N'thusiast Club from Dapol

will keep this thread update when offers come through if they ever change your mind. tbh the reason i have it because of their open day. as i go armed with cash as you get a far few quid of locos, wagons etc

Have been thinking about joining, not sure if it's worth it though. Should be able to get to open days though so will probably do it. The wagons always seem to be old school 7 plank etc and the actions of a fair few selling the A4's on ebay for £400 is a bit annoying too.

Besides, all I really want is an A4 in the NRM livery with Valences, they could even make it 'realistic' by only having it as a dummy and I'd still buy one.

Hmmm, nearly 6 weeks after joining the N'thusiasts club and I've heard nothing

i must admit they are usually slow, which tbh does not look good. think when i had to renew they never sent the renewal out until a month after it expired.

Slowness and near-total lack of communication were the main reasons I never bothered to renew ...

I totally agree. I understand that they dont have the resources that Bachmann do but its still not the point. All it would of took is a letter or email saying there is a delay, your important to us and all that rubbish.

Answering emails would be a start

Where are their open days for the factories then? (sorry if it is a silly question

)

I am curious what will happen to the name as Nthusiast (as in Nthusiast Resprays) was a Dave Jones thing and he has departed.

Open day I assume will be at the factory in Chirk near Wrexham.

simonprelude · August 12, 2013, 09:29:00 AM

Well I got the pack through, sold the 7 plank wagon and recouped half the costs.

Awaiting details of the open day etc now.

GWR-Kris · August 12, 2013, 10:14:02 AM

open day is the 5th of october iirc
