Put in an order for class 41 'Warship' 'D603 Conquest as well today.

Odd thing is, the email from kernow says they have debited my visa card already, bit odd for a pre order I would have thought.


Then I look at the top of the email and it says -

Please note that your credit or debit card is not charged until we manually process the order and are ready to send the goods, despite what the order confirmation may indicate.

I noticed that as well Anthony, but they were quick enough to follow on with the 'quote'..so 'happy waiting time'....I guess we'll have 'twins?........probably go the whole 9 months!!!!........Dave

Now we wait for them to come.

[berth44]

"sigh".....Dave

[SkyFire]

It will come!!!

This and the class 41 will be my only OO scale diesel locos.

Is that the latest one with 'discs' instead of Headcodes Anthony?? It's a nice model, I'm happy with mine,it's got a bit of a 'bogie' issue, (the sides do not line up with centres of the wheels) but it's a good buy never the less,it's a must have for the Western Region and it'll also be a stablemate for your D600 Warship when it finally arrives.
On my 'to get' list the 'Dapol Western' .. a 'Co-Bo' ..'Teddy Bear'.. and a 'Railbus' but these wont happen till after I get my '10001' and the 'BayGar'......Dave

I think it's the latest one.

D1000W Dapol Class 22 Diesel Hydraulic Locomotive number D6321 in BR Green livery with small yellow panel, disc headcodes and weathered finish.

Yip, that's one of the latest batch Anthony,one of the class is enough for me,but I'll probably get a pair of the 'Scottish' version..Class 29s when they eventually come on the 'Pre-order' list from Dapol..I have 3 or 4 already but they are the old Hornby ones, they leave a lot to be desired, especially the motor, but not bad for their day, I'm sure I had a lot of fun with them!!...........Dave

[berth44]

Canny jist have you buying stuff Anthony,so, I've taken the plunge and ordered from 'Hattons' the 'Teddy Bear' 0-6-0 diesel shunting loco D9535 in a 'weathered condition'.It was at a 'Bargain' price of 89 UK pounds,delivered to me it comes in less VAT and postage just under 80 UKs, that's approx 118 bucks Aussie,good price but it puts me on 'death roe' ...no... 'ho ho!!!!...............Dave

[bluedot0]

Death roe Davey........hmmmm.....don't worry about being there....it's the execution part that hurts...........Phil

In reference to youre comment Phil, """"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".................Dave

Just watch what you bid Anthony,you could end up paying more than what it's really worth,but good luck to you anyway.
As an owner of the 'NRM City of Truro' I can tell you it's a fine model, I know, I paid over the odds for it off of E Bay (Aust, personally brought over from the Museum) 'C of T' is a 'Ltd Edition' , so I had to have it and I hate getting into 'bidding wars', and as we know, this drives up the price, but I had to have this one and as I had just sold a few model cars...I had dollars to spare.........happy bidding Anthony!!!............Dave

[SkyFire]

I'm not going to bid any higher than what I have done, it will be interesting to see what happens as it closes in on the 3rd of March.
