I doubt they test them. Spray, box, go. Not surprised there's overspray on the wheels, disappointing as that is.

After the madness that is Mr Blobby, let's return to some serious love song stuff.......

I believe @Hailstone has had something weathered by Rails so maybe he could comment

Quote from: madchadbrad on December 17, 2025, 01:27:59 PMI just tried to express my interest in some BR lined maroon versions but cannot get their system to register any number other than "0" for the DBT 2P-010-404. All the other ones I selected had a pull down menu for the quantity but not that one!
Anyone else had a problem?

Hi, I've just tried this on my computer and didn't find any issue with the drop down menu. Could you try again please?

If you keep experiencing the same issue, let me know and I'll raise this with the marketing team to see if it is an occasional glitch.

Many thanks.

I just tried again on my laptop, rather than my iPad, and it finally worked OK.
I had sent Dapol a message about it and they said it had been a problem on mobile phones and they thought had been fixed but they would check it again.
Maybe it had been fixed or maybe it was my iPad!
All sorted now anyway.

Well that takes the biscuit! Let's have a bit of class, loved her since the 1980s so here she is live...


Phew...

Plymouth you'd need to drop some coaches back then for the grades and the short platforms so you'd probably want the buffet and a few coaches such that you can drop the train end at Plymouth ?

ie you'd want

Brake blah blah blah Brake catering blah blah brake

Eurovision reminds me that brits can make truly trash music too.

Sorry for digging up this old thread but I wondered how any customers who have bought stuff weathered by Rails have got on recently. I only ask as I'm helping a fellow Men's Shed member to build an OO layout, and he has just bought one of the new Rapido Met Tanks weathered by them. It was a poor runner on DC and we struggled to get it going at all on DCC. I took it home last night and cleaned the wheels today. All were dirty, covered in overspray I suspect. Surely they should check to see if things run OK after weathering? Or am I just a poor deluded old g@t?!

I'm not expert, but 45 minutes for loco change seems excessive. And frustrating for passengers...Ten minutes would probably be more than enough.
