Obviously “the virus” has pushed everything back months,  but it’s looking like June maybe July now. 

1401 and Auto, these have got to be model of the year 2020.

I have some of them ready to roll Monday to their new owners, as for the turbots - I suspect their in a container between a Anglian port and Chirk.

I can't get one to Swansea !

If you want one, drop me a line....(Newport).

MonBank Model Railway Centre being 100% online is still open and able to shop orders.

Does anyone know how to remove the body shell ?

Thanks 

Dapol have announced as of this evening they are closing for three weeks in light of the Prime Minsters instructions to the nation last night.

Im sure you’ll join me in wishing the team at Dapol a safe period, and look forward to getting the country back in track together when they return,

All the best guys, Marc @ MonBank Model Railway Centre 

Dapols fantastic Class 14/48/58XX locomotives available now from MonBank Model Railway Centre

The patches are extremely thin so should be okay to apply over the much faded GWR.

Dapol Collectors Club 1401 arrived today, it’s a cracking little model praise where it’s due.

I’ve had five customers cancel their sound orders as they’ve got fed up waiting, I’m going to remove the sound models as it’s not fair on me or the customer simply not knowing when they’ll arrive, if ever.

Next 8 weeks yes, had a forthcoming product list yesterday.

The situation isn’t helped by Dapol not even giving a rough eta of any sound models, latest I heard was fitting of the 08s had even started (two weeks ago).

Thank you all for this intel.  Very disappointing that Dapol has not whetted our appetites with any updates or photographs.  Having said that I am sure that they will be worth the wait when they do arrive - I reminding myself that grumbles about the production delays for the 08 evaporated once the superb model was finally released and gracing layouts (and shelves and planks) up and down the country.

We’re still awaiting for the sound models, latest info is they haven’t even started the fitment process.

Should anyone wish to support the very little guy then we will have them from next week as well.

Having spoke to a gentleman on the Dapol stand on Saturday at the Kettering O gauge meet, he suggested the coaches would likely now appear in the Autumn. 

They’ve asked for orders on this months order slips, good to see retailers kept in the loop again...

Allegedly batch release starts this month...

We shall see who I use here on in, depending on whether Hattons redeem the situation with the hand rails or not

Do Hattons check their models prior to despatch? Saves a lot of hassle, and money when I do !

Hi Ian,

no consolation to you, but DPD are one of the best in the UK in my opinion. On time, we get a text message with a one hour slot, and my deliveries are generally bang in the middle of the slot, and always (touch wood) have been well cared for.

 

Sorry to hear that things haven’t worked out well so far, let’s hope your Cromptons arrive shortly and you can get back to enjoying them! Love what your doing with the layout.

Totally agree, DPD are my customer courier of choice - its just to much hassle and stress shipping outside the UK for me.
