G-BOAF Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 2 hours ago, McC said: To be very fair to Rails, this has been a learning experience on our end, and we're shipping almost a full container load onto the super patient guys and girls in Sheffield! It has taken longer than we expected (and communicated) to get them all counted, checked, and rechecked, for onward, and to add insult, the carrier truck was too small!! To pick them up as planned leading to a small extra delay. So please don't hold Rails / Locomotion or the DPS responsible for the little extra delay, we promise your patience will be rewarded! To help clarify / shed some light on the scale, here are just the DCC ready KOYLI's getting loaded up! That's quite a sight is that KOYLI 1982 or 2016 in that picture (or both?) Seem to be about 70 boxes there, which would be 450-500 models.... :-p 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted June 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) A trip to Buffers (of Axminster/Chard) yesterday and a raid on their 2nd hand blue grey rolling stock means my KOYLI now has a test train to pull round the temporary running in oval when it duly arrives.

apollo 079 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hi all. Received an e-mail; well two actually; this morning to say that Rails have dispatched my model of 55015. A phone call confirmed the tracking id (Royal Mail) and that packages are awaiting pick up around 2 this afternoon. So I will finally have a model if the loco I saw on a shopping trip to Basingstoke way back on 17th October 1981. 😀 Kevin 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo 079 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 In related news, I ordered a "winged pineapple" headboard etch from Fox Transfers yesterday afternoon; it arrived this morning. What more need I say? Kevin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guarded Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think Accurascale missed a trick with a detail pack featuring headboards for the expresses,the Thistle headboard for the Flying Scotsman,etc.Perhaps they’ve got one planned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said on the main thread, my experience of Rails is that there is no rhyme or reason as to the order they send stuff out. It literally seems to be a case of whose address label is at the top of the pile…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hi everyone, In fairness to Rails of Sheffield, they only received the stock on Friday lunchtime as we had lots of trouble securing an articulated lorry to get them from our warehouse to theirs (due to driver shortage, apparently) I'd imagine they will be in overdrive getting orders out in the coming days, but the delay certainly is not on them. Cheers! Fran 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted June 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2022 The biggest issue here, and it is a generic one as it happens with all pre-orders, is when stock eventually arrives and deliveries finally do get scheduled you have no control over whether it coincides with your holidays or any other absences. With a bog-standard mail order item you time placing your order so you can avoid arrivals on days you are unlikely to be in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
