Had me for a moment as I thought that Serge (synthesizer in the little window) made it back, but the video is 5 years old. He remained in Ukraine to help his parents.

I sent an email to a friendly lady called Andrea Bowen (Personnel & Accounts Manager). Her reply was most helpful;

"You give me your address, I will make up the sales order then you can check it, add or subtract from it."

Sounds good.
 

A somewhat eclectic day as regards what I listened to - some classical, some Bonzos, some Uriah Heep and some AC/DC

Thanks Tim @Moonglum .
Very nice indeed.

Heard this on Jazz FM the other day, Martin @port perran you might like this...


A bit trippy and 60s.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't remember their pre-orders!
Anyway, it's great that Dapol are progressing with these and they'll soon feature on our layouts. Hopefully the LMS suburbans won't be far behind.

Surely locos would be exempt, but DCC controllers could well require an FCC ID.

That is only a part of the OP's post though, which suggests there are hoops to jump through for any electronic products.

eBay's take on FCC-IDs...

https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/resources/fcc-id

Applicable if listed on eBay.com or eBay.anythingelse if made available to US located purchasers.

it states "Products that intentionally transmit radio signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, or other wireless technologies" require an FCC ID. A standard DC loco does not intentionally produce a signal (traditionally many had suppression capacitors built in) but now some Digital systems are moving to wireless technologies those likely do come in to scope...

I don't think that is our fault if we don't know or remember. However the second email says that they will raise a sales order once we provide a delivery address. Presumably that will tell us what they plan to send us, and hopefully we will be able to modify our requirements.
 

This is what I'm banking on too. I didn't remember I had expressed an interest in these although I know I did in the LMS coaches that were offered shortly after. I wouldn't have had the need for the buffet so must be the bg and guessing it was the blue one
