Oh dear.

I was hoping not to have to buy anymore 47s, but that RDS version is a ripper.

There clearly have been problems at Hattons, quite likely now resolved.

 

I actually think it's quite useful for people to share their experience here. That way people who had one bad experience know it wasn't just that they were extremely unlucky, and people who haven't used them for a while have been warned that they might not get the speedy delivery they have been used to (even if it was never promised).

 

Complaining directly doesn't do that. And just because someone posts here doesn't mean they haven't also complained. And in any case we know that Hattons reads this forum...

But unfortunately that is not what is happening on here. We have a bunch of internet keyboard warriors trying to big note themselves, intent on making sweeping generalisations that ultimately do not to stand up under scrutiny. 

A tragic waste of bandwith.

Hi

 

Hattons have become a bit of a joke I looked at the Bachmann birdcage coaches in BR livery and Hattons where over £10 dearer than rails of Sheffield so no prices to where my cash is going

 

Thanks

Alan

As have the majority of posters in this thread.

Gare du Nord - November 1988

As per the double up above - next something from the US

Finger Lakes Railway ( a pair of GE B23-7s) crossing Cayuga Lake, New York state on 8 October 2017 (definitely best viewed full screen)

Next a train alongside a river (but not a canal)

ALCo powered Montreal Locomotive Works built M636s still at work in the US.

Former Cartier Mining unit now with Western New York & Pennsylvania at Driftwood, PA on 10 October 2017

Ex Canadian Pacific 4743 now with Delaware Lackawanna at Scranton, PA on 22 October 2017

Going nowhere is Steamtown Scranton's 'stuffed and mounted' 4-8-8-4 'Big Boy' sitting outside the railway museum on the morning of the 22 October 2017. Still impressive despite it's poor external condition, the presence of asbestos means that no work can be undertaken on it (even painting) until decontaminated.

Heading east along I84 to Boston for my flight home after three weeks in the US I made a brief detour into Port Jervis, NY to see if there were any Metro North services stabled there - drew a blank, but was unexpectedly rewarded with ex-Erie E8 #833 stored there on 24 October 2017. Has not been operational for 2-3 years and the prospects of it being reactivated are slim.

Last shot of the trip and haven't had the camera out since.

Cab detail of ex Canadian National 4-6-4T at Steamtown, Scranton, PA on 23 October 2017

A Steamtown excursion heading from Scranton to Delaware Water Gap on 15 October 2017, behind preserved F3 #663 and RS3 #1554, seen at Gouldsboro, PA. Ex Central of New Jersey #1554 also sees regular shortline freight work with the Delaware Lackawanna out of Scranton.

Hopefully the source I used for this caption was correct.....Two 3-car Class 503 ‘Wirral & Mersey’ electric multiple units have just arrived at Rock Ferry with a service from Liverpool Central in November 1983

Excellent - some rare stuff there.

How about we all agree that this arguement was stupid the first time and hasn't gained any intelligence behind it since? Consumers in every industry have a right to an opinion without producing the product themselves. Saying something like this adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.

When it's 'the same whiners and whingers complaining from behind their computer screens saying the same thing time and time again, just because they have nothing better to do, then how about we all agree it adds absolutely nothing to the discussion 

Unfortunately I think it's going to be a long wait.........ex-Canadian National 4-6-4T no.47 at Steamtown, Scranton on 23 October 2017

Next would be a station awaiting/ or undergoing restoration.

Hi Steven

 

I think they are indeed the later air braked tanks.

 

Cheers

 

Paul

Ooops . Thanks

Triple and single pack United Molasses tanks ordered. Out of interest, what length rakes did these generally run in and behind what sort of traction? Hoping my BR Blue 27 would be a suitable choice.

 

I would be interested in some 80s departmental versions in future if that could be a possibility.

 As mentioned above

Seems pretty black and white to me........Portland PA 19 October 2017

I've been doing a bit of travelling lately...........they don't come much redder than this 

Vermont Railway 432 heads 263 Rutland to Bellows Falls freight through Smithville VT, on 3 October 2017. SD70M-2 432 was delivered in 2006 to Florida East Coast, then moved on to First Union Rail Leasing before finding its new home on the VTR

'London' could mean a whole lot of different things I would have thought within the boundaries of Greater London would be OK, but I'll play it safe and keep it closer to the centre. I do have some pics taken at East London in South Africa, but unfortunately not on the hard drive.

Class 45 'Peak' 45121 waits to depart St Pancras with a Midland line express in April 1983, while a Class 317 'BedPan' EMU lurks in the background.

On 6 March 2013, car 5534 leads a six car C69 set into Farringdon while working a westbound Hammersmith & City Line service. 

East Kent Railway - August 2015

East Camberwell (Melbourne) - November 2015

IIRC wasn't that one of the short lived Project Rio services that ran via Stockport, Hope Valley and Erewash valley (notably missing out Sheffield and Derby) during the WCML works?

Not sure of the exact routing, but yes it was during the Project Rio period.
