Dapol (re)announce HST Protype train - open for pre-orders

Trainfish · August 24, 2020, 11:32:51 AM

I probably gave up on this model and didn't pay attention but I did put in a pre-order and have received an email today asking for payment. This isn't a problem but I didn't order any coaches and now I can't see any. Does anyone know where I can find them?

EDIT: I have emailed Dapol to ask if they have any to sell

I haven't either, so I would say no, it looks like they're being processed individually or batched in what would logically be by pre-ordered date, I'm sure Dapol will announce somehow that they think they've done all the pre-orders, and to contact them if you haven't received your invoice

I've seen people saying they're doing 100 at a time, so I wouldn't worry.

OK,thanks.

I ordered as soon as it was announced for reservation and I suspect i'm in the first 100.

As I understand it there is a limited number and only once pre-orders are fulfilled the remaining stock will be offered for sale.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed some make it out for general sale having missed the preorder...

Mine are arriving tomorrow by DPD.
But I wont be allowed to see them as they are a Birthday Present - will have to wait until mid-September.

Hi

I ordered on 9/09/2018 and mine has shipped today but I have no idea who is bringing it as the email or my account doesn't tell me.

Cheers

Surely you'll give it a test run to make sure it doesn't need to be returned, won't you?

That's certainly the angle I'd use.
