Matt Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very positive review of these wagons in Model Rail this month… just to get us more excited :-). I genuinely can’t remember how many I ordered now so opening the box to find that out will be exciting in itself! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted September 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2022 The Ecofret model on show at the Rails open day last Saturday, looked outstanding !! Cheers, Phil. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mooresby Posted September 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2022 Looking forward to both these models landing soon and then start the countdown for the HOAs! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2022 Annoyingly the shipping company have just told us that the container didn’t make the ship that it was booked on (which was due into Southampton this weekend) but has been put on a ship arriving in 3-4 weeks time. I’ll update our website when we’ve got some more definite information. cheers Mike 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These represent one of my ‘core’ freight trains which I would really really like to have at running on the layout at GETS! Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hi Simon Normally I'd have said yes (definitely) but we were pretty disappointed to find out that they weren't on the ship that they were originally booked on. If they've landed and cleared customs (and assuming that they're not at a port on strike) then they should be OK for before GETS, but I'm loathe to say definitely until we physically get the models!

I’ll happily collect them from your stand on the Saturday Morning if needed! 😂 Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll be worth the wait :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the route. The ship we understand the models are on board is making intermediate stops elsewhere in Europe before reaching the UK. cheers Ben A.

Hi there, I don't think the strike at Felixtowe will have much impact on unloading at Southampton! cheers Ben A. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton is suffering just as badly as Felixstowe and they’re not on strike (yet!). Some lines are skipping the UK entirely and discharging abroad and the boxes are being fed back in 14-20 days late (!) Absolutely, but the OP mentioned the strike at Felixtowe. As we've said before, this consigment has already been delayed by factors beyond our control. We are being told there won't be further delays but one reason we aren't saying more about scheduled deliveries is that we won't believe it until they are on pallets outside our premises! cheers Ben A. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hi, Just got the dispatch email for my IPAs, so they have arrived and are now in the process of being sent out. However, I know that Ben and Mike can be very busy during the posting process, so be patient in waiting for your order! Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed on their website on the Projects page updated on 17/10 that the status has changed to Shipping to Customers with 50% sent out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mooresby Posted October 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2022 Chatting to the guys at GETS they seemed to think that the Eco Frets were also on the same ship so they could be VERY busy - definitely a good time to leave the guys to crack on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I haven’t had a dispatch email but I’ve had an email from Royal Mail (I originally thought was spam…) saying I’ve got a Tracked48 parcel on the way, which I didn't expect. Putting 2+2 together I’m hoping for a nice surprise on its arrival! Thanks, Jack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted October 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2022 The first IPAs went in the post on Friday/Saturday. Ecofrets will go separately in a couple of weeks. Cheers Mike 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
