price so I assumed you meant you'd cancelled a pre order for batch 1 where the price hasn't been hiked, so because they were sold out at some places so someone will get your cancelled ones at the first batch price not the higher rate for the next versions.

If the shop you pre ordered from raised the price on the first batch then they are having you on as I've been assured that Hattons aren't and my local shop has said the first batch prices were honoured only the next liveries are more.

You assume wrong.

Still on the bright side someone else will get them at the lower price

How?

I read that Heljan are increasing the price to £209 per loco. That's a lot of money for a model with 'issues'. Have cancelled my three pre-orders, and must learn to live without them.
