The very text you quoted says “European Union”, so your statement confused me. Roy

Yes. Spotted mine saying some points expire in 56 days. Roy

And from what we saw of the new model, a new and different chassis. Roy

Or a shelter for a Railway Modeller kicked out of the family home for spending too much money? Roy

Not sure we can fairly call it worst packaging, I have had a loco sent out just wrapped in brown paper before. Certainly agree that the manner of packaging needs to be looked at and if suitable protection is not a available, I would rather wait. Roy

My HNRC 37 arrived similarly packed to others, slight dent in the loco box which is a shame on an exclusive. Not yet had a chance to unpack the loco. Definitely need either smaller posting boxes or better packaging to stop the goods rattling around. Roy

As above, now named after Thomas Barnado. Roy

Trying to order 56021 and 56111 but getting a server error trying to pay. Will try again later. Roy

Didn’t we already know it was 60055? Roy

Probably because nothing they have shown yet looks like a Class 40 that ever existed! Roy

Meanwhile, Crecy themselves are still quoting July 2024. Perhaps switch orders to them? Roy

I look at it this way, it is in our interest for the author, publisher and retailer to make profit as we need all three. If heavy discounts are applied one or more are making less profit and that is not good in the long run. I typically pre-order books from the likes or Larkin, Longworth etc. paying “full price” is much better than paying “extortionate price” when they are out of print. Roy

You just can’t get the staff these days 😉 Roy

Any news on when these become available on your website? Holding off ordering elsewhere at the moment. Thanks, Roy

That was mentioned in a discussion about the latest newsletter I believe. I didn’t receive it so can’t confirm. Roy
