I did, and for my choices of LMS Suburbans too, with my feeble memory the prospect of me finding the piece of paper after a few months is less of a certainty, but that is on me!

Quote from: Dalek on December 19, 2025, 01:57:29 PM@Adam1701D  is there any chance your expressions of interest page could email a list of items that we have expressed an interest in ?

Craig

Hi Craig - I shall feed that back to the team.

Thanks, helps us remember what we wanted/ordered/expressed our interest in, not to mention budget for it when it arrives so you don't have people dropping out when it comes to handing over the cash etc

Can I ask what the ordering process will be? Will you be asking for deposits? Having expressed an interest in 2 x BGs and 1 x buffet, I'll not want to miss out
TIA

@Adam1701D Any response, please? The same applies to the suburbans announced.

Hi Craig - I shall feed that back to the team.

It would be great if the system sent you an email with a list of items you selected.

Even today journey times from Exeter to Plymouth are a minimum of 55 minutes, 68 if it stops all shacks. I would therefore pitch it around 60 minutes for calls at NTA & TOT, if you're using a Western for traction (if the Deltic worked through give yourself a little longer, not so good on Rattery bank, I understand, although still very capable climbers).
Plymouth to Penzance is 115 minutes minimum for limited stops nowadays, remembering that the service is provided by IETs with multiple engines and good acceleration. Therefore, you're looking at about 120 minutes.

Quote from: Bealman on December 19, 2025, 07:05:56 AMI have hummed and hahhed for days over whether to post this because of the content.

But there are a heap of AI posts spreading false information and images of the tragic Bondi Beach massacre last Sunday.

Definitely the dark side.

It's that sort of dark action that then leads to accusations of 'crisis actors', which just stokes further hatred. Really makes me angry.

Decorated samples expected in six months' time:
A bit more time to save up for them then!

I suppose factoring in time lost to Chinese New Year and for revisions to tooling to have been undertaken (and new EPs checked) 6 months for deco samples is understandable. From there (if all is OK) it will then be a case of arranging a suitable factory slot and so so realistically (although happy to be proved wrong) I can't see the models arriving until this time next year at the earliest.
