Similar story for me - still I'd rather they were right than rushed
A keen modern image modeller in N Gauge, the latest creation I am working on is Cottingfield - an N Gauge Rule 1 Layout

Plotting has started on a DC controlled layout for the trains I can't easily convert to DCC North Wroxham - an N Gauge Modern Era Layout

Do you think it would be prudent for me to pre-order? I've got a funny feeling that the price is going to go up when they are actually released ...

They can still legally raise the price and ask you pay the difference.

I think it's been too long for the price to remain as was. Usually you get a mail along the lines of "the price is now expected to be £***. Should this not be acceptable please cancel your order"

I have two on order but I've not paid a penny.

I've got that feeling too - they are very good value at sub £100 from most retailers

Collet's offer the option of paying up front, in instalments, or prior to despatch.
If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do."

I was in the shop this morning and asked if there was any progress in an approximate date when they would know what month or year this new batch of 73s might be released. I was pointed in the direction of the shop manager, who replied with his own question "how long's a piece of string?".

Lovely  :-\ ???

We no doubt have to wait for this to be put in the Dapol production pipeline so more a case of 'How long is a pipeline?' I have a green one on pre order but am not holding my breath :no:

Having just taken delivery of one of the latest Dapol 33's, I'm wondering if part of the delay is that they are re engineering the chassis to take Next 18 sockets? The new 33's chassis is very different to the old one. Given how poor the DCC ready 73 chassis was compared to the old "non ready" chassis, it might, sort of, justify the wait.
