davknigh Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Great news Marc. As I suspect I’m not the only one who will be ordering from across the pond(s) and hoping this post may save you from having to respond to a dozen emails, how would you like to handle the postage? Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I will work how much extra it would cost for both US and Canada and post it here. Iwill work out for Australia and New Zealand at the same time. Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted February 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2022 Marc Is it possible to order different items from the range collectively or should I just pay for each item individually. I'm looking to buy a starter pack, the Standard/+1 Flippem pack, the Loops for back fitting and the Height and Depth gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi Ray It's a bit of a glitch on the website for some reason you can order multiples of the same item in one go but it doesn't let you ordered different items at the same time. If you want I can send you an invoice for your order with out going through the website if you want? Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any difference at your end if I pay with PayPal or a card? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi Ray, Not a problem no difference at this end. I will sort things out after I have got my little on through bed time. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 I have upgraded the website over the last few days. Hopefully it's easier to navigate and you can now search for products. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokalbahn Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'm about to order some, but I get a message: 'Customer matched zone "Collect at a Show"' I'd really like them posted (I'm in the UK.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 I will have a look at it. Postage is free anyway so as I'm not doing any shows until June I'm presuming that all orders are to be posted. Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Just a quick up date for everyone who has ordered couplings. I have been promised, by my etcher’s, that I should the etches by Tuesday at the latest. Once they have arrived I will be shipping them out you. I have ordered extra stock so if there is anyone who is yet to order I will have some stock spare. Marc 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 I didn't want my to start this post with the word "Apologies" but I'm going to have to apologise to everyone who was expecting to take delivery of the couplings that they have ordered. I have been let down by the company who supply's my etches. I was told that I would have them by Monday or Tuesday, this week, at the latest. When nothing arrived, I contacted them thinking that it would be a shipping issue. 24 hours later I have just had a reply from them. They have now told me that I should now get them next Monday or Tuesday. I wasn't told why there has been a delay so to say that I'm not a happy bunny is an understatement. I feel that I'm letting people down as I have promised delivery this week and that isn't going to happen. Please bear with me I will get orders out to everyone as soon as I have the etches.

MarcD Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Some good news. I have just had an email from DHL informing me that the etches are on their way. So I should have them in the next 48 hours. As soon as I have them in my hands I will be packing up the orders and getting them out to you all.

MarcD Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) More good news! The etches arrive this afternoon. I'm busy packing up all the orders as we speak and I will be gong to the post office tomorrow with them. So everyone should have their order by the end of the week. The First time you will be able to see them in the flesh, so to speak, will be at Doncaster on the 11th of June, followed by the Carlisle O gauge Group's 21st anniversary show on 25/26th of June, Stafford (GuildEx) on 3/4th Sept and Scalefourum (High Wickam) 24/25th Sept. More shows may be added to this list. Marc Edited March 1, 2022 by MarcD Typo 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Breaking News! I have been invited to demonstrate the couplings at the Birtley show (Gateshead) on Saturday. I will be demonstrating how to select, build and install the couplings. I will have a few packs of both the 7mm and 4mm versions with me if anyone wants to pick some up face to face.

MarcD Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 All of the initial coupling orders have now been posted out, so you should have them in a day or two.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted March 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi Marc. I'm late to the party and only found out about Flippems last week. I liked Di ghams but they proved to be very weak when used in trains that had heavy ABS wagons in them., or indeed your original containerised coal wagons with the WM boxes. I have some Di gham fitted stock and need to both retrofit those and also fit auto uncouplers to quite a few vehicles. How much stronger are your design. Thanks in advance. Jamie Guest.

MarcD Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi Jamie, To answer your question on strength. Vastly stronger. I have increased the thickness of material by 1/4 and increased the cross section of the loops by a 1/4 as well. Hope this helps Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
