Firstly employed members of charities do not ‘ hang on’ they are hard working people who run the charity.Secondly, most major charities in fact employ people. I know this because I work for a charity, and I do not hang on, or even need to do the job. I do it because like many other paid charity workers (including the military charities) I want to make a difference and help people in severe difficulties and my role is a paid not voluntary role. I would hope now that this unnecessary diversion can be put to bed and we can get back to the subject of the 66 I would like to take delivery of my Colas version. Will that do for a return to the subject? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 My thanks to the good people who have paid extra for the early delivery. The rest of us can have a good look and a good read before committing our cash! 2 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted November 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2019 Always happy to oblige ND. Although the October forecasted deliver has come and gone, but rest assured as soon as I get my early order I will post some pictures and a video. However, under no circumstances will I be doing an unboxing video! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I would think that its highly likely these are not just a one batch model. I know Hatton's have done a wealth of popular liveries and selections, but this is bound to see a second batch follow at some point. Hatton's have deliberately chosen a model that is both popular and widespread meaning that follow up orders are bound to happen. When elements of the first batch sells quickly they can be added to some of the variants that are yet to be done, both in terms of livery and adaptations. There's been nothing throughout this entire process which has had me to believe that this is not a one batch run. Anything but... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBRf66701 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Very nice announcement! Will all 37 liveries arrive on Dec 18th or will the 5 new liveries be next year?

atom3624 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Is the 18th December delivery date the PRIORITY delivery or 'normal'? Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like any pre-order (before November 14th) is now 'priority' and is being air freighted. Anyone who has agreed to pay the £10 extra for air freight will now not be charged that £10.

atom3624 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks. I was just hunting the internet and reached that same conclusion. Seems like 18th December 'free airfreight' delivery for all. This is awkward - as in wife is not going to be happy, but .... heh ho !! Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric709 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Will 623 be painted in the correct darker shade of orange? shade on that preproduction shell looks like the one applied to the real 413, this was painted the wrong shade at Crewe. 415, 419 and 623 were painted the correct shade at Eastleigh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegleg90 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Excellent update Hattons. Best brace my wallet then if these are (if I've read this correctly) due after 18th November for the original 30 versions! Best behave at the Warley show then. Very much like the new liveries but cant justify buying them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Absolutely astounding that Hattons are getting all pre orders air freighted in at no extra cost. I dare say there's going to be a few folk chuntering that they'd gone for the express delivery so they could be in the exclusive club of first acquisition, but now us ordinaries will be in the same boat, but it's really not the end of the world! Thanks very much must go to Hattons for taking this decision, and financial hit in the name of customer service. Looking forward to my shed arriving!

I doubt many will be that worried & they will soon forget about it. I think you also mean we'll all be on the same plane, not in the same boat 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
