The site says minimum 8 weeks at present so worth bearing that in mind if it’s less than that as they probably can’t give an idea without knowing when. I ordered mine 7th Feb and got the artwork and approved it last weekend so they’ve only just gone into the next batch so hopefully sometime in April for mine.

They are ment to be doing some special plates for the victory, namely the rothervale plate. But still not heard anything. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Ruston Posted March 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2023 Wm. Pepper / Hargreaves never had a Victory to work their opencast sites, but this is how I reckon one would have looked if they did. The Ramsbottom safety valves have been replaced with Ross pops. The orange is as seen on Pepper's Jinty and Austerity. A bunker full of real Yorkshire coal. 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Been playing around with the detailed parts, mainly the sand box thingies, do like the lining on them, just need to decide whether they will be permanent or not. A second example may have to be purchase, with these being imho the best Industrial 0-6-0s on the market, any idea as to when we may see a second run of these? (I know there are plenty in stock just wondering) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Anyone have an idea if there's an off the shelf colour or one that is broadly similar to that on the Maroon Victory? Thinking to apply a similar livery to another industrial as the broad colour scheme works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have the RAL number, you can have a car factor fill you a matching aerosol paint spray can. CJI. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauliebanger Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Should be very soon now. The one on eBay says with 'a' Paul Chetter sound project. My projects are readily available from Digitrains, including one for the Victory. I'm sure it sounds great. But the one I've created for Planet Industrials is an exclusive custom sound project, specially compiled to take advantage of the new ZIMO MS decoder. This includes 2 new, unique, operational sound features to enhance your immersion and enjoyment during shunting movements. I know the wait is frustrating (I'm in the queue too!), but it should be worth it. Paul 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mine has missed one of the three shows the layout was booked for, though the Rapido Hunslet performed well in its stead. Hopefully it will arrive before Stafford in 2025........

BVMR21 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Had Victory running on the club layout quite comfortably yesterday, 11 older Lima and Mainline MK1s was the most we tested it with as we didn't feel like testing it much more, didn't get photos of that but I did get it with my Accurascale Minerals which is now on Instagram. Just need to get the sandboxes attached along with some nameplates at somepoint, does make me excited for Run 2 of these, fingers crossed for a version in Blue with White-Black-White lining. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEngineShed Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I understand that smaller businesses may only be one person deep in terms of staff responsibilities, but I'm beginning to get a bit perturbed with Planet Industrials. Maybe everyone is on a month long holiday or god forbid, there has been a death in the family... A quick timeline of events: 5 April 2021 Paid in full for a black Victory 23 November 2022 Victory shipped to my home in USA 25 December 2022 Discovered I had a bad Victory that I couldn't repair 6 January 2023 The Victory is returned to PI 17 January 2023 PI signs for the return 22 February 2023 I inquire as to the status of my return, PI kindly refunds my postage, states the Victory has been repaired and will be "dispatched by the end of the week" 11 March 2023 I receive two Royal Mail packages from Liverpool and Sheffield, both shipped the week of 22 February 25 March 2023 I request confirmation the Victory was shipped and request a tracking number, no response 7 April 2023 I request confirmation the Victory was shipped and request a tracking number, no response 12 April 2023 I request confirmation, at the info address instead of orders address, that the Victory was shipped and request a tracking number, no response We are coming up on 2 full months since the Victory was supposed to be dispatched. Royal Mail is currently taking two weeks to get from the UK to the USA. I'm at a complete loss as to why I cannot get a response from PI concerning that Victory.

I can’t make comment on your Victory, but I can say Royal Mail performance is highly variable at the moment. We have just had it take 5 weeks to deliver a business letter to Budapest, Hungary, the replacement sent arriving a full two weeks before the original. Both sent on the same service, both tracked.

My town is generally ok, but for the village down the road their usual postie had an operation, is off sick and there is no cover. They are currently getting post weekly, and that situation is not uncommon round here. Roy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall, in the metropolis of Bodmin! I post first class in the evening, just before the final collection from the delivery office postbox. Virtually all of my packages are delivered next day, according to reports from my customers. I usually achieve next day delivery for all orders received prior to mid-afternoon. I regularly post overseas - Europe, North America and Australasia - and I have not had any enquiries as to the whereabouts of packages for as long as I can remember. Just lucky, I suppose.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2023 My only Royal Mail problem lately was a parcel delivered to a neighbour of the recipient, who subsequently got very awkward about releasing it to the actual recipient. RM for their part completely washed their hands of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
