If credits can be applied retrospectively, then does that mean that credits can be earned upon review on products bought previously? I have been invited to review one previous order out of 7 orders I've had delivered. I'd be willing to leave reviews for the other items if invited and the credits would come in useful against items due soon!
I only got the invitation to review in the late summer this year and was expecting more to follow....yet nothing!

Great way to follow up the delivery of the Deltics boys! One duly ordered here.

Yes, Penshaw is easily identifiable, but what's the rectangular object above the 3rd last carriage? The water tower on Cleadon Hill?
It's Durham House at Washington Galleries.

I couldn't help notice yesterday and raise an eye brow of a flyer for a Limby Class 67 from a well known box shifter. DCC ready £175. 😮
OT alert, but that isn't ex-Lima tooling. It's Hornby's own tooling from around 2012.

Just catching up after a few days away, is the above correct? Looking at support pages it shows/suggests you can from roof hatch removed. Would only want to remove body once my early BR crew arrived.
I opened the roof hatch on my model and the DIL switch for the lights is not under the hatch, it's under the fixed part of the body. I suppose it may be possible to remove the blanking plate to set the switches outside the body and then replace the plate in the model.
Why would I make that up?

Does anyone know of any producers of appropriate 4mm etched or printed nameplates for the Deltics?
The Accurascale models come with etched plates in the box and they look like they are made by Shawplan.

Anyone else with a DC only model find that the decoder blanking plate that has the light switches on is inaccessible from the roof hatch? Most amusing!

That has kept me supporting MM on RMWeb for more than a couple of years. Real impatience from a group of people seemingly and like Terriers with a blooming Rabbit. However, the situation of folk having paid and stuff just not arriving has become regular now. Dave should really think about selling the Business on as the stuff is good but I believe he is no longer able to cope, which is very sad indeed.
There comes a time when things really can't continue this way.
I am not in any way battering Dave. I've known him for decades. It is what has happened to the Business that is so very sad.

A1 products are still selling etched bits on ebay. Their seller name is "a1models-doncaster". They do still offer narrow gauge and 4mm standard gauge parts. I couldn't recall seeing any buffer backing plates at all in their ebay shop but it may be worth searching yourself.

Not to discourage your attempt to produce the cowling yourself, but are you aware that PH designs offer a Class 31 detailing etch that includes the cowling?

See my point above that had the factory completed on time before CNY, current lockdown would not be an issue on the Deltics at all. The fact that they screwed up in late Jan has ripples now. and there should be consequences - a simple 4 week delay has suddenly become a 10 week delay. If the factory cannot complete orders on time, claim on their insurance or Chinese government for compensation to ensure contracts delivered on time.
Also poor management for China that Zero-Covid has failed so badly and they now have major lockdowns at the time when the rest of the world is learning (intelligently, if imperfectly) how to manage things. Again the buck rests with China and not AS or us (the consumers who, in this case, are giving up patiently waiting)
As an Accurascale customer, it's not really your (or my business) to tell them to claim on their insurance or any other remedy.
It is entirely up to you if you don't wish to wait for the Deltic model, but since I'm assuming you ordered it instead of the other manufacturer's version that is available, then it's because you want the enhanced features of the AS version. If that is the case, then you have 2 choices: wait and get the enhanced version, B: cancel your order.
Your second point that goes on to blame China for poor Covid management can hardly be laid at AS's door. It's literally out of their control. I live in an English city that is still cancelling bus services daily due to "covid", so your rant seems very unrealistic from my seat.

You do realise that China has locked down several of its larger provinces due to new Covid infections? How does a factory put any sort of contingency in place for things like that?
I paid for my AS Deltic in full in 2019, but the only option is to wait really. Your rant does not alter the reality of the situation.

Another excellent choice of subject that fills a gap in the market with a (no doubt) quality product. Follows on from the HUO, PFA, PTA in that respect.

I think it was more a case that the 153s were required urgently in the South West, where Pacers (sorry, 'Skippers') had been abject failures.
Well, it was lucky that they left the North East as passenger numbers seem too healthy for single car units!

Isn't it strange that Class 153s arrived on the Tyne valley after class 156s and yet they didn't stay long. Hopefully that is reflection of passenger numbers being too high for the 153s to cope with.

I still love the variety in traction and trains you used to get at Carlisle...Looking at pics like David's is the closest we will get to those days sadly!

Nice selection of pics from Newcastle Central while it was being remodelled, including a period reference poster for Chris Rea's Road to Hell album in J11868!

I got the same message re delivery date when I ordered a couple of weeks ago!

As your pics show David, Carlisle used to be a fantastic place to watch trains not so very long ago. The variety and non-stop action, plus the very different architecture compared with more familiar NER surroundings. My most recent visits were semi-regularly pre-covid to get there on the first train from Newcastle on a Saturday morning ready for the Leeds train and a days walking near the S&C.
Still an atmospheric place, but less interest on the traction front!

In plastic aircraft modelling circles it is common to leave yellowed transfers on a sunny windowsill all day. The sun bleaches out the yellowing. Worth a try to recover the Fox transfers?

I would certainly still be interested in the ICI bogie hopper parts as originally mentioned, plus the paints. Courier costs for paint are an unavoidable thing these days, so the charge mentioned would not deter me.

I think more accurately it isn't Weardale shed. It is Wolsingham gun barrel shed which happens to be in Weardale.

New Bachmann Class 158 on Analogue Controller

I wonder where it says in the features quoted above that the motor is or isn't coreless? Is Phil Parker assuming that the term "3-pole" by definition means that the motor is an iron-core type.
