Just realised it should have read .02, have modified accordingly.
Apparantly I was 0.06 this time last year, and 0.04 in July, so all going down nicely.
He mentioned there is a chance next couple of readings will be higher, but as long as they don't go over 0.05 all is good.

Quote from: Newportnobby on January 27, 2026, 01:56:55 PMThanks for that. I don't do Facebook. Perhaps they could update their own website

People that "do" Facebook don't realise that many of us don't. They should certainly have a progress line at the top of the "expression of interest" page. It would probably accelerate progress. If it's gone from 50% to 80% in a month, they should get there or thereabouts by March... :worried:

Well done, son. :thumbsup:

Mine's currently 0.04, so I'm hoping it doesn't go up! :beers:

Yeah the numbers and nameplates are added by Rainbow. To be honest I wouldn't be able to tell unless told, looks just like a factory finish to me . May look odd in the photo but doesn't look like it on the model

Ordered number one, just pondering on another.
As @njee20 mentioned 5 and 7 appear popular, now down to 4 of each left, whilst all the others are showing 5+

Five seemed oddly popular; with only 1 left when I ordered. I actually forget which one I got! The number looks a little odd in that photo. I'm presuming these have been finished by Rainbow in part, like the bespoke models. Interested to see what the quality is like.

Yeah, when I rode the Ffestiniog a few years back it stopped for half an hour on the way back because a piece broke. Luckily the crew had a spare bit on board.
