You still end up with a banner at the bottom, but you can see what's on the page. Of course, that's only testing one browser - Chrome - I can't speak for other operating systems and browsers. The original link quoted has now been changed to an open one, I think that the poster inadvertantly linked via his profile which would have meant logging in to view. I have never signed up to FB so that isn't an option, but as you suggest in your post if it is a 'public' page you can usually view it lthough that pop up is annoying. If KR put progress on ther own website it might just be easier than using a third party site. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Received an email about an hour ago saying "The order book will be open soon, and we expect demand to be very strong. We will only be making a limited quantity of each livery." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a rinse and repeat headline used by all the smaller manufacturers, where as the bigger ones say “very high demand and almost sold out at the warehouse”. its becoming over used, i’m becoming immune… a 2nd run can always be made, and ebay always delivers.

Edwardian Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Not that I blame them for it; they likely need to ammortise their tooling etc costs on the first run, so really need to sell the lot quickly and not have stock sitting on the shelves for any long length of time. For me, I plan to order two straight away in any case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 2, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2021 I visited Foxfield yesterday and I was very taken with her. So I thought I would add my pics here too. Sadly I do 7mm. If I did 4mm my order would be in. Cheers, Ade. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KymN Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The order book seemed to be opened in stages. At first there were no livery options offered. I jumped in anyway. Now I am dependent on email to get my preference recorded, and KR has not been very good in that regard before. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribird Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm sorry if I missed this, but when was the dark brown preservation livery announced? I only knew of the three (NCB Green, Preservation Light Brown, and delivery black). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure it was ever actually announced. The original order book had "Preservation brown" and a photo of the early livery. I did email to ask which brown it was but didn't get a response. Anyway, ordered brown and green and recently saw the two brown options so checked the order on the most recent payment and the brown one on that order is now shown as "preservation dark brown" which is the one I wanted. So if you've ordered brown on the original order because you want the early one it might be worth checking. According to the update from KR today the early preservation brown will be the only one with the half cab and that tooling will be commencing soon.

drt7uk Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hi folks, looking to pre-order this and had a question - just wondered why the Bellerophon locomotive DDC ready version is listed as £160 but when I add to the cart it is now £192? Is it because I'm located in the UK? Have asked KR models direct but wanted to ask those of you who have bought it already if they had the same thing...

Paul.Uni Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 The increase certainly corresponds to 20% VAT being added. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2022 As far as I can ascertain the price shown on their website does not make clear - as it is legally required to do so - that their prices in GB£s do not include VAT on the sale price of the item being ordered. It doesn't matter if they are based in Canada or Timbuktu - goods offered for sale in the UK priced in £s are legally required to either include VAT in the advertised price - Section 2.2.7 of SI The Consumer Protection (Code of Practice For Traders on Price Indications) Approval Order 2005. (and also referencing SI the Consumer Protection Order of 1987. You are therefore legally entitled to assume that the price advertised is what you will pay plus any P&P etc charges. (If VAT is not included that could be made clear where the price is shown although the SI requires the price shown to include VAT). Any breaches of the requirement of the SI should be reported to your local Trading Standards office. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drt7uk Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Update - Keith from KR Models replied to say that the price difference was an error that's now been fixed (it's £160 not £190). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wholesalers can display ex-vat prices if they wish (though if they also take orders from the general public a 'inc vat' price is usually shown) see https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/aluminium-capacitors/7111110 for example Edited July 26, 2022 by phil-b259 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2996 Victor Posted September 28, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2022 Has there been any update on this project? The KR website says "In stock" but the descriptive info states delivery 2023. I'm undecided which option to go for, delivery black or one of the preservation browns - it may be me (probably is!) but I can't spot any details of cab or detail options which would inform my choice. I have emailed KR, so hopefully I'll get a response! Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2996 Victor Posted September 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2022 Just heard back from Keith at KR Models. Expected delivery is next year although that's subject to change, of course. For anyone like me who couldn't work it out, cab options are: half-cab for delivery black and early preservation light brown; full cab for NCB and preservation dark brown.
