Dapol announcement looking for expressions of interest in Gresley D113/245

[madchadbrad]

@Adam1701D  is there any chance your expressions of interest page could email a list of items that we have expressed an interest in ?

Craig

Hi Craig - I shall feed that back to the team.

Thanks, helps us remember what we wanted/ordered/expressed our interest in, not to mention budget for it when it arrives so you don't have people dropping out when it comes to handing over the cash etc

Craig

I would have thought that, because your expression of interest has to have an e-mail address with it, when the time comes and the coaches are available, Dapol should contact us via those e-mails to demand we cough up for the list we have "ordered".
Personally I feel that they should have no trouble whatsoever clearing any unsold examples, should those who expressed an interest decide they have changed their mind! . . . ?

I agree with that but its a pity it didn't just email you your wish list after you submitted it like a normal order, i like this stuff so i can look back on it, set an email reminder etc, chap at dapol says he will raise it so lets see if we get an email at some point.

We are lucky we get any interaction at all from these businesses, but hats off to them and others that do it, makes the whole thing better for both parties.

Both the full brake and the refurbished buffet are now in tooling ... remains to be seen which livery versions were most popular/ they decide to go with ...

[Chris Morris]

There's a blue & grey buffet car with my name on it, hopefully.

@Adam1701D will I am sure confirm (or otherwise) but it was my understanding that all the liveries promoted for the Gresley BG and refurbished buffet will be produced, in fact as far as the buffet is concerned they have added BR maroon variants to those initially announced.

Hi Roy - that is correct. We are producing all the advertised versions of the Gresley BG and Buffet.

The Stanier Suburbans will probably be released in batches, with the most popular coming out first.

Again I ask - how are our expressions of interest to be turned into orders please?

HI Mick

When you expressed an interest you provide contact details in the form of name, e-mail and phone number on the form submitted.

I would expect that when Dapol are ready to start processing orders they will reach out to all those who expressed an interest to convert the EOI into an order. At what stage in the cycle that will be I don't think has been said, but presumably when they are close to or in production.

I'm hopeless without something on file, Roy.
Luckily I posted what I registered for in reply #1 in this thread

I have that problem with the suburbans

[Chris Morris]

I'm pretty sure I expressed an interest so I hope I will get an email at some point in the future.
