Irishmail Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Mine was due today, now estimated tomorrow! Think UPS means useless parcel service 😁. Have coaches but no hoover, well not the right hoover anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Thought i would try the 50's with some coaches. Not done much on the layout, been fitting a new kitchen at home.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Looks great @Dodge1965, and @Tim Allen, no, afraid not. No coaches on order. It’ll be a while till new funds permit anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishmail Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Very strange, courier has just delivered my 50040 at 18:20 whilst tracking still says in transit and delivery due tomorrow. Just gave quick test run and so all is good. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-1260829 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) I must be the only person with a pre-order class 50 that has not arrived yet 😞 . Has anyone had their Rails of Sheffield pre-order delivered? I hope my class 50 and coaches arrive before Hornby put the class 37 on sale!!!! I've added a photo i took of Pitchford Hall at Didcot last year to ease my fustration. I hope you like it.

Rallymatt Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Have you seen the fine level of the wheel flanges? These are precision models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelton Junction Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 My track isn’t precise, apparently. Leading to various sections being ‘revisited’ 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, @Stephen-1260829 mine arrived today, though I had paid for express delivery. Runs beautifully so far. Very heavy and good quality with no problems… yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_watts1 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 You need to open the video in Chrome or other browswer, not Microsoft Edge, it's a codec issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuLarge Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I was on the fence about purchasing a class 50 and regretted it when the blue DCC/TXS sold out so fast. But an offer on the Bay of e was too good to resist. Ordered and delivered this week (sorry to those still waiting). Only shame is I can't test it until next week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 My 50 is running in and going smoothly. Only issue is it seems a little slow. Not sure if this is just my imagination but it’s running at about a scale 28mph whilst at 50% on the HMDCC app. Is that about normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
