It's a pleasure........young Davey......always out to make people feel good, just like you will when your Deltic arrives.......Pheel

[berth44]

I weel 'pheel' oh so jolly 'Pheel 'when eet arrives ,even at 1.15 am!!....Dave

P/s, you are a flatterer my friend, I love the 'young' bit!!

[berth44]

Weel,here we are 2012,I wonder where my Deltic is??,tried contacting the Brother in law through the mother in law,no word,so it could still be in Scotland waiting to be posted!!. Don't you just hate it when communications break down???...Dave

[SkyFire]

Hopefully it won't take too much longer to come.

[berth44]

You'll certainly know when it does Anthony!!..........Dave

[bluedot0]

Any news yet?......Phil

[berth44]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodon't saty that!!!.........Dave

[berth44]

Another week gone by,no word, nothing. I attempted to get in touch,but nothing,fell on deaf ears..so we wait.......Dave

[berth44]

Well,it's sort of 'Good News',Deltic is still in Scotland!! Phoned the BinL,he held onto it because of the Christmas postal backlog, and now that we've been in contact,it'll be posted on Monday...for sure,and it might be registered as well!! so that has given me peace of mind, and now,with a bit of luck my next posting will be announcing it's arrival!!........Dave

[SkyFire]

Woooooohooooooo It will be good to get it at long last. It had better run well after all this.

[berth44]

I'm sure it will Anthony....Dave

[berth44]

Well, I was not going to 'post' until I actually have the model in my hands,but I thought as 'new' information has came to my earholes via das phone, the 'B in L' posted it exactly two weeks ago today via 'registered mail' and it cost him 18 and a '1/2' (hauf) British Quids to do so!!, and when we hung up, I think he was a wee bit concerned, after all, he has used the British Post officesssss best and trusted service!!!!,so, at least if it goes AWOL, I'll get me money back..I hope!!........but another 'Deltic??', well, that's something I wont put myself through!! I think it sucks that the NRM do not post directly to OZ, methinks it'll be a VAT thing,on a 150 quid loco, that's 30 quid reduction straight off for me!!, then postage of course is added, but you've seen just exactly what that cost!......Dave

[bluedot0]

Hope it arrives soon, the NRM have a history of being a closed shop.

I can remember in the late 80's I was there with dad and he wanted a model sent over when it was released, he offered to pay them there and then, but they refused to send OS, he never dealt with them again....Phil
