gilbo2 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 My CC 2MT (R3837) has arrived and I'm really pleased with it. (Bit tight in the tender though to get a HM7000 decoder and sugar cube speaker to fit mind you wink)The loco didn't come with a certificate saying 'x of 500' etc, are they no longer included? Earlier in the year the King Charles coronation class 66 loco did come with one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Was this loco ever described as a specific quantity limited edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I think the ‘limited’ bit referred to it only being available thru’ the club. My many 00 Collectors Club locos (0-4-0s) do not have a certificate of any kind (numbered or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbo2 Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Was this loco ever described as a specific quantity limited edition? The sales email said "Don't miss out! There’s only 500 of these striking new models in stock, and they will sell out quickly."Umm, maybe the "in stock" means there is another 10,000 on order from the factory!?Edit, their Instagram post did clearly state limited to 500:Instagram post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Get onto Customer Services and ask them if the ‘edition’ was certificated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbo2 Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 Get onto Customer Services and ask them if the ‘edition’ was certificated. Just had a reply from Customer Services who have advised that a certificate is not provided with this loco neutral_face. Shame really as there are only 500.

Mick-345930 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just opened mine, one front buffer detached in the plastic container, the other front buffer obviously loose and drooping from the buffer beam, disappointed!! Contacted customer services and waiting a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 One of mine was a bit crooked - they appear to be an interference fit as it pushed back on with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I don't recall it being a "Limited Edition" - just it was limited to 500 models. When mine arrived, the front body mounting screw was loose in the box, other than than that it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
