I've stopped looking Stuart and will be delighted if it ever turns up and of course, runs OK.

Not much of an update but GM apologise for the delay and advise this morning that:

The last we have heard from Dapol is by the end of January

Thanks but I've heard that before - several times!

Cash is in the piggy bank just in case.

bluedepot · February 13, 2017, 11:20:55 AM

yup! lol

just reporting what it says on dapol digest though!

I have been invoiced today for the "Brighton Evening Argus" Class 73, so that one at least has landed.

bluedepot · February 20, 2017, 10:16:20 AM

the intercity one has landed too!

if the livery is wrong I will send it back though...

after the oo class 73 blue and intercity livery fiasco they have no excuse as plenty of forum posts have been made on the livery errors...

I'm not too fussy but the grey needs to at least vaguely match intercity livery on other coaches...

Awaiting the Royal Alex.

I hope the model is good enough Tim and I would be keen to see a comparison with your coaches.

Shot I have seen of the model (from Gaugemaster site) suggests too dark to me (but what do I know!).

Invoiced for the Southern livery today, so that is about too.

bluedepot · February 20, 2017, 04:42:12 PM

I am hoping the pictures are of an earlier sample, and that the one in the post to me is a better lighter grey and also not got the headlight...

I'm not very hopeful!

I would consider swapping for a pulman but they are sold out!

Looks like I might have to consider selling my two original pullman liveries........
