Hi Chris.    Did you get a response from me?    Have I sorted it out?  Did you E.Mail charlie@dckits.co.uk.   Let me know:  Charlie

Sorry late to post.

I did respond and have sent back today, should get tomorrow.

Chris

Sadly Charlie have sent a email again, after noticing something after showing brother the model.

Chris

Just done a test run and no issues at all.

The lighting and sounds are fantastic

Chris

Got your E.Mail now, item sorted. Charlie

Thank you Charlie. Will test run unit tomorrow as had to go into work.

Has Charlie replied.    (Charlie @ Realtrack)

Hi Charlie, Not so far. Can post the images on here as well though, of bit in question.

Chris

Just got to say my model has arrived and really looks gorgeous.

Although, Have a issue, which have emailed Charlie about though.

Chris

Shall be getting one of these myself. The choice being 2047 '705' in BR Black.

Reason for that one, is very biased. First locomotive ever did anything with when Volunteered on the ESR over a decade ago, including a brief go at driving her, going into firebox etc.

Oh look what Mr postman brought me this morning. Thanks Charlie excellent packaging and box now to test!IMAG0278.jpg

Very nice and looks very smart. Look forward for mine.

Any idea when funds will be taken out for the Spotty rail sound models?

I also need to pay up for the Barbie ones - again any timescales?

For myself for the Spot Rail ones, have already gone out. (Paid over phone Sunday, Appeared on bank taken on Tuesday)

So coming soon

Like wise, can't wait for my sound fitted model as well.

Although had payment issues (most likely me, putting a number in wrong) So had to phone Charlie during break at work yesterday evening, but that was done all nice and quickly

Chris

Thank you for the photographs of your 156. It really looks fantastic.

Making me look even more excited for my sound Spotrail.

Chris

Anyone read the review in this weeks Model Rail mag yet. Apparently some subscribers have already received their's. What's the verdict?

Seems to be very positive, Brings up some issues that Bachmann are know for such as the motorblock being visual in the motorcoach, detailing is great, especially around the Pantograph Well. Although apparntly some paint creep due to the complex masking that is / was needed. 

Overall scored 92%

The images of it look fantastic, wouldn't mind one myself. But would rather get a 350 again (After mine, i got at release, never worked on DCC) or other Units etc.

Chris

Don't say I did not warn you!!!!!

 

As of tonight, the 300 Sound fitted Class 156's expected here in September have nearly sold out, there are approx 40 left, these are Twin Decoder & speaker fitted with two ESU Sound Decoders, and have the Legomanbiffo 'Select' sound files loaded @ £120.00.  When gone all we can offer is the Standard 21Pin V4 Decoders @ £110.00 Each. 

 

Charlie

Of course ashame for being delayed, but it will be worth it as well though Great to see how many are sound models as well though.

Still have to say, bit of a blessing in disguise for me, as means can most likely do Desktop system upgrade sooner.

Chris

Looks like may be ordering another one haha. Especially one of the Provincial ones.

Although going to wait for 156445 first though.

(although, Charlie not sure if seen email, but not had a reply yet though)

Chris

Another photo!!  They are now painting them with Grey Roofs, oh dam!!!   Another version of Saltire to do?

 

Charlie

 

PPS Before you ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not had the delivery confirmed yet, which means we officially running late, currently I estimate another 6-7 weeks sadly.

 

'Cannot trust these pesky Chinese'

As others have said, will certainly be worth the wait.

Just double checking as well, payment/ well pending for it to. All go through fine though? Finial + Sound option. (as did get the email etc)

Chris

Just paid the rest off it of now With the sound option as well.

Chris

Good job Payday is Friday for me, so shall be paying off the rest of mine then.

Although sent a email querying this (Not had a reply) If want to add Special Delievery to order how would i go about doing so?

Chris

It truly is looking fantastic

Shall get rest of mine paid off soon. + Sound option.

Chris

Well did have one for a short period of time. As got it from Parents/ Brother for Birthday. But had to be sent back due to various issues, such as Some sound functions not working when others were enabled (Engine and Horn) Halo lights not working one end etc.

Ashame as looked like a fantastic model (Daring i had) Sadly Hattons have none in stock, so waiting time now.

As others have said looking great, can't wait till receive my one

Why Leith, that might be on a Tram one day!!

As much as i would love the trams to go to Leith, imagine it will be a very long time

Deposits have now started to be taken out of bank accounts.

Apparently went out Yesterday for myself.

Chris

Most looking forward to the Vulcan Train pack, as seems to be a great selection of items.

Although Hatton's price seems to be rather optimistic though really.

Chris

Thank you, your order states 156-111 (156445 Saltire)

Most welcome and oops typo. Can't wait to see the finish sample and also first model I have preordered as well.
