  1. Thanks for the timely update its actually good to know what is going on in the background since Hattons closed down, will look forward to further timely updates, thanks again,, John
  2. Two schools of thought here.- 1. No news is good news or 2. Updates to those with orders ( via email) stops any negative thoughts regarding there orders. Information regular or irregular keeps those with orders happy. 😊 Yes i have some on order as well.
  3. Seem to remember going to the MMRS ( Manchester) annual Christmas show sometime in the mid 1960s, the venue being either the Sackville street building or the Corn Exchange ( now known as the Triangle unless they have changed it again) , somehow cant remember which venue was first. Both sites were busy.
  4. The lifetime guarantee only applies to the analogue (DC) controllers unfortunately. Talking of new DCC controllers prices have risen sharply for them be prepared for a shock ! that is of course if you can find one in a retailer they seem to be in short supply (Guagemaster).
  5. Nah they are probable just as bad ! family of the do as i want , when I want and how I want to do it brigade !! need I say more , a sad sign of society. Slap wrist and dont do it again !!!!
  6. Expected in the shops anytime now I believe
  7. The silence is deafening over the transfer of the Genesis coaches. Lack of communication from Rails is not good for confidence ( Has anybody heard anything directly from them ?). An email from Rails confirming transfer of the orders would assist all those with orders as to what stage the orders are at. Lack of communication can harbor false rumors so come on Rails lets here something please !
  8. Sadly society has now breed so called humans with the attitude of " I will do what I want, when I want and how I want and nobody can tell me to do anything otherwise " There is only one thing that sort it all out and that would bring about much suffering ! Enough said
  9. Jim a similar thing has happened with the Barclays , accurasale say that monies will be taken in line with the original Hattons policy ( ie when the model is ready for despatch) but there website says May 8th , have quired this either them and was told the monies would be due when the model is ready for dispatch. If seems they are having IT problems to me. Nay be worth contacting them to clarify
  10. But still the price of the original batch !
  11. As regard lights it depends which version your looking at!
  12. Just had an email from Kernow saying my ordered class 11 is on its way in the hands of Royal(snail) Mail
  13. Strange, yet another British business to buy an American one and then decide to close down or use another word for it. 🤔
  14. Kernow won't be able to answer your question the people to ask are Model Rail magazine, it actually says and gives details of how to on page 3 of the current mag
  15. Which happens to be "Kernow" as they are handling the customer sales/final distribution of Model Rail magazines models, that is my believing as to what is happening 🤔 Please feel free to correct me if that is inaccurate.
  16. That would depend on your understanding of the words, early, mid and late and seeing as today's date is the 19th which of afformentioned words fits with the date
  17. Yet on page 13 of the Rail magazine released this week it states " due to depart for Cornwall in early January", draw your own conclusions
  18. Have you considered the Model Rail/Heljan class 11 diesel shunter from which the BR class 08 was developed ? A new model due to arrive shortly.
  19. Should have mentioned left Denmark
  20. Feb 2024 dropped through the letter box and reports that the class 11s were due to depart for Cornwall in early January! 😊
  21. Shipping around the Cape is only adding approx 9 days to transit times
  22. What strange happenings are going on in the model railway world, first Hattons and then Warley. Going to the past there was the annual December show in Manchester which swapped dates to accommodate the Warley show, since then Manchester returned to its traditional December show time, so come up a bit further North or not so far South to enjoy a rather good show along with other attractions the area can offer.
  23. Thx was thinking of there sounds 😊
  24. OK who is considering whose sound files/decoder for this loco? Just asking as it will come with a speaker fitted.
  25. Thats if the container ship is comming around the Cape, not all are .
