Is/was a late crest version available without sound?

Not as far as I know. I'm getting an early crest one and will get someone to re-crest it for me into late crest.

Is the sound one out yet or is it delayed, not heard anything from my model shop.

Apparently it will be released in about two weeks.

For those of you that have actually had their 8F delivered, what dealer did you use as some of the big names are still awaiting stock. Rails etc

No posts from dealers claiming stock when they don't actually have any please.

Thanks

To be fair, the big retailers usually get their stock at the same time as the smaller ones, but (i suspect due to the sheer amount of stock from different manufacturers they get delivered) they take a while longer to unbox and get it on the system. It seems that Osborns in particular are always the first to list as 'in stock', and Rails the last.

Hope that's the case as just about everyone that had stock, quickly sold out with no more available to order from Farish (Bet they wish they made are larger batch now) and just a little concerned that whilst waiting for Rails I am going to miss out.

Mine came from John Dutfield in Chelmsford. They give 10% discount for NGS members so come close to Rails etc.

I believe Plus Daughters have some in stock too.

As per my post last week, Arcadia Rail in Shaw are showing all 3 in stock, and to quote the homepage of Tim's website;
"We will only advertise stocked items on our internet site and endeavor to update it daily. "
No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer.

I rang Rails ½ an hour ago but the lass was of no help and seemed confused. She confirmed I have a pre order on but then said according to the Bachmann website they're due Nov/Dec. When I pointed out Rails mailed me last week to say they were due in last week all she could say is that they hadn't been booked in yet. Duh

Just had an email from BVM to say my 8F is now in the post, so hopefully it will be here in a couple of days.

Might be time to change the title of this thread.
