If you don't know that there's anything incorrect by looking at your set is it something you need to worry about...?

Short answer no, I am happy as pig in    with my GWR set
  stay safe regards Derek

I'm happy with mine but I'll ask for a replacement anyway. If you think about it the Japanese are very honourable people. Mr Kato found a mistake and as a matter of honour he has sent corrected interiors over here. I'm sure he would be insulted if people didn't take up these replacement parts he has sent over.

  Fair comment Chris,

I would never have noticed but thought I may need a spare due to potential future vandalism by the Bristol City fans travelling home from yet another defeat. Sorry @port perran

I emailed my supplier, not Gaugemaster, yesterday and today they have said "I will get you some replacements in the post for you". Maybe they're anticipating a heavy defeat

I'm very happy with my set, and wouldn't have know had it not been for earlier comments on here, but as a replacement is available, I'm happy and grateful to Kato for making them available and for being upfront about it.

Top marks to Kato and Gaugemaster as their distributor for doing this.

Cheers, Timmo

After mailing them, Rails have confirmed my replacement inner will be with me mid next week. I may as well have it as not, and full marks to Kato for dealing with this quickly.

Yep, looks like a heavy defeat is on the way:



I'll leave it up to the experts to tell me which coach or coaches to put them in. Either that or I'll tuck them away in the drawer for a rainy day

Popped into Gaugemaster earlier to collect mine, he said they have literally the exact number, so weird you're being sent spares.

That said, he said it was roughly 50% take up, with half of people just not being fussed, so there must be spares!

Hello all,

Some good news re the wrongly moulded interior for the composite car, which has the 2+1 first class seating at the standard end, and the 2+2 standard seating at the first class end...

Ben says it's the composite car, but if you know which that is you're a better man than me, Gunga Din

See the Kato video linked by Mike in Reply #590 on: July 06, 2021.

The composite car has the short silver stripe above the windows on one end, that's the first class end. Runs behind the first class driving car with the blocked out windows (kitchen).

Cheers, Timmo

And the running number 814021

[Trainfish]

Perfect, thank you. Maybe I'll write the coach number on the underside of the new seats so they can be replaced when the Bristol City fans get off

2 x seating inserts received from Rails today.
There is just the one composite coach so it's really clever of Rails to know I'm a hamfisted idiot who is likely to break one in the fitting of it.
