  12. Thank you for your encouraging words I've recieved an email from the new email address giving me a full apology and the reason why it's taking so long apparently the loco is now with there DCC decoder fitting specialist as it has to be hardwired ? (As far as i know only two wires have to be soldered on for the bass reflex speaker) I'll give it until just before the warley show and see what's happening then take it from there !!
  13. Anybody going out to look for the class 40 from Tyseley today heres the timings http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R37432/2013/11/08/advanced

      Maybe going to have a look on Tuesday

  15. I'm really starting to get annoyed with this firm now I phoned them again last Tuesday 29/10/2013 and I was assured that my loco would be with me by Friday 1/11/2013 as one of the owners was working from home on Tuesday and he had took my loco to change the screws and fit the sound decoder and I'm still waiting for it it's the lack of communication on there part that's really worrying me now I think I'll be making a suprise visit to see what's going on !!
  16. I rang them on Monday and they said I would have my loco by today and not a phonecall to say it's delayed again !!
  17. As my previous comment saying I was worried about my Dapol Western I have phoned L&B last Monday and I was told that my Loco would be with me by Friday and guess what it's still not here so it looks like I may be having a daytrip to the shop and see what's going on as this is the same excuse I've been given twice now. I know I may seem a bit over reactive but when the loco cost £149 plus the £89 for the sound decoder I think I may have a right to be getting cautious now.
  18. Only 4 days left at work then 12 days off don't suppose I'll get any modelling work done!!

  19. Cheers Dave I'll give them a quick call tomorrow while I'm on my PnB Colin
  20. Does anybody have an up to date email address for L&B the one that's on the new business cards doesn't work as I bought a weathered Dapol western at the Hornby show last weekend and when I went to fit a sound decoder whilst I was at the show as I was on the DEMU stand I found that all of the screws holding the body on had been completely rounded off so I returned said Loco to see what could be done and they agreed to happily either leave the loco with them and they would fix the problem with the screws and fit the sound decoder and they said would give me a ring in a couple of days to confirm they had done the job. I know it's only Thursday but a quick phonecall or email would be nice to see if everything is in order I mean after all I've paid £149.95 for the loco and then there was the cost of the decodder from another stand at the same show. Sorry rant over just a bit cautious as it's a lot of money and after the email was returned this morning stating that the email address wasn't in use I'm getting a bit nervous
  21. The second day of booking on at 0424 roll on 1400 im going back to bed!!
