Bob, have you received your Dapol Club stuff yet, I got a similar response but still waiting ......

Rung three times now but nothing ...
Another house move despite "never again" has given me a second floor layout so Geominster Mainline & Heritage Line will be modified and enlarged with siding storage.

My Facebook Diary is Geominster if anyone wants to view it please ask, it is a private group requiring acceptance, thanks.

This then is my third version modified which has been improved from previous efforts and lessons learned.

Geominster was my first project which has now been dismantled. Having learnt so much from  previous Geominster projects this is the latest one.

Latest Youtube video is here.

No George - not a sausage. Even a sausage would have been nice! They claim to have had problems with their couriers and say they have shipped my membership pack  three times! Spoke to them last week and Nicola was on holiday (club secretary). They promised to phone me today - nothing! I'll give them another call tomorrow - if I don't get a sensible answer then I'll ask for my money back. I am really not impressed. :beers:
Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

Spoke to Nicola a Dapol today and she said that yet another pack had been shipped in two parcels by Royal Mail. Fingers crossed???? :hmmm:

Bob, I just spoke to Nicola and as she was in the shop promised to look into it and call me back, will see. Did you believe another pack on its way?

Nicola did seem a lot more certain about the dispatch this time George. As I said yesterday - fingers crossed. :beers:

First parcel just arrived by Royal Mail - catalogue and price list. Looking hopeful. :)

Bl***y hell Bob.

Still waiting for Nicola to call back, little chance I reckon.

What should be in members pack? Binder for newsletters, collectable gift.

Membership card.

Missed anything?

Not really sure now - its been so long since I placed the order!! What you suggested sounds vaguely familiar. I think you can look it up on the collectors club website. :beers:

Nicola rang !

All I get is the membership card, offer list, a catalogue when they publish it, a newsletter which is imminent, a model dunno what or when.

Oh and an Open Day in Wales if you want to cross Southern England to get there.

Not convinced worth it, so probably save my money nrxt yest.

Shame really as it was good when Nthusiast Club.

Now I am confused George. What you describe sounds more like the Bachmann club. The Dapol website describes more or less what you suggested in your earlier post
I received a membership card and a wagon from Bachmann/Farish so far.

I just received a catalogue from Dapol so far and have been told there is another parcel on the way
??? :confused2: :hmmm:

All in all it sounds awful being in this Dapol Club!

Just a shame they do not hold customers with high regard, I can only say if it was my business I would make sure the staff followed up customer problems asap.

They will not get me joining any time soon.

All the best with your short comings folks hope you get them sorted soon.
