Title: Gaugemaster Class 73 - Green and no yelllow panel
Post by: geofff on November 13, 2021, 12:14:18 PM
Hello ,

Pre-ordered the above from Rails and they neglected/forgot/couldn't be bothered  to inform me that they had disposed of their allocation before my order could be filled - thereby missing a chance with other suppliers.

Finally obtained one, but was faulty and returned to supplier (not Rails) who could not re-supply. Searched the net , but there does not appear to one available.

Does anyone know if there will be further production of this particular model ? I notice that other versions are available, but I want the green version.

Thanks

Hi

May be best to ask Gaugemaster direct if not already done so, although once the last lot sold out that was it for a considerable while until this lot came along.

Rails are showing it as pre order rather than out of stock, so guess they're expecting more.

Might be worth asking Rails, Gaugemaster etc if they have a duff green class 73 returned by a customer which they could switch bodies on a decent chassis for you. That is, of course, if they have other models they could do that with.

Gentlemen

Very many thanks. Have ordered from Invicta. The prices from the smaller shops are comparible with the larger retailers.

I now have prepared a list of dealers from your information.


Regards



Geoff
