Edge Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 They look good. Makes me feel good about the GCR/LNER transitional livery one I have on order 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard i Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 They look good, but I hope the lining is just for effect rather than the design which will be used as it is missing some of the detail. There should be a step out from the top curve to the section running down the back rather than a straight feed in. richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drt7uk Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the video of the handpainted decorated samples. Looking forward to the production samples which they had said should arrive around now Have the GCR one on pre-order Edited February 14, 2022 by drt7uk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drt7uk Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hello @Oliver Rails just wondered if there was an update on the decorated samples? Looking forward to seeing the GCR one. Thanks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Marlin Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Really looking forward to the arrival of this, my Christmas present... is there any clarification yet of when that's likely to be, now that we're into Q2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Last I heard, delivery was expected some time in Q2, but of course I’ll defer to those who are actually making the model on that one Edited April 6, 2022 by Edge 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drt7uk Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'm wrong - they said on Instagram that they are still aiming for Q2. The GCR one may go into production without a decorated sample, but fine by me. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmdon Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 anyone heard anything? just as we approach the final month of Q2. I'm guessing the delays that are hitting everything else are going to hit here too but someone might have heard something... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold teaky Posted August 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2022 @Warren Rails @Oliver Rails and just in case you know @Revolution Ben Is there an update on the date please?

Plus I think copying my post just notifies me and not Warren and Oliver too. The Rails website hasn't changed for ages and one could be forgiven for wondering if they're not owning up to some kind of additional delay. If the A5s were going to arrive in "summer 2022" then the container(s) exact location would already be known and a more accurate delivery date/month would be available. Like with so many things at the moment we'll just have to continue to be patient. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted August 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2022 Recent emails from Rails advertising the shop 'open day' offer the prospect of someone who may attend (no I won't be there) asking about the A5, but I note that Sonic are not mentioned among the multitude of manufacturers who will be represented. The adverts in the latest magazines I've seen still suggest Q3 for delivery, but who knows with publication lead times and world events all having impact on the accuracy of published information ?

drt7uk Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just phoned Rails to ask the latest and they said mid to late September, possibly early October if it gets delayed (but that they weren't currently aware of any delays). 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spackz Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I asked again this week, as due to the current climate want to budget as much as possible. They're hoping they arrive by the end of the year now, so have reduced my order to one. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
